Joint L1 − L2 Regularisation for Blind Speech Deconvolution. 18th Pacific-Rim Conference on Multimedia, Harbin, China, September 28-29, 2017
The purpose of blind speech deconvolution is to recover both
the original speech source and the room impulse response (RIR) from the
observed reverberant speech. This can be beneficial for speech intelligibility and speech perception. However, the problem is ill-posed, which often
requires additional knowledge to solve. In order to address this problem,
prior informations (such as the sparseness of signal or acoustic channel)
are often exploited. In this paper, we propose a joint
L1 − L2 regularisation based blind speech deconvolution method for a
single-input and single-output (SISO) acoustic system with a high level
of reverberation, where both the sparsity and density of the room impulse
responses (RIR) are considered, by imposing an L1 and L2 norm constraint
on their early and late part respectively. By employing an alternating
strategy, both the source signal and early part in the RIR can be
well reconstructed while the late part of the RIR can be suppressed
