Multichannel speech enhancement systems (MSES') have been widely utilized for diverse types of speech interface applications. A state-of-the-art MSES primarily utilizes multichannel minima-controlled recursive averaging for noise estimations and a parameterized multichannel Wiener filter for noise reduction. Many MSES' are implemented in the frequency domain, but they are computationally burdensome due to the numerous complex matrix operations involved. In this paper, a novel MSES intended to reduce the computational complexity with improved performance is proposed. The proposed system is implemented in the mel-filterbank domain using a frequency-averaging technique. Through a performance evaluation, it is verified that the proposed mel-filterbank MSES achieves improvements in the perceptual speech quality with a reduced level of computation compared to a conventional MSES.

We introduce the Rank M-type L (RM L)-filter to remove impulsive and speckle noise from corrupted images by means of use of DSP TMS320C6701.

In this paper we present a 3D adaptive nonlinear filter, namely the 3D adaptive CPWLN, based on the Canonical Piece Wise-Linear Network with an LMS L-filter type of adaptation. This filter is used to equalize nonlinear channel effect and remove impulsive/or mixed impulsive and Additive White Gaussian noise from video sequences. First, motion compensation is performed by a robust estimator. Then, a 3-D CPWLN LMS L-filter is applied. The overall combination is able to adequately remove undesired effects of communication channel and noise. Computer simulations on real-world image sequences are included. The algorithm yields promising results in terms of both objective and subjective quality of the restored sequence.
