PEVD in wireless acoustic sensor networks

Latency-agnostic speech enhancement for wireless acoustic sensor networks using polynomial eigenvalue decomposition

This page provides listening examples for enhancement in wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs) using a polynomial eigenvalue decomposiion (PEVD)-based method. The examples are 1 realisation of the setup below, where 5 microphones and 1 speech source are placed randomly in a 4x5x3 m room with T60=0.4 s.

Performance in synchronised networks

Diffuse babble noise at -5 dB SNR.

Performance in asynchronous networks with latency

In this setup latency is applied to the microphones in the network in the range {0...50} ms such that one node always suffers the maximum possible latency (i.e. 50 ms) and the other nodes experience a random latency.

Diffuse babble noise at -5 dB SNR.
