摘要
A reverberation-time-aware deep-neural-network (DNN)-based multi-channel speech dereverberation framework is proposed to handle a wide range of reverberation times (RT60s). There are three key steps in designing a robust system. First, to accomplish simultaneous speech dereverberation and beamforming, we propose a framework, namely DNNSpatial, by selectively concatenating log-power spectral (LPS) input features of reverberant speech from multiple microphones in an array and map them into the expected output LPS features of anechoic reference speech based on a single deep neural network (DNN). Next, the temporal auto-correlation function of received signals at different RT60s is investigated to show that RT60-dependent temporal-spatial contexts in feature selection are needed in the DNNSpatial training stage in order to optimize the system performance in diverse reverberant environments. Finally, the RT60 is estimated to select the proper temporal and spatial contexts before feeding the log-power spectrum features to the trained DNNs for speech dereverberation. The experimental evidence gathered in this study indicates that the proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art signal processing dereverberation algorithm weighted prediction error (WPE) and conventional DNNSpatial systems without taking the reverberation time into account, even for extremely weak and severe reverberant conditions. The proposed technique generalizes well to unseen room size, array geometry and loudspeaker position, and is robust to reverberation time estimation error.
