Original Abstract

In automatic speech recognition and speech modal analysis, good quality of input speech signal is often required. The hit rate of recognizers is lowered by degradation of speech quality due to the noise. Blind source separation can be used to enhance the speech signal as a part of preprocessing techniques. This paper presents a multi channel linear blind source separation method that can be applied even in underdetermined case (UDC) i.e. when the number of source signals is higher than the number of sensors. The experiments show that our system outperforms conventional time-frequency binary masking (TFBM) in both determined and underdetermined cases.
