NONLINEAR SPECTRAL SUBTRACTION BERBASIS TSALLIS STATISTICS UNTUK PENINGKATAN KUALITAS SINYAL UCAPAN

Abstract: The presence of the noise degrades the quality and the intelligibility of the speech signal and hence reduces the performance of speech based application. Spectral subtraction is a popular method to remove additive noise. However, it has a major shortcoming of introducing musical noise. Several variants of spectral subtraction have been proposed to tackle this issue. One of them is the introduction of oversubtraction factor in the spectral subtraction formula. This approach nonlinear spectral subtraction. However, this factor is decided heurestically. Tsallis statistics has found to introduce a nonlinear subtraction naturally. A new variant of spectral subtraction, which is called q-spectral subtraction, has been derived. q-SS has been found to be effective for improving the robustness of speech recognition performance against noise. However, the evaluation of this method for speech enhancement tasks has not been explored yet. In this paper, the performance of q-spectral subtraction for speech enhancement task is investigated. It is found that q-SS is better than other spectral subtraction methods in improving the quality of speech signals.
