Title
Feature extraction combining spectral noise reduction and cepstral histogram equalization for robust ASR
Abstract
This work is mainly focused on showing experimental results us- ing a combination of two methods for noise compensation which are shown to be complementary: classical spectral subtraction al- gorithm and histogram equalization. While spectral subtraction is focused on the reduction of the additive noise in the spectral do- main, histogram equalization is applied in the cepstral domain to compensate the remaining non-linear effects associated to channel distortion and additive noise. The estimation of the noise spec- trum for the spectral subtraction method relies on a new algorithm for speech / non-speech detection (SND) based on order statis- tics. This SND classication is also used for dropping long speech pauses. Results on Aurora 2 and Aurora 3 are reported.
