Abstract: In order to improve the speech enhancement effect of small microphone array, a better method was proposed for small-array speech enhancement by combining the Array Crosstalk Resistant Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ACRANC) method with the BeamForming (BF) method. Firstly, ACRANC subsystems were constructed to obtain multiple channels of enhanced speech signals. Then, the proposed Adaptive Mode Control (AMC) algorithm and the Delay And Sum (DAS) beamforming method were applied to the enhanced speech signals for further improving the enhancement effect of multi-channel speech signals. The computational complexity of the proposed method was estimated, and it was verified that the proposed method was able to be realized in real-time with common chips. Experimental results in actual environments show that the speech enhancement effect of the proposed method is higher than that of the ACRANC method and thus the method has some advantages.

摘要: 为了提高麦克风小阵的语音增强效果,将阵列抗串扰自适应噪声抵消(ACRANC)方法与波束形成(BF)方法相结合,提出了一种效果更好的小阵语音增强方法。首先,通过生成多个ACRANC子系统,获得多路增强语音信号;然后,通过所提的自适应模式控制(AMC)算法和延迟求和(DAS)波束形成方法进一步提高多路增强语音信号的增强效果。对提出的方法进行了计算复杂度估计,验证了所提方法可以通过普通芯片实时实现。实际环境下的实验结果也表明,所提方法的语音增强效果相较ACRANC方法有所提高,具有一定的优越性。
