Abstract:During the transition period from narrowband to wideband speech transmission services, Artificial Bandwidth Extension (ABE) algorithms are able to reduce the perceptual degradation of narrowband-transmitted speech signals by extending the audio bandwidth. In this paper, we analyze whether the resulting speech quality can be predicted reliably with instrumental models. Estimations from the new ITU standard POLQA, its predecessor WB-PESQ and the diagnostic DIAL model are compared to subjective listener judgments… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
