      Abstract (4723) HTML (0) PDF 289.75 K (3872) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Noise power spectrum estimation is a fundamental component of speech enhancement. An improved weighted noise power estimation algorithm is proposed in the paper by taking into account the correlation of inter-frequency in the noisy speech. Because of calculating the weighting factor from the time domain and frequency domain smoothed noisy speech, the new presented algorithm can distinguish noise and weak speech more accurately, especially in the weak speech regions following strong speech. The tracking delay and the overestimates are all considerably reduced compared to competitive noise tracking algorithms. Objective experimental results and a subjective comparison show that the improved noise estimation algorithm is preferred to other noise estimation algorithms when integrated in speech enhancement.

      Abstract (4566) HTML (0) PDF 264.29 K (4043) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Dynamic Power Management(DPM) is a design methodology aiming at reducing power consumption of electronic systems by performing selective shutdown of idle system resources. How to improve predictive accuracy is the main problem needed to be solved in DPM policy based prediction. With the assumption of the relevancy among the pieces of idle time,the exponential average policy Under is prevalently used can not predict accurately when abnormal error like a sudden long or short idle period happens. In this paper, the authors propose a new adaptive DPM predictive policy basing on improved exponential average model and mathematic definition of abnormal error. The policy would self-adjust to get higher predictive accuracy if sudden error occurs. The new policy excels the existed ones in prediction accuracy.
