  7. Abstract:
  8. The objective of this thesis is to develop a speech enhancement technique that can be applied for enhancement of speech degraded by additive background noise. The important aim of speech enhancement is to get better result after transmission at the receiver side. Additive noise such as White Gaussian Noise, Street Noise, Babble Noise, etc, is one of the speech enhancement problems degrading the intelligibility and quality of the signal. The important applications for speech enhancement are VOIP, Telephone services, mobile telephony, hands free voice control, communication between pilot cockpit, etc. Wiener filters are the mostly used techniques to reduce the uncorrelated additive noise with the minimum quantity of error in order to obtain the estimated signal. Frequency Warped method being applied to the FIR filter is useful in frequency perception. FIR Wiener filter is considered to combine with the warping method by an all-pole system. This algorithm implemented on the multichannel Wiener filter, which has two or more channels. It receives more than one noisy speech signal utilizing temporal, spectral and spatial characteristics of signal. The experimental implementation represents step by step to reduce the noise, taking advantage of Wiener filter to estimate the filter coefficients interested only the statistical information of the noise and signal using the method based on minimizing the error filters
