In reverberant conditions with a single speaker, each far-field microphone records a reverberant version of the same speaker signal at a different location. In over-determined conditions, where there are multiple microphones but only one…
Recursion is a fundamental concept in the design of filters and audio systems. In particular, artificial reverberation systems that use delay networks depend on recursive paths to control both echo density and the decay rate of modal…
Both reverberation and additive noises degrade the speech quality and intelligibility. Weighted prediction error (WPE) method performs well on the dereverberation but with limitations. First, WPE doesn't consider the influence of the…
