Blind Room Impulse Response Identification via Reverberant Speech Spectrum Reconstruction
About
This paper proposes Rec-RIR for blind room impulse response (RIR) identification. Based on the convolutive transfer function (CTF) approximation, we propose a multi-task deep neural network, which sequentially removes noise and reverberation from speech recording, and estimates the CTF filter by reverberant speech spectrum reconstruction. Subsequently, a pseudo intrusive measurement process is employed to convert the CTF filter into RIR by simulating a common intrusive RIR measurement procedure. Experimental results demonstrate that Rec-RIR achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in blind RIR identification.
