Single Microphone Speech Enhancement Using General Kalman Filter and Estimate Maximization Frame work
Keywords:
General Kalman Filter, Speech Enhancement, Estimate maximization.Abstract
The adverse effects of noise from various sources on speech signal are aimed to minimize in every speech
enhancement algorithm. Non-stationary behavior of both speech and noise becomes a challenging problem. In this paper
we present a method for speech enhancement which uses General Kalman Filter .GKF is one of the forms derived from
popular kalman filter mostly used in echo cancellation application. An Estimate maximization (EM)frame work
accompanied with GKF deals effectively with noise and its effects. The simulation results show that proposed method is
dominant over some popular algorithm’s.
