Abstract

Feature extraction of CASA system uses time continuity and channel similarity and makes correlogram of auditory elements for the use. In case of using feature extraction with cross correlation coefficient for channel similarity, it has much computational complexity in order to display correlation quantitatively. Therefore, this paper suggests feature extraction method using non-parametric correlation coefficient in order to reduce computational complexity when extracting the feature and tests to segregate target speech by CASA system. As a result of measuring SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) for the performance evaluation of target speech segregation, the proposed method shows a slight improvement of 0.14 dB on average over the conventional method.

CASA 시스템의 특징 추출은 시간의 연속성과 채널 간 유사성을 이용하여 청각 요소의 상관지도를 구성하여 사용한다. 채널 간 유사성을 교차 상관 계수를 이용하여 특징 추출 할 경우 상관성을 정량적으로 나타내기 위해 계산량이 많은 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 특징 추출 시 계산 량을 줄이기 위한 방법으로 비모수적 상관 계수를 이용한 특징 추출 방법을 제안하고 이를 CASA 시스템을 통하여 목적 음성을 분리하는 실험을 수행하였다. 목적 음성의 분리 성능을 평가하기 위하여 신호 대 잡음비를 측정한 결과, 제안 방식이 기존 방식에 비해 평균 0.14 dB의 미세한 성능 개선을 보였다.
