Then, a Wiener-like postfiherer was developed to adaptively suppress interferences. Experimental results with a hands-free speech recognizer under various SNR and competing speakers settings show that nearly 69 % error reduction can be obtained with a two-channel small aperture microphone array against the conventional single microphone baseline system. Comparisons were made against traditional delay-and-sum and Griffiths-Jim adaptive beamforming techniques to further assess the effectiveness of this method.展开更多

Vector Taylor Series （VTS） approach has been used to compensate mismatches caused by additive noise and convolutive channel distortion in the cepstral domain, in this paper, the conventional VTS is extended by incorporating noise clustering into its EM iteration procedure, improving its compensation effectiveness under non-stationary noisy environments.
