Noise Power Spectral Density Estimation

Noise Power Spectral Density Estimation

Here we give Audio examples and the code for the proposed noise power spectral density estimator based on a speech presence probability estimator with fixed priors. The algorithm is proposed in the following papers:

Audio Examples

These audio examples compare single channel noise reduction using Martin's Minimum Statistics [1], the bias compensated MMSE approach [2], and the proposed SPP approach.
The proposed approach is computationally more efficient than the Minimum Statistics [1] or MMSE-BC [2] (approximately factor 4.5 in Matlab) and also requires less memory.
