Experiments on far-field multichannel speech processing in smart homes

2013Keyword
Abstract
In this paper, we examine three problems that rise in the modern, challenging area of far-field speech processing. The developed methods for each problem, namely (a) multichannel speech enhancement, (b) voice activity detection, and (c) speech recognition, are potentially applicable to a distant speech recognition system for voice-enabled smart home environments. The obtained results on real and simulated data, regarding the smart home speech applications, are quite promising due to the accomplished improvements made in the employed signal processing methods. © 2013 IEEE.
