Journal ArticleDOI

Single-channel speech enhancement using spectral subtraction in the short-time modulation domain

TL;DR: The results indicate that modulation frame durations, provide a good compromise between different types of spectral distortions, namely musical noise and temporal slurring, and given a proper selection of modulation frame duration, the proposed modulation spectral subtraction does not suffer from musical noise artifacts typically associated with acoustic spectral subtracted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Speech enhancement using a minimum mean-square error short-time spectral modulation magnitude estimator

TL;DR: The proposed MMSE modulation magnitude estimator is shown to have better noise suppression than MMSE acoustic magnitude estimation, and improved speech quality compared to other modulation domain based enhancement methods considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of modulation magnitude and phase spectrum towards speech intelligibility

TL;DR: Results of these experiments show that both the modulation magnitude and phase spectra are important for speech intelligibility, and that significant improvement is gained by the inclusion of acoustic phase information.
Journal ArticleDOI

An improved speech transmission index for intelligibility prediction

TL;DR: The STI approach is revisited and a variation which processes the modulation envelope in short-time segments is proposed, requiring only an assumption of quasi-stationarity (rather than the stationarity assumption of STI) of the modulation signal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using STFT real and imaginary parts of modulation signals for MMSE-based speech enhancement

TL;DR: Results showed that the theoretical advantages of the RI-modulation framework did not translate to an improvement in overall quality, with both frameworks yielding very similar sounding stimuli, but a clear improvement in speech intelligibility was found.
