The problem started with speech detection. Speech sections are detected well. However, once in a while non-speech sections are also marked as speech. The root was finally traced down to microphone static noise. Then I pulled the microphone out. Our system still records noise. To isolate the problem, I wrote a small app just to open the device and record raw samples, calls speex_denoise()

That's might be speex_denoise() is trying to do already, based on the fact that if noise is present in speech signal, the former gets suppressed to a certain extend. Also, I noticed after suppression, the short, noisy attack - speex_denoise() have to be doing some kind of profiling. I've looked at a few offline denoise() solutions. They all involve profile building. A real-time

Hi, I'm not sure how speex_denoise() works, but my solution to this problem is fairly straightforward and works well in practice (in a simple VoIP program.) Note that I am also an amateur and am making up some terminology here... but I've tested my approach on several noisy environments with low-quality mics and it does work well. Problem: There's usually annoying noise present

Understand that it's a *guess*. If this fixes or at least betters the situation, you're going to need to find a legit way to insulate these cards, or to switch cards. If it's for customers, I should hope you wouldn't be using enamelled aluminum foil. :D -----Original Message----- From: Tongbiao Li [mailto:tli@viack.com] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 11:20 AM To:

Thanks for the speedy response and detailed, enlightening explanation. Now I understand where the problem is, and will try out your suggestions just to further confirm my conjecture. When I am done, I have to take the foil out, though. This is a product for our customers to use, and although we've got budget for mulffing every sound card we developers use, most likely the company

Take what I say with a grain of salt: I'm an amateur and haven't actually touched Speex in any way, yet. I'm just sort of passing on personal belief from personal experience. Also, check and make sure that the microphone line is insulated. There are a number of problems with sound cards picking up interference from the host machine. The wires that run between ICs on a card

I'm not sure you'd have much success in trying to make a generic profile to fit the "typical noisy PC" since PC configurations vary so much. Consider an integrated AC97 codec vs. the mic input on an SB Live!/Audigy Live!Drive, or whether or not the input from the CD-ROM audio is muted, or what noisy devices might be situated near the mic. It's nice to be able to get

This is probably due to the AGC (Adaptive Gain Control) that's integrated with the denoiser. I'll try adding an option to

Hi all, as in subject, speex_preprocess inject noise in my data. Someone can help ? Here's the way that i'm using: #define NN 160 /* 20msec di audio */ #define AUDIO_SAMPLERATE 8000 spx_int16_t TEMP_Buffer[NN]; speex_pp_state = speex_preprocess_state_init(NN,AUDIO_SAMPLERATE); c = denoise; speex_preprocess_ctl(speex_pp_state, SPEEX_PREPROCESS_SET_DENOISE,&c); c = agc;

This works really well for white noise reduction. However what I've noticed was the amplitudes of normal speech samples also get reduced. Is this something by design, or is there a way to automatically recover the original speech sample volumes ? <p>Thanks. <p>Tongbiao <p>-----Original Message----- From: Jean-Marc Valin [mailto:jean-marc.valin@hermes.usherb.ca] Sent:

Hello, I'm currently using a tool that provides a Loess fitting, but I obtained results that are slightly different from those provided by R implementation of the Loess. That's why I would like to know if you could give me a source (bibliography or web) that explains in a clear way each step of the algorithm, with the possible options to choose, etc.. in order for me to understand those

I'd say check the result just after denoising (try without denoising too). Also make sure you've got the right number of samples and all. I can't say much with the info you're giving me.

Hi all, i use speex preprocessor features in this way: =================================== #define NN 160 /* 20msec di audio */ ... int tbc=0,c,d,ret; spx_int16_t TEMP_Buffer[NN]; char DLECODE; /* Inizializza il preprocessore Speex se non inizializzato */ if(Modem->speex_pp_state == NULL) { Modem->speex_pp_state = speex_preprocess_state_init(NN,AUDIO_SAMPLERATE); }

Unlivable. I fix it. I forgot the speex_preprocess(m_pPreprocess, buf, NULL) need to do enough samples too. Tks a lot! And speex_preprocess_ctl(preprocess, SPEEX_PREPROCESS_SET_DEREVERB, &tmp); f=.4; speex_preprocess_ctl(preprocess, SPEEX_PREPROCESS_SET_DEREVERB_DECAY, &f); f=.3; speex_preprocess_ctl(preprocess,

The 1.1.x Speex versions feature a denoiser that I'm a big fan of. It's adaptive and will filter out pretty much anything that is fairly stable over time while preserving the quality of the speech very well. You will need to make the following calls to set it up and use it: speex_preprocess_state_init speex_preprocess_ctl with SPEEX_PREPROCESS_SET_DENOISE speex_preprocess You can

As I understand it, there are two separate ways to get VAD information from Speex: 1) Using the encoder. 2) Using speex_preprocess(). I present the following observations from an application developer's perspective. They may be wrong, in which case I would appreciate corrections. - The two VAD systems are implemented differently. - speex_preprocess()'s VAD provides more accurate

Hi, Here are the next two patches for the data export. speex_get_psd should be applied after speex_get_agc_gain (sent in previous mail). It allows applications to get the power spectrum for the signal and the noise estimate. speex_get_prob should be applied last. It allows fetching the speech probability of the current frame (the value that the _PROB_START and _PROB_CONTINUE parameters are
