Speech enhancement using super gauss mixture model of speech spectral amplitude

Most speech enhancement algorithms are derived by applying gauss hypothesis based on decor related speech samples. And recently it is accepted that the real pdf of speech spectral amplitude lies between the Laplace and Gamma amplitude approximation. This paper presents a supper gauss mixture model of speech spectral amplitude which can accurately approximates real speech spectral amplitude distribution. With this model, a new speech enhancement algorithm on the basis of MMSE estimator is derived. Simulations show that this algorithm has a better noise reduction performance and improve output SNR in the sense of speech segmentation.
