Hi! So the parameter noise
should be a sample of the noise you are working with.
Let's say for example you want to do speech enhancement and you have some recordings, the mixture
is a piece of this recording where you have voice + noise while the noise
is a piece of this recording when you only have noise. The assumptions for MVDR is that the statistics of the noise are known, and to estimate the statistics of the noise you need a noise sample.
Does that make sense?
Thanks for your explanation. Forgive me for being a novice. I have another question. Can the piece of noise be multi-channel or a certain channel? Do we usually choose multi-channel noise pieces directly?
Yes multichannel directly as the beamformer estimates the spatial covariance of the noise, thus you need all the channels!
Thanks!
@Enny1991 Sorry to bother you. Should I prepare a noisy wav for each mixture wav?Or I just need one noise piece for all mixture wavs. And what will happen if I set the noisy zero like the mixture wav? Does it still have the enhancement for the mixture wav?
@MrSupW One noise piece is all you need if the noise is always the same (i.e. has the same spatial and frequency components). A noise with only zeroes will actually not allow the beamformer to be estimated, you need a sample fo the noise for the beamfoerm to work.
Hi: I want to apply beamforming for speech enhancement, but the param
noise
I don't understand. If I want to perform speech enhancement and I only havemixture
, what should be the parameternoise
in this case? For example:How do I set parameter
noise
? Thanks.
