Abstract

Successful speech recognition in noisy environments for intelligent robots depends on the performance of preprocessing elements employed. We propose an architecture that effectively combines adaptive beamforming (ABF) and blind source separation (BSS) algorithms in the spatial domain to avoid permutation ambiguity and heavy computational complexity. We evaluated the structure and assessed its performance with a DSP module. The experimental results of speech recognition test shows that the proposed combined system guarantees high speech recognition rate in the noisy environment and better performance than the ABF and BSS system.
