Dual-channel noise reduction via sprase representations

An effective dual-channel noise reduction algorithm is proposed based on sparse representations. The algorithm is composed of the following steps. Firstly, overlapping patches sampled from two channels together instead of each channel one by one are trained to be a dictionary via K-SVD. Secondly, OMP(Orthogonal-Matching-Pursuit) reconstruction algorithm is applied to obtain the sparse coefficients of patches using the dictionary. Thirdly, the denoising speech can be obtained by the updated coefficients. Lastly, the above three steps are iterated to get clearer speech until some conditions are reached. Experimental results show that this algorithm performs better than that with single channel.
