Audio declipping performance enhancement via crossfading
Some audio declipping methods produce waveforms that do not fully respect the physical process of clipping, which is why we refer to them as inconsistent. This letter reports what effect on perception it has if the solution by inconsistent methods is forced consistent by postprocessing. We first propose a simple sample replacement method, then we identify its main weaknesses and propose an improved variant. The experiments show that the vast majority of inconsistent declipping methods significantly benefit from the proposed approach in terms of objective perceptual metrics. In particular, we show that the SS PEW method based on social sparsity combined with the proposed method performs comparable to top methods from the consistent class, but at a computational cost of one order of magnitude lower.

Image to Image Translation based on Convolutional Neural Network Approach for Speech Declipping
Clipping, as a current nonlinear distortion, often occurs due to the limited dynamic range of audio recorders. It degrades the speech quality and intelligibility and adversely affects the performances of speech and speak…
