Research and DSP Implementation of Speech Enhancement Technology Based on Dynamic Mixed Features and Adaptive Mask by Jie Yang, Yachun Tang

“…The dynamic features incorporate the log Mel power spectrum, Mel cepstral coefficients, and Multiresolution Auditory Cepstral Coefficients (MRACC) and capture the speech transient information by deriving the derivatives to comprehensively represent the nonlinear structure of speech and reduce distortion. To make the system improve the speech quality while reducing the speech distortion as much as possible, a soft mask that can be adaptively adjusted considering the signal-to-noise ratio information is proposed, which can be automatically adjusted according to the different speech signal-to-noise ratio information to obtain the mask value under the corresponding signal-to-noise ratio conditions, and phase difference information that can improve the speech intelligibility is incorporated in it. …”
