Successive Adaptive Harmonic Filtering for Separating Voice Sources Using Single-microphone Input

Abstract:Blind source separation has been one of the most popular speech research areas recently. In this work we investigate the feasibility of separating multi-source signals in a single-microphone input scenario. By exploiting the harmonic structure of voiced speech signals, a successive adaptive harmonic filtering system is proposed and successfully tested to separate two mixed voice sources blindly.
