Abstract

A new speech enhancement architecture using convolutive blind signal separation (CBSS) and subspace-based speech enhancement is presented. The spatial and spectral information are integrated to enhance the target speech signal and suppress both interference noise and background noise. Real-world experiments were carried out in a noisy office room. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed architecture.
