In this paper, a new speech enhancement method using level adapted wavelet packet is presented. First, we propose a level adapted wavelet packet to alleviate a drawback of the conventional node adapted one in noisy environment. Next, we suggest an adaptive noise estimation method at each node on level adapted wavelet packet tree. Then, for more accurate noise component subtraction, we propose a new estimation method of spectral subtraction weight. Finally, we present a modified spectral subtraction method. The proposed method is evaluated on various noise conditions: speech babble noise, F-l6 cockpit noise, factory noise, pink noise, and Volvo car interior noise. For an objective evaluation, the SNR test was performed. Also, spectrogram test and a very simple listening test as a subjective evaluation were performed.

In this paper, we have analyzed the performance enhancement of OFDM/QPSK-DMR(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing/Quadrature Phase Shift Keying Modulation-Digital Microwave Radio)system using BL-PSF(Band Limited-Pulse Shaping Filter) over the microwave channel. For performance enhancement, we apply the one-tap adaptive equalizer for OFDM/QPSK-DMR system and compare with the BER performance of single carrier DMR system. Computer simulations confirm that the OFDM/QPSK-DMR system using one-tap adaptive equalizer has the same BER performance for the single carrier DMR system.

In man-machine communication by speech under the noisy environment, the quality of speech may be degraded severely for the machine to recognize correctly. Especially when the corrupting noise occupies the same band as the speech, the conventional fixed filters cannot filter out the noise effectively. In recent, to resolve such a problem adaptive noise canceller (ANC) is frequently used, which is based upon adaptive filters. The Adaptive recursive filters perform better than adaptive nonrecursive filters due to the added poles, but the stability may be severely threatened. In this paper an ANC system employing the adaptive recursive filter is proposed to enhance the speech corrupted by noise. And the stability of the adaptive recursive filter is guaranteed by employing the adaptive compensator.

본 논문에서는 음성검출의 성능을 향상시킬 목적으로 정합 필터를 이용한 음성향상 전처리 과정을 통하여 SNR을 개선한 후, 이를 LLR(Log Likelihood Ratio) 검사에 의한 최적 결정방법을 적용하여 확률적인 모델을 기준으로 하는 향상된 음성검출 방법을 제안한다. 또한 기존의 음성검출 방법들에서는 제시되지 않았던 문턱값 갱신 알고리즘을 제안하며, 이 방법을 통해서 기존의 방법들에서 성능이 좋지 않았던 낮은 SNR 환경에서도 음성검출을 할 수 있게 되었다. 마지막으로 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 이미 상용화되어 널리 이용중인 G.729B(ITU-TG.729 Annex B)의 음성검출 결과와 비교를 통해서 제안한 음성검출 방법의 성능의 우수성을 검증하며, 실제적인 환경에도 적용이 가능함을 보인다.

This paper focuses on a priori signal to noise ratio (SNR) estimation method for the speech enhancement. There are many researches for speech enhancement with several ambient noise cancellation methods. The method based on spectral subtraction (SS) which is widely used in noise reduction has a trade-off between the performance and the distortion of the signals. So the need of adaptive method like an estimated a priori SNR being able to making a high performance and low distortion is increasing. The decision directed (DD) approach is used to determine a priori SNR in noisy speech signals. A priori SNR is estimated by using only the magnitude components and consequently follows a posteriori SNR with one frame delay. We propose a modified a priori SNR estimator and the weighted rational transfer function for speech enhancement with wind noises. The experimental result shows the performance of our proposed estimator is better Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality scores (PESQ, ITU-T P.862) compare to the conventional DD approach-based systems and different noise reduction methods.

음성 품질의 향상은 통신 분야의 주요 관심사이다. 본 논문에서는 VoIP(Voice-over-IP) 수신부에서의 배경잡음 및 패킷손실에 강인한 음질향상 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식에서는 하이브리드 마르코프 체인 기반 네트워크 지터추정, 추정된 지터를 이용한 적응적 플레이아웃 스케줄링, 그리고 진폭 및 위상 복원 기반의 음성 향상 방식 등을 결합하여 IP 네트워크를 통해 VoIP 수신부에 도착하는 음성신호의 품질을 향상시킨다. 실험결과는 제안된 방식이 송신부의 인코딩 전에 음성신호에 추가된 잡음을 제거하고 불안정한 네트워크 환경에서 양질의 음성을 제공하는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

This paper proposes a method that reduces the flickering effect caused by A-GLG (Adaptive Gray-Level Grouping) during video contrast enhancement. Of the GLG series, A-GLG shows the best contrast enhancement performance. The GLG series is based on histogram grouping. Histogram grouping is calculated differently between the continuous frames with a similar histogram and causes a subtle change in the transformation function. This is the reason for flickering effect when the video contrast is enhanced by A-GLG. To reduce the flickering effect caused by A-GLG, the proposed method calculates a modified transformation function. The modified transformation function is calculated using a previous and current transformation function applied with a weight separately. The proposed method was compared with A-GLG for flickering effect reduction and video contrast enhancement. Through the experimental results, the proposed method showed not only a reduced flickering effect, but also video contrast enhancement.

In this paper, we propose a sharpening approach which is based on unsharp masking through the adaptive windowing. This adaptive windowing changes the window size of the low-pass filter which is used in unsharp mask for reducing the halo artifacts.
