Abstract:

Aiming at solving the problems of the conventional minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer in practical applications, such as the sensibility of the steering vector mismatch and beam pattern distortion, a robust broadband MVDR beamforming method with low-latency by reconstructing covariance matrix is proposed and applied to speech enhancement with a linear microphone array in this paper. In this work, some important steps are optimized, and the main contribution is to consider the problem of correlation terms generated by the low latency. Firstly, the direction of arrival (DOA) is cor-rected and the steering vector is estimated based on the sparsity of the DOAs corresponding to the sound sources, which improves the ability of anti-mismatches in the steering vector. Secondly, the correlation terms between the sound sources and noise are estimated and eliminated by the Capon power within the eigen-subspace, and the indirect dominant method is used to eliminate the correlation terms between the sound sources, so that the covariance matrix is reconstructed to obtain a more robust MVDR beam former. Thirdly, the problem of white noise amplification at low frequency bins is analyzed, and a white noise gain (WNG) modification method is proposed to obtain a compromise between the interference suppression and WNG. In the experiments, the TIMIT corpus is used to generate the multi-channel speech data set, and the performance of the proposed method is evaluated with different DOAs and input signal to interference plus noise ratios (SINRs). The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively suppress the interferences and reduce the noise with strong robustness.& COPY; 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
