Abstract
For estimating the relative transfer function (RTF) of a speaker from noisy multi-microphone recordings, several statistical methods have been proposed. The estimation accuracy is different over frequencies, which mostly depends on the frequency-dependent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Provided that the low-SNR frequencies are identified, the corresponding values of the estimated RTF can be replaced through interpolation using the frequencies with high SNR. In this study, we explore interpolation techniques based on the sparse reconstruction of an incomplete RTF which is obtained when low-SNR values are neglected. Compared to previous attempts where the approximate sparsity of the time-domain representation of RTF (relative impulse response) is exploited, in this paper, we use learned sparse dictionaries trained on dense measurements of RTFs within a confined area of the target speaker. These measurements are obtained from the recently released MIRaGe database acquired in a real room.
