| Abstract: |
Most DFT domain based enhancement methods rely on stochastic models to derive clean speech estimators. In this paper we investigate the use of a deterministic speech model and present an MMSE estimator under a combined stochastic-deterministic speech model. Experimental results show an increase in segmental SNR of 1.18 dB, compared to the use of a stochastic model alone. Furthermore, PESQ evaluations lead to an increase of 0.3 on the MOS scale. Listening tests show a preference for the proposed MMSE estimator under combined stochastic-deterministic speech model. |
