Description

MCLP-based voice dereverberation method and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of voice signal processing, in particular to a voice dereverberation method and a voice dereverberation system based on MCLP.
Background
In daily life, the scene requirement of indoor recording is more and more extensive, is common in indoor meetings, auditorium lectures, network live broadcast, intelligent voice assistants and the like, and in these scenes, a voice signal collected by a microphone is often mixed with a serious reverberation component. Reverberation is an acoustic phenomenon generated in a closed space, and due to the multipath propagation effect of sound, reflection is generated on the surfaces of a wall body and an object, so that collected voice signals are blurred due to poor time delay, and the definition of a voice frequency spectrum is seriously polluted. Research has shown that early reverberant sounds within 50 milliseconds help to improve speech intelligibility, and fullness, but excessive late reverberation can severely impact speech signal quality.
The inventors have found in practice that the above prior art has the following drawbacks:
for Multi-channel linear prediction (Multi-Channel Linear Prediction, MCLP) algorithms in the field of speech dereverberation, since the clean speech signal is modeled as a time-varying gaussian model, the algorithm performance is severely dependent on the accuracy of estimating the power spectral density (Power Spectral Density, PSD) of the clean speech signal, whereas the original online MCLP algorithm directly uses the observed reverberation signal instead of the clean speech to estimate the PSD, which has poor accuracy and affects the dereverberation effect. In part of the improved research effort on the algorithm, a late reverberation component PSD estimation algorithm is used, and then the reverberation PSD is subtracted by spectral subtraction to obtain an estimated clean speech PSD. However, since the reverberant PSD estimation is inaccurate, when the amplitude of the estimated value is larger, the direct spectrum subtraction can cause over-subtraction problem, so that the frequency spectrum has over-zero points, and the problems of frequency spectrum distortion and music noise are caused.
