Blind single-channel suppression of late reverberation based on perceptual reverberation modeling

Abstract

A blind method for suppressing late reverberation from speech and audio signals is presented. The proposed technique operates both on the spectral and on the sub-band domains employing a single input channel. At first, a preliminary rough clean signal estimation is required and for this, any standard technique may be applied; however here the estimate is obtained through spectral subtraction. Then, an auditory masking model is employed in sub-bands to extract the reverberation masking index (RMI) which identifies signal regions with perceived alterations due to late reverberation. Utilizing a selective signal processing technique only these regions are suppressed through sub-band temporal envelope filtering based on analytical expressions. Objective and subjective measures indicate that the proposed method achieves significant late reverberation suppression for both speech and music signals over a wide range of reverberation time (RT) scenarios.
