ADAPTIVE NOISE SUPPRESSION IN VOICE COMMUNICATION USING ASSNFIS SYSTEM

The paper proposed the adaptive noise suppression technique for suppression of noise in voice communication. There are different techniques earlier used for adaptive filteration like least mean square, kalman’s filter etc.In the paper we used “fuzzy logic” technique for adaptive filteration. We know about the theory of adptive filteration of noise and application of fuzzy logic. We are using the fuzzy logic functions anfis and genfis1 by matlab for simulation. Anfis is the adaptive neuro-fuzzy training of sugeno-type fuzzy inference systems. In this paper we uses anfis system to suppress different types of noise from voice signal

Likelihood-Maximizing-Based Multiband Spectral Subtraction for Robust Speech Recognition

Automatic speech recognition performance degrades significantly when speech is affected by environmental noise. Nowadays, the major challenge is to achieve good robustness in adverse noisy conditions so that automatic speech recognizers can be used in real situations. Spectral subtraction (SS) is a well-known and effective approach; it was originally designed for improving the quality of speech signal judged by human listeners. SS techniques usually improve the quality and intelligibility of speech signal while speech recognition systems need compensation techniques to reduce mismatch between noisy speech features and clean trained acoustic model. Nevertheless, correlation can be expected between speech quality improvement and the increase in recognition accuracy. This paper proposes a novel approach for solving this problem by considering SS and the speech recognizer not as two independent entities cascaded together, but rather as two interconnected components of a single system, sharing the common goal of improved speech recognition accuracy. This will incorporate important information of the statistical models of the recognition engine as a feedback for tuning SS parameters. By using this architecture, we overcome the drawbacks of previously proposed methods and achieve better recognition accuracy. Experimental evaluations show that the proposed method can achieve significant improvement of recognition rates across a wide range of signal to noise ratios

Analysis and Voice Recognition in Indonesian Language Using MFCC and SVM Method

Voice recognition technology is one of biometric technology. Sound is a unique part of the human being which made an individual can be easily distinguished one from another. Voice can also provide information such as gender, emotion, and identity of the speaker. This research will record human voices that pronounce digits between 0 and 9 with and without noise. Features of this sound recording will be extracted using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC). Mean, standard deviation, max, min, and the combination of them will be used to construct the feature vectors. This feature vectors then will be classified using Support Vector Machine (SVM). There will be two classification models. The first one is based on the speaker and the other one based on the digits pronounced. The classification model then will be validated by performing 10-fold cross-validation.The best average accuracy from two classification model is 91.83%. This result achieved using Mean + Standard deviation + Min + Max as features

Nonlinear Spectral Subtraction Berbasis Tsallis Statistics Untuk Peningkatan Kualitas Sinyal Ucapan

Adanya derau (noise) mengurangi kualitas dan inteligibilitas dari sinyal ucapan dan ini berakibat menurunnya performa dari aplikasi berbasis sinyal ucapan. Pengurangan spektral (spectral subtraction) adalah salah satu metode yang populer untuk menghilangkan derau tersebut. Akan tetapi, pengurangan spektral memiliki kelemahan, yaitu memperkenalkan musical noise. Telah banyak turunan dari pengurangan spektral yang diusulkan untuk mengurangi musical noise. Salah satunya adalah menggunakan oversubtraction dalam formulasi pengurangan spektral. Pendekatan ini disebut nonlinear pengurangan spektral. Akan tetapi, penentuan faktor ini secara heuristik. Dengan menggunakan Tsallis statistics, nonlinear subtraksi dapat diturunkan secara matematis. Varian baru spectral subtraction yang disebut q-spectral subtraction telah diturunkan. Metode ini telah terbukti efektif untuk meningkatkan performa sistem pengenalan ucapan terhadap noise. Akan tetapi, evaluasi metode ini untuk meningkatkan kualitas sinyal ucapan pada speech enhancement belum diinvestigasi. Pada paper ini, performa q-SS untuk speech enhancement akan diivestigasi. Dari hasil percobaan, ditemukan bahwa q-SS lebih baik dalam meningkatkan kualitas sinyal ucapan dibandingkan metode pengurangan spektral lain

The Application of Nonlinear Spectral Subtraction Method on Millimeter Wave Conducted Speech Enhancement

A nonlinear multiband spectral subtraction method is investigated in this study to reduce the colored electronic noise in millimeter wave (MMW) radar conducted speech. Because the over-subtraction factor of each Bark frequency band can be adaptively adjusted, the nonuniform effects of colored noise in the spectrum of the MMW radar speech can be taken into account in the enhancement process. Both the results of the time-frequency distribution analysis and perceptual evaluation test suggest that a better whole-frequency noise reduction effect is obtained, and the perceptually annoying musical noise was efficiently reduced, with little distortion to speech information as compared to the other standard speech enhancement algorithm

A Two-Step Adaptive Noise Cancellation System for Dental-Drill Noise Reduction

This paper introduces a two-step dental-drill Noise Reduction (NR) technique based upon the Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) system. The proposed technique is particularly designed for the NR headphone, which the patients should be wearing while having their dental treatment. In the first step, a tone-frequency extraction algorithm is proposed to estimate the main sinusoidal frequency of the dental-drill noise. The estimated sinusoidal signal is therefore removed significantly from the dental-drill noise by the use of the ANC system. Then, by using another ANC system and a high-pass filter in the second step, the residual high-frequency components of the dental-drill noise are eliminated sufficiently. Computer simulations based on recorded dental-drill sounds and real speech signals demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed two-step ANC system for dental-drill noise reduction, both in terms of the noise attenuation performance and the speech quality of the enhanced speech signal, as compared to the conventional two-microphone ANC system under ideal situation. Moreover, results of a subjective listening test with 15 listeners are also given to guarantee satisfied speech quality of the enhanced speech signal employing the proposed two-step dental-drill NR technique
