An adaptive speech source separation algorithm under overcomplete-cases using Laplacian mixture modeling for mixture matrix estimation by adaptive EM-type algorithm in wavelet packet domain

Abstract

Speech process has benefited a great deal from the wavelet transforms. Wavelet packets decompose signals in to broader components using linear spectral bisecting. In this paper, mixtures of speech signals are decomposed using wavelet packets, the phase difference between the two mixtures are investigated in wavelet domain. In our method Laplacian Mixture Model (LMM) is defined. An Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is used for training of the model and calculation of model parameters which is the mixture matrix. And then we compare estimation of mixing matrix by LMM-EM with different wavelets. And then we use adaptive algorithm in each wavelet packet for speech separation and we see better results are obtained. Therefore individual speech components of speech mixtures are separated.
