Dereverberation Technique with Linear Predictive Modeling and Inverse Filtering E6820 – Speech/Audio Processing Spring 2005 Victor Sutan
Background & Purpose • What is reverberation? • Why study dereverberation? • Purpose: A method to reduce or possibly remove reverberation from the audio signal
Solutions • Existing methods • Multi-microphones: beam-forming, inverse filtering • Single-microphone: Cepstrum based, Linear regression • Nakatani • Single Channel Speech based on Harmonic Structure (Naka 03) • Blind Dereverberation with Time Warping (Naka 04) • Proposed Solution • Dereverberation with LPC and Inverse Filtering
Naka03 (cont.) • Naka 03 • Legends: • Thin: Impulse response • Thick dashed line: male • Thick solid line: female
Naka04 x(t) = observed signal F = Adaptive Harmonic Filter w(t) = Dereverberation Filter
Ellis 05 • Separate Reverberated Resonances with LPC models • High Level LPC models to capture spectral structures • Look for repeating pole for every frame. • Could be from reverberation • Inverse Filtering to dereverb
Next Steps • Investigate proposed solution • LPC Model • Inverse Filter • Can Nakatani’s be improved for male speech? • What will happen to Nakatani’s if Reverberation Time is more than 1 sec?
