Rayleigh mixture model-based hidden Markov modeling and estimation of noise in noisy speech signals

Sorensen, Karsten Vandborg and Andersen, Sören Vang LU (2007) In IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing 15(3). p.901-917
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new statistical model for noise periodogram modeling and estimation. The proposed model is a hidden Markov model (HMM) with a Rayleigh mixture model (RMM) in each state. For this new model, we derive an expectation-maxinuzation (EM) training algorithm and a minimum meansquare error (NIMSE) noise periodogram estimator. It is shown that when compared to the Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based HMM, the RMM-based HMM has less computationally complex EM iterations and gives a better fit of the noise periodograms when the mixture models has a low number of components. Furthermore, we propose a specialization of the proposed model, which is shown to provide better MMSE noise periodograrn estimates than any other of the... (More)
