--- res: bibo_abstract: - Multi-channel speech enhancement algorithms rely on a synchronous sampling of the microphone signals. This, however, cannot always be guaranteed, especially if the sensors are distributed in an environment. To avoid performance degradation the sampling rate offset needs to be estimated and compensated for. In this contribution we extend the recently proposed coherence drift based method in two important directions. First, the increasing phase shift in the short-time Fourier transform domain is estimated from the coherence drift in a Matched Filterlike fashion, where intermediate estimates are weighted by their instantaneous SNR. Second, an observed bias is removed by iterating between offset estimation and compensation by resampling a couple of times. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by speech recognition results on the output of a beamformer with and without sampling rate offset compensation between the input channels. We compare MVDR and maximum-SNR beamformers in reverberant environments and further show that both benefit from a novel phase normalization, which we also propose in this contribution.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Joerg foaf_name: Schmalenstroeer, Joerg foaf_surname: Schmalenstroeer foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=460 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jahn foaf_name: Heymann, Jahn foaf_surname: Heymann foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=9168 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Lukas foaf_name: Drude, Lukas foaf_surname: Drude foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=11213 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Christoph foaf_name: Boeddeker, Christoph foaf_surname: Boeddeker foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=40767 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Reinhold foaf_name: Haeb-Umbach, Reinhold foaf_surname: Haeb-Umbach foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=242 dct_date: 2017^xs_gYear dct_language: eng dct_title: Multi-Stage Coherence Drift Based Sampling Rate Synchronization for Acoustic Beamforming@ ...
