下面先介绍一下盲源分离BSS(Blind Source Separation,简称:BSS)技术。
BSS技术主要解决“鸡尾酒会”问题,即从给定的混合信号中分离出每个人说话的独立信号。当有M个源信号时,通常假设观察信号也有M个,即假设麦克风阵列中有M个麦克风。举例来说,在一个房间的不同位置放着两个麦克风,同时有两个人说话,每个麦克风都能采集到两个人说话的音频信号,输出一路观测信号,假设两个麦克风输出的两个观测信号为x
1,x
2,两路源信号为s
1,s
2,则x
1,x
2分别由s
1、s
2混合而成,即x
1=a
11*s
1+a
12*s
2,x
2=a
21*s
1+a
22*
s2,BSS技术主要解决从x
1,x
2中分离出s
1,s
2的问题。
当存在M路观测信号x
1,…,x
M时,BSS技术主要解决如何从x
1,…,x
M中分离出M路源信号s
1,…,s
M、。由上述举例可知,X=AS,X=[x
1,…,x
M],S=[s
1,…,s
M],A为混合矩阵;假设有Y=WX,Y是对S的估计,W为分离矩阵,W通过自然梯度法得到。所以,在BSS时,先得到分离矩阵W,然后利用分离矩阵W对观测信号X进行分离,得到源信号S,其中,通过自然梯度法得到分离矩阵W。
现有技术中,单麦克风的说话人分割时,主要利用说话人的音频特征进行分割,无法分割说话类似的说话人(音频特征相似的说话人),分割精度低;多麦克风的说话人分割***,需要获取说话人的角度和位置,利用说话人的角度和位置对说话人进行分割,所以多麦克风的说话人分割***需要预先知道麦克风阵列的排列信息和空间位置信息,但是,随着器件的老化,导致麦克风阵列的排布信息和空间位置信息发生变化,导致分割精度降低,而且利用说话人的角度和位置对说话人进行分割,难以区分角度接近的说话人,且在分割时受房间混响影响较大,分割精度低。为了解决现有技术中说话人分割精度低的问题,特提出本申请中的音频信号处理方法,以期提高说话人的分割精度。
参阅图1A,图1A为一种音频信号处理方法的场景架构图,该场景架构图包括声源、麦克风阵列、音频处理装置,音频处理装置包括:空间特征提取模块、盲源分离模块、音频特征提取模块、第一聚类模块、第二聚类模块、音频分割模块;麦克风阵列用于采集说话人的说话音频,得到观测信号;空间特征提取模块用于确定观测信号对应的空间特征矩阵;盲源分离模块用于对观测信号进行盲源分离,得到源信号;第一聚类模块用于对空间特征矩阵进行第一聚类,得到初始聚类;音频特征提取模块用于对源信号进行特征提取,得到源信号对 应的预设音频特征;第二聚类模块用于根据源信号对应的预设音频特征以及初始聚类进行第二聚类,得到目标聚类;音频分割模块用于根据目标聚类对源信号进行音频分割,输出音频信号和说话人标签,所述说话人标签用于标注输出的音频信号中每个音频帧对应的说话人数量和/或说话人身份。

可以看出,在本申请实施例中,利用预设音频特征、分离矩阵和空间特征矩阵进行聚类,得到说话人的身份和数量,相比现有技术仅利用音频特征进行说话人分割,提高了说话人的分割精度;而且,本申请多麦的说话人分割技术,引入了空间特征矩阵,无需预先知道麦克风阵列的排列信息即可进行说话人分割,不会产生由于器件老化导致排列信息变化而降低分割精度的问题。
参阅图2A,图2A为本申请实施例提供的另一种音频信号处理方法的流程示意图,这种方法可包括但不限于如下步骤:
步骤201:音频处理装置接收麦克风阵列采集的N路观测信号,对所述N路观测信号进行盲源分离以得到M路源信号和M个分离矩阵,所述M路源信号和所述M个分离矩阵一一对应,N为大于或者等于2的整数,M为大于或者等于1的整数。
其中,所述N路观测信号为麦克风阵列在一段时间内采集到的音频信号。
在盲源分离时,如有D个源信号时,通常假设观察信号也有D个,以便确定混合矩阵为方阵,此时称麦克风阵列为标准的独立成分分析ICA模型,对于源信号的维数和麦克风阵列 的维数不同时,这种情况称非方阵ICA模型non-square ICA。本申请以标准的ICA模型为例做具体说明,即N=M。
可选的,通过时域法对所述N路观测信号进行盲源分离时,具体包括以下步骤:假设N路观测信号分别为x

11,w
12,…w
1M,w
21,w
22,…w
2M,…,w
M1,w
M2,…,w
MM],每M列w为一个分离矩阵,每个分离矩阵用于分离该N路观测信号,得到一路源信号,基于BSS从所述N观测信号中分离出M路源信号的分离公式为:
可选的,通过频域法对对所述N路观测信号进行盲源分离时,上述分离公式变换为:
步骤202:音频处理装置获取所述N路观测信号的空间特征矩阵,所述空间特征矩阵用于表示所述N路观测信号之间的相关性。
可选的,获取所述N路观测信号的空间特征矩阵的实现过程可以为:将所述N路观测信号中每路观测信号分割为Q个音频帧;
根据每个音频帧组对应的N个音频帧确定每个第一音频帧组对应的空间特征矩阵,得到Q个空间特征矩阵,每个第一音频帧组对应的N个音频帧为所述N路观测信号在同一时间窗口下的N个音频帧;
根据所述Q个空间特征矩阵得到所述N路观测信号的空间特征矩阵;
c
F(k,n)表示每个第一音频组对应的空间特征矩阵,n表示所述Q个音频帧的帧序号,k表示第n个音频帧的频点索引,X

F(k,n)的范数。
其中,空间特征矩阵中的对角线元素代表麦克风阵列中每个麦克风采集到的观测信号的能量,非对角线元素代表麦克风阵列中不同麦克风采集到的观测信号之间的相关性。例如,空间特征矩阵的对角线元素C
11代表了麦克风阵列中第1个麦克风采集到的观测信号的能量,非对角线元素C
12代表了麦克风阵列中第1个麦克风与第2个麦克风采集到的观测信号之间的相关性,该相关性是由于说话相对于第1个麦克风和第2个麦克风的空间位置不同造成的。所以通过空间特征矩阵可以反映出每个第一音频帧组对应的说话人的空间位置。
参阅图2B,图2B为本申请实施例提供的一种N路观测信号中每路观测信号在任意一个时间窗口下的音频帧在频域中的表征的示意图,假设每个音频帧中包含s个频点,则从图2B中可以看出N路观测信号中在该时间窗口下的所有第一个频点对应的列向量为[a
11+b
11*j,a
21+b
21*j,…a
N1+b
N1*j]
T,将每个时间窗口对应的N个音频帧作为一个第一音频帧组,由于将每路观测信号分割为Q个音频帧,故可得到Q个第一音频帧组;获取图2B所示的时 间窗口下其他频点在频域中的表征,得到该时间窗口下的第一音频帧组对应的
基于上述的空间特征矩阵的计算方法,分别计算每个第一音频组对应的空间特征矩阵,得到Q个空间特征矩阵,Q个空间特征矩阵按照其所在的时间窗口的先后顺序进行拼接,得到所述N路观测信号对应的空间特征矩阵。
步骤203:音频处理装置获取所述M路源信号中每路源信号的预设音频特征。
可选的,获取所述M路源信号中每路源信号的预设音频特征的步骤包括:将所述M路源信号中每路源信号分割为Q个音频帧;获取每路源信号的每个音频帧的预设音频特征。
其中,所述预设音频特征包括但不限于以下一种或几种:过零率ZCR、短时能量、基频、梅尔倒谱系数MFCC。

其中,E
n为第n个音频帧的短时能量,N为第n个音频帧的帧长。
步骤204:音频处理装置根据每路源信号的预设音频特征、所述M个分离矩阵和所述空间特征矩阵确定所述N路观测信号对应的说话人数量和说话人身份。
首先,根据所述空间特征矩阵进行第一聚类,得到P个初始聚类,每个初始聚类对应一个初始聚类中心矩阵,所述初始聚类中心矩阵用于表示每个初始聚类对应的说话人的空间位置,P为大于或者等于1的整数;确定M个相似度,所述M个相似度为每个初始聚类对应的初始聚类中心矩阵与所述M个分离矩阵之间的相似度;根据所述M个相似度确定每个初始聚类对应的源信号,对每个初始聚类对应的源信号的预设音频特征进行第二聚类,得到所述N路观测信号对应的说话人数量和/或说话人身份。
具体来讲,由于空间特征矩阵反映了说话人的空间位置,故利用每个第一音频组对应的空间特征矩阵作为样本数据,则得到Q个样本数据,利用该Q个样本数据进行第一聚类,将空间特征矩阵距离相近的聚为一类,得到一个初始聚类,每个初始聚类对应一个初始聚类中心矩阵,初始聚类中心矩阵表示说话人的空间位置,该初始聚类中心以空间特征矩阵的形式表示,在聚类完成后,得到P个初始聚类,确定出所述N路观测信号是由说话人在P个空间位置说话产生。
其中,第一聚类和第二聚类可以采用的聚类算法包括但不限于以下几种:最大期望聚类算法EM(英文:Expectation Maximization)、K-means聚类算法、层次聚类算法HAC(英文:Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering)。
在一些可能实施方式中,由于分离矩阵代表了空间位置,故分离矩阵在一定程度上反映说话人的数量,所以在采用K-means算法进行第一聚类时,根据分离矩阵的数量估计初始聚 类的数量,将K-means算法中的k值赋值为分离矩阵的数量M,然后,预设与M个初始聚类对应的聚类中心进行第一聚类,通过分离矩阵的数量估计初始聚类的数量,减少迭代次数,加快聚类速度。
可选的,根据所述M个相似度确定每个初始聚类对应的源信号的步骤包括:根据所述M个相似度确定每个初始聚类对应的源信号确定所述M个相似度中的最大相似度,确定所述M个分离矩阵中与最大相似度对应的分离矩阵为目标分离矩阵;确定与所述目标分离矩阵对应的源信号为每个初始聚类对应的源信号。通过求取初始聚类中心与分离矩阵的相似度,确定出P个空间位置中每个空间位置对应的源信号,即确定出每个初始聚类对应的源信号。
可选的,对每个初始聚类对应的源信号的预设音频特征进行第二聚类,得到所述N路观测信号对应的说话人数量和/或说话人身份的实现过程可以为:对每个初始聚类对应的源信号的预设音频特征进行第二聚类,得到H个目标聚类,所述H个目标聚类表示所述N路观测信号对应的说话人数量,每个目标聚类对应一个目标聚类中心,每个目标聚类中心是由一个预设音频特征和至少一个初始聚类中心矩阵组成,每个目标聚类对应的预设音频特征用于表示每个目标聚类对应的说话人的说话人身份,每个目标聚类对应的至少一个初始聚类中心矩阵用于表示所述说话人的空间位置。
可选的,对每个初始聚类对应的源信号的预设音频特征进行第二聚类,得到H个目标聚类的实现过程可以为:对每个初始聚类对应的源信号的预设音频特征进行第二聚类,得到每个初始聚类对应的至少一个目标聚类;根据每个初始聚类对应的至少一个目标聚类,得到所述H个目标聚类
具体来讲,将每个初始聚类对应的源信号的每个音频帧的预设音频特征组成特征向量作为一个样本数据,得到与每个初始聚类对应的源信号对应的若干个样本数据,对该若干个样本数据进行聚类,将音频特征相似的样本数据聚为一类,得到该初始聚类对应的目标聚类,如每个初始聚类对应的源信号为一个说话人的音频信号,则在多次聚类迭代后该若干个样本数据对应一个目标聚类中心,该目标聚类中心以特征向量的形式表现,该目标聚类中心表示该说话人的的身份信息(音频特征),如每个初始聚类对应的源信号对应多个说话人,则在多次聚类迭代后该初始聚类对应的源信号的若干个样本数据对应多个目标聚类中心,每个目标聚类中心表示每个说话人的身份信息,故将该初始聚类对应的源信号拆分成了多个目标聚类;如第一路源信号和第二源信号对应的说话人为同一个说话人,在第二聚类后,两路源信号对应的目标聚类中心为同一个目标聚类中心或者两者的聚类中心相近,则将两路源信号对应的两个初始聚类作为同一个目标聚类;由于第二聚类是在第一聚类基础上进行的,所以第二聚类得到的目标聚类中心还包含第一聚类得到说话人的空间位置。
举例来说,如图2C所示,由于分离矩阵表示了说话人的空间位置信息,故每路源信号是根据说话人所在的空间位置分离得到的,当同一个说话人在不同位置说话时,在第一聚类时,会从观测信号中分离出与该说话人对应的多路源信号,且对应不同的初始聚类。如该说话人0~t
1时间段内在位置W
1说话,t
2~t
3时间段内在位置W
2说话,t
3>t
2>t
1,且确定出该说话人在W
1和W
2对应的源信号分别为s
1和s
2,如s
1对应初始聚类A,s
2对应初始聚类B,由于s
1和s
2对应同一个说话人,0~t
1内的预设音频特征与t
2~t
3内的预设音频特征一致,所以在第二聚类后,可确定s
1和s
2对应同一个目标聚类中心,由于t
2>t
1,可确定出s
2是由说话人走到位置W
2产生的音频信号,故可将两个初始聚类A和B合并为一个目标聚类,故该目标聚类的目标聚类中心包含了第一聚类得到的空间位置W
1和W
2以及第二聚类得到说话人的预 设音频特征。
再例如,如图2D所示,如说话人A和说话人B在同一个位置W
3说话,由于说话人的位置相同,则基于分离矩阵分离出一路与位置W
3对应的源信号s
3,但源信号s
3中同时包括了说话人A和说话人B的音频信号,一般来讲,说话人A和说话人B不可能在同一个位置一直保持同时说话,我们假设0~t
1时间段内,说话人A在位置W
3说话,说话人B未说话,t
2~t
3时间段内说话人B在位置W
3说话,由于这两个时间段内为不同的说话人在说话,所以,该两个时间段内的预设音频特征不一致,在进行第二聚类后,该路源信号会对应两个目标聚类中心,第一个目标聚类中心包含了第一聚类得到的位置信息W
3以及第二聚类得到说话人A的音频特征,第二个目标聚类中心包含了第一聚类得到的位置信息W
3以及第二聚类得到说话人B的音频特征。
可选的,在对每个初始聚类对应的源信号的预设音频特征进行第二聚类之前,所述方法还包括:对每路源信号进行人声分析,以移除该M路源信号中为非人声的源信号,其中,对每路源信号进行人声分析的实现过程可以为:将每路源信号的每个音频帧的预设音频特征与人声的音频特征进行比对,确定每路源信号中是否包含人声。
步骤205:音频处理装置根据所述N路观测信号对应的说话人数量和说话人身份输出包含有第一说话人标签的音频信号,所述第一说话人标签用于标注所述音频信号的每个帧音频帧对应的说话人数量。
可选的,根据所述N路观测信号对应的说话人数量和说话人身份得到包含有第一说话人标签的输出音频的步骤包括:确定K个距离,所述K个距离为每个第一音频帧组对应的空间特征矩阵与每个目标聚类对应的至少一个初始聚类中心矩阵的距离,每个第一音频帧组由所述N路观测信号在同一时间窗口下的N个音频帧组成,K≥H;根据所述K个距离确定每个第一音频帧组对应的说话人数量,即确定所述H个距离中大于距离阈值的L个距离,将L作为该第一音频帧组对应的说话人数量;然后,确定该第一音频帧组对应的时间窗口,将该输出音频在该时间窗口的音频帧的说话人数量标记为L;最后,依次确定每个第一音频帧组对应的说话人数量,从而得到该第一说话人标签。
其中,该距离阈值可以为80%、90%、95%或者其他值。
可选的,该输出音频在每个时间窗口下的音频帧可以包含多路音频,也可以为该多路音频的混合音频。举例来说,如在0~t
1为说话人A和说话人B同时说话,且说话人A和说话人B位于不同的空间位置,则从说话人A对应的源信号中提取出0~t
1内说话人A的第一说话音频,同样从说话人B对应的源信号中提取出0~t
1内说话人B的第二说话音频,可以单独保留第一说话音频和第二说话音频,即该输出音频在0~t
1内对应两路说话音频,且标注0~t
1有说话人2个人同时说话,在也可以将第一说话音频和第二说话音频,则该输出音频在0~t
1对应一路混合音频,同样标注0~t
1内有2个说话人同时说话。
