In the actual driving process, the driver is in a complex noise interference environment of the vehicle's own mechanical vibration, the passenger dialogue inside the vehicle, and the sound of other equipment.In order to improve driving efficiency and ensure driving safety, the operation of the vehicle equipment is precisely controlled by the voice control system.Aiming at the residual music noise in traditional spectral subtraction, the improved multi-window spectrum estimation algorithm is applied to improve the estimation accuracy of a priori SNR (signal-to-noise ratio).The experimental results show that the algorithm significantly eliminates the music noise.In the case of low SNR, the signal-to-noise ratio gain is improved by 0.64dB.The waveform similarity and speech naturalness are improved after speech enhancement.Furthermore, the current single-microphone voice de-reverberation technology only takes advantage of the information of time domain and frequency domain with the spatial information limitedly utilized, resulting in a difficulty of achieving a better de-reverberation effect.In light of these insufficiencies, we combine the de-reverberation technique with complex cepstrum blind deconvolution, and a simulation experiment is carried out according to the subjective and objective evaluation indexes of the waveform and the effect of de-reverberated voice, proving that the optimized algorithm improves the intelligibility of the de-reverberated voice.
