Complex Cepstrum Domain Filtering for Signal Reverberation Removal

Resource Overview

Complex Cepstrum Domain Filtering for Removing Signal Reverberation Components. This method employs complex cepstrum domain transformation and complex cepstrum filtering to eliminate reverberation components from single-channel speech signals, thereby enhancing speech quality through spectral analysis and inverse transformation techniques.

Detailed Documentation

Complex cepstrum domain filtering serves as an effective method for removing reverberation components from speech signals, consequently improving speech quality. This technique is implemented through complex cepstrum domain transformation and complex cepstrum filtering operations. The complex cepstrum domain transformation involves converting the speech signal into the complex logarithmic domain using Fourier transforms and logarithmic operations, while complex cepstrum filtering applies digital filters in the complex cepstral domain to suppress reverberation components. By employing this approach, we can effectively eliminate reverberation in speech signals, resulting in clearer and more intelligible audio output. The implementation typically involves computing the complex cepstrum using FFT, applying liftering operations to separate vocal tract and excitation components, and performing inverse transformations to reconstruct the dereverberated signal.
