Combination of two-channel spectral subtraction and adaptive wiener post-filtering for noise reduction and dereverberation

In this contribution a novel structure for the enhancement of speech signals disturbed by acoustic noise is presented which is based on Spectral Subtraction. The Spectral Subtraction technique is combined with a novel estimator for the noise power spectrum which takes advantage of the employment of a second microphone. Due to the extension to a two-microphone system the Spectral Subtraction can be used to reduce realistic, non-stationary noise sources. Additionally, the performance of the system is further improved by the application of a post filter adapted according to Wiener filter techniques. As a result, the proposed speech enhancement system provides a significant suppression of noise in realistic situations as well as a reduction of room reverberation.
