Noise reduction scheme for speech recognition in mobile devices

Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient noise reduction scheme for speech recognition in mobile devices. Due to the limited capacity of mobile devices, the speech recognition system requires a noise reduction module processed with low computational intensity. For noise reduction in mobile devices, the proposed approach directly utilizes packet data estimated by a speech coder. In particular, we apply pitch information for comb filtering, a well-known noise reduction method. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
