Artificial bandwidth extension using deep neural network and $H^\infty$ sampled-data control theory
Artificial bandwidth extension is applied to speech signals to improve their quality in narrowband telephonic communication. For accomplishing this, the missing high-frequency (high-band) components of speech signals are recovered by utilizing a new extrapolation process based on sampled-data control theory and deep neural network (DNN). The $H^\infty$ sampled-data control theory helps in designing of a high-band filter to recover the high-frequency signals by optimally utilizing the inter-sample signals. Non-stationary (time-varying) characteristics of speech signals forces to use numerous high-band filters. Hence, we use a deep neural network for estimating the high-band filter information and a gain factor for a specified narrowband information of the unseen signal. The objective analysis is done on the TIMIT dataset and RSR15 dataset. Additionally, the objective analysis is performed separately for the voiced speech as well as for the unvoiced speech as generally needed in speech processing. Subjective analysis is done on the RSR15 dataset.
