Modular approach to speech enhancement with an application to speech coding

摘要

A speech coder separates input digitized speech into component parts on an interval by interval basis. The component parts include gain components, spectrum components and excitation signal components. A set of speech enhancement systems within the speech coder processes the component parts such that each component part has its own individual speech enhancement process. For example, one speech enhancement process can be applied for analyzing the spectrum components and another speech enhancement process can be used for analyzing the excitation signal components.
