Iterative phase reconstruction of wiener filtered signals.

This paper deals with phase estimation in the framework of underdetermined blind source separation, using an estimated spectrogram of the source and its associated Wiener filter. By thresholding the Wiener mask, two domains are defined on the spectrogram : a confidence domain where the phase is kept as the phase of the mixture, and its complement where the phase is updated with a projection similar to the widely-used Griffin and Lim technique. We show that with this simple technique, the choice of parameters results in a simple trade-off between distortion and interference. Experiments show that this technique brings significant improvements over the classical Wiener filter, while being much faster than other iterative methods. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
