Abstract :
In this paper, we derive a new assessment measure, which is suitable for harsh noise like musical noise. The measure uses an image processing technique and a filter based on auditory loudness. The aim of the measure is to evaluate the harshness of noise without subjective experiments. The effectiveness of the proposed measure is shown with experiments on real speech data.
