ABSTRACT:
For equalizing a speech signal constituted by an observed sequence of successive input sound frames, which speech signal is liable to be affected by disturbances, the speech signal is modelled by means of a hidden Markov model and, at each instant t: equalization filters are constituted in association with the paths in the Markov sense at instant t; at least a plurality of the equalization filters are applied to the frames to obtain, at instant t, a plurality of filtered sound frame sequences and an utterance probability for each of the paths respectively associated with the equalization filters applied; the equalization filter corresponding to the most probable path in the Markov sense is selected; and the filtered frame supplied by the selected equalization filter is selected as the equalized frame.
