Abstract

Quality of narrowband speech $(0{\sim}4kHz)$ can be enhanced by the bandwidth expansion technique, by which the high- band components are estimated. This paper proposes the bandwidth expansion method using the spline codebook based spectral folding. For the performance evaluation, the PESQ(Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality) scores are measured as the objective measurement In addition, the MOS (Mean Opinion Score) and the preference tests are performed as the subjective measurement. The results show our proposed method outperforms the existing spline based one.
