Frequency Domain Variance-normalized Delayed Linear Prediction Algorithm

Introduction

This program is an implementation of variance-normalizied delayed linear prediction in time-frequency domain, which is aimed at speech dereverberation, known as weighted prediction error (WPE) method.

Requirements

MATLB Code
- signal processing toolbox
Python Code
- Python 3.x
- Numpy
- soundfile
- matplotlib (Optional)

Run the Demo

MATLAB code
- Just run the script file demo_fdndlp.m in MATLAB and the audio sample in wav_sample will be used.
- To use your own data, change the filepath and sample_name in demo_fdndlp.m.
- The configrations are gathered in config.m. Be careful to change the settings.

Python code

Usage:

python wpe.py [-h] [-o OUTPUT] [-m MIC_NUM] [-n OUT_NUM] [-p ORDER] filename

To use the default configrations and the given audio sample, run:
```
python wpe.py ../wav_sample/sample_4ch.wav
```
