| Abstract | A frequent demand for noise suppression in digital hearing aids is speech enhancement in noisy multi-talker conditions. Whereas multi-microphone array-processing techniques employing a stationary or slowly varying directivity yield an improvement in intelligibility, binaural noise suppression algorithms using the two signals recorded at the left and right ears have not yet been shown to yield significant benefit in complex acoustical environments. We therefore explore the approach to integrate principles of auditory scene analysis in speech enhancement algorithms. From psychoacoustics it is known that common onsets, common amplitude modulation and sound source direction are among the important cues used for source separation by the human auditory system. However it is largely unknown how the 'binding' of different cues may work. A possible approach to tackle the binding problem is proposed in this paper. A new algorithm is presented, which performs statistical estimation of different sources by a state-space approach, which integrates temporal and frequency-specific features of speech. It is based on a sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) scheme and tracks magnitude spectra and direction on a frame-by-frame basis using binaural signals. This is achieved by integrating empirically measured high-dimensional statistics of speech and directional information from head-related transfer functions. Results for estimating sound source direction of a moving voice and spectral envelopes of two voices are shown. The results indicate that the algorithm is able to localize two superimposed sound sources and separate their spectral envelope on-line with adaption times of about 50 ms, which is much faster than typical blind source separation algorithms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
