Efficient a priori SNR estimation based on parameter adaptive spectral method

The a priori signal-to-noise (SNR) is one of the most important parameters in the short-time spectrum estimation techniques in speech enhancement. A new and convenient algorithm to estimate the priori SNR is involved in this paper. In this paper, the priori and posterior SNR of intra-frame are defined which can trace the variation of the a priori SNR of each frame better and can solve the problem of delay involved by the traditional approaches. Simulation shows that, the performance of the proposed algorithm is better than the traditional estimators in terms of log-spectral distance and the improvement segmental SNR, especially in the no stationary noise environments.
