Abstract:
In this paper, a multi-channel speech enhancement method with the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamforming method based on the time-frequency (T-F) masking is proposed. In this study, First, the logarithmic power spectrum (LPS) features of multichannel signals are used as input features to estimate a T-F mask of the reference microphone by the deep neural network (DNN) model. Then, the estimated mask is utilized to calculate speech covariance matrix that is used to estimate a steering vector for constructing the MVDR beamformer. The steering vector is estimated by the generalized eigenvalue decomposition (GEVD) method. Finally, the output speech of the beamformer is processed by the DNN-based IRM model. In order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method, the perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) and the segment signal-to-noise ratio (SSNR) are employed. The experimental results show that the proposed method effectively increased the PESQ and SSNR. © 2019 IEEE.
