Abstract
One of the challenges for single-channel speech enhancement is to estimate the noise statistics from a signal containing both speech and noise. In this paper, we present a technique for eigendomain-based noise estimation that uses minimum statistics to control the adaptation rate along each eigenvector. We demonstrate that this technique gives robust noise tracking for non-stationary noise.
