Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper presents a two-stage soft-thresholding algorithm based on Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). In the first stage, noisy speech is decomposed into eight frequency bands and a specific noise variance is calculated for each one. Based on this variance, each band is denoised using soft-thresholding in DCT domain. The remaining noise is eliminated in the second stage through a time domain soft-thresholding strategy adapted to the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of the first stage signal. Significantly better SNR improvement and perceptual speech quality results prove the superiority of the proposed algorithm over recently reported techniques.
