Abstract
Adaptive beamforming and deconvolution techniques have shown effectiveness for reducing noise and reverberation. The minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer is the most widely used for adaptive beamforming, whereas multichannel linear prediction (MCLP) is an excellent approach for the deconvolution. How to solve the problem where the noise and reverberation occur together is a challenging task. In this paper, the MVDR beamformer and MCLP are effectively combined for noise reduction and dereverberation. Especially, the MCLP coefficients are estimated by the Kalman filter and the MVDR filter based on the complex Gaussian mixture model (CGMM) is used to enhance the speech corrupted by the reverberation with the noise and to estimate the power spectral density (PSD) of the target speech required by the Kalman filter, respectively. The final enhanced speech is obtained by the Kalman filter. Furthermore, a complexity reduction method with respect to the Kalman filter is also proposed based on the Kronecker product. Compared to two advanced algorithms, the integrated sidelobe cancellation and linear prediction (ISCLP) method and the weighted prediction error (WPE) method, which are very effective for removing reverberation, the proposed algorithm shows better performance and lower complexity.
