Popis: A combined wideband speech enhancement method based on statistical model and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) was proposed.First,statistical model was used to eliminate the main noise component in noisy speech.Then,the residual noise was further suppressed by a post-processing module which is a speech enhancement algorithm with voice activity detection (VAD) based on EMD.The advantages of the two methods were combined effectively.The performance of the proposed method was evaluated under the standard of ITU-T G160.The experimental results indicate that the algorithm is more effective for improving the SNR in the different noise environments than classical statistical model approach.Meanwhile,in low SNR conditions,musical noise is reduced effectively,and the speech sounds more comfortable.
