Abstract(in English) This report proposes a new noise-robust spectral estimation method called PHASOR. The new method is motivated by the effect of pitch fluctuation on noisy speech perception. The PHASOR estimates speech spectrum from a single pitch period of speech signal obtained by summing multiple pitch periods in a frame, whereas conventional method uses the whole signal in the frame. PHASOR suppresses the effect of additive noises. Speaker-dependent and speaker-independent phoneme recognition experiments demonstrate that the PHASOR greatly reduces the phoneme recognition error rate for noisy speech data. The PHASOR also outperforms conventional noise reduction methods, cepstral mean normalization and spectral subtraction.
