Research Abstract

This study proposed simplified and specified methods of blindly estimating the room acoustic characteristics from observed reverberant speech signals, based on the concept of the modulation transfer function. Results of simulations revealed that the proposed approach could blindly estimate the room acoustic characteristics. Results of experiments also revealed that the proposed approach could be used to effectively estimate the room acoustic characteristics from reverberant speech signals in various room acoustics even if people were in the room.
