Multi-Sensor Noise Suppression and Bandwidth Extension for Enhancement of Speech

Speech enhancement has been an active research problem for decades and continues to be an important problem. This is made even more true by the proliferation of portable devices having audio input capabilities. In the presence of noise, both the quality and intelligibility of speech signals have been significantly deteriorated.
The proposed research are the frameworks for improving the quality/intelligibility of the degraded speech:
1) a single-channel noise suppression system based on perceptual speech detection
2) multi-sensor noise suppression system for acoustic harsh environments based on non-air conductive sensors
3) a speech bandwidth extension system for telephone speech
Significant improvement in both speech intelligibility and quality from the proposed frameworks are indicated from extensive experiments, inlcuding MOS, DRT, speech recognition task, and log spectral distortion.
