Automatic talker activity labeling for co-channel talker interference suppression
Summary
Summary
This paper describes a speaker activity detector taking co-channel speech as input and labeling intervals of the input as target-only, jammer-only, or two-speaker (target+jammer). The algorithms applied were borrowed primarily from speaker recognition, thereby allowing us to use speaker-dependent test-utterance-independent information in a front-end for co-channel talker interference suppression. Parameters...
Microburst detection with airport surveillance radars
Summary
Summary
With the advent of fully digital signal processing for new airport surveillance radars (ASR-9), terminal air traffic control displays will be largely free of clutter from precipitation and ground scatterers [1,2]. Early acceptance testing of the ASR-9, however, indicated that working air traffic controllers actually made considerable use of the...
Speech-state-adaptive simulation of co-channel talker interference suppression
Summary
Summary
A co-channel talker interference suppression system processes an input waveform containing the sum of two simultaneous speech signals, referred to as the target and the jammer, to produce a waveform estimate of the target speech signal alone. This paper describes the evaluation of a simulated suppression system performing ideal suppression...
A block diagram compiler for a digital signal processing MIMD computer
Summary
Summary
A Block Diagram Compiler (BOC) has been designed and implemented for converting graphic block diagram descriptions of signal processing tasks into source code to be executed on a Multiple Instruction Stream - Multiple Data Stream (MIMD) array computer. The compiler takes as input a block diagram of a real-time DSP...
Mixed-phase deconvolution of speech based on a sine-wave model
Summary
Summary
This paper describes a new method of deconvolving the vocal cord excitation and vocal tract system response. The technique relies on a sine-wave representation of the speech waveform and forms the basis of an analysis-synthesis method which yields synthetic speech essentially indistinguishable from the original. Unlike an earlier sinusoidal analysis-synthesis...
Experience with speech communication in packet networks
Summary
Summary
The integration of digital voice with data in a common packet-switched network system offers a number of potential benefits, including reduced systems cost through sharing of switching and transmission resources, flexible internetworking among systems utilizing different transmission media, and enhanced services for users requiring access to both voice and data...
Frequency sampling of the short-time Fourier-transform magnitude for signal reconstruction
Summary
Summary
Unique recovery of a signal from the magnitude (modulus) of the Fourier transform has been of long-standing interest in image and optical processing in which Fourier-transform phase is lost or difficult to measure. We investigate an alternative problem of recovering a signal from the Fourier-transform magnitude of overlapping regions of...
The Experimental Integrated Switched Network - a system-level network test facility
Summary
Summary
An Experimental Integrated Switched Network (EISN) has been developed to provide a system-level testbed for the evaluation of advanced communications networking techniques, including survivable network routing algorithms using a mix of transmission media, for application in the Defense Switched Network (DSN). EISN includes five CONUS sites linked by a wideband...
Implementation of 2-D digital filters by iterative methods
Summary
Summary
A two-dimensional (2-D) rational filter can be implemented by an iterative computation involving only finite-extent impulse response (FIR) filtering operations, provided a certain convergence criterion is met. In this paper, we generalize this procedure so that the convergence criterion is satisfied for any stable 2-D rational transfer function. One formulation...
Signal reconstruction from the short-time Fourier transform magnitude
Summary
Summary
In this paper, a signal is shown to be uniquely represented by the magnitude of its short-time Fourier transform (STFT) under mild restrictions on the signal and the analysis window of the STFT. Furthermore, various algorithms are developed which reconstruct signal from appropriate samples of the STFT magnitude. Several of...
