Mel-McNet: A Mel-Scale Framework for Online Multichannel Speech Enhancement
Yujie Yang, Bing Yang, Xiaofei Li
Online multichannel speech enhancement has been intensively studied recently. Though Mel-scale frequency is more matched with human auditory perception and computationally efficient than linear frequency, few works are implemented in a Mel-frequency domain. To this end, this work proposes a Mel-scale framework (namely Mel-McNet). It processes spectral and spatial information with two key components: an effective STFT-to-Mel module compressing multi-channel STFT features into Mel-frequency representations, and a modified McNet backbone directly operating in the Mel domain to generate enhanced LogMel spectra. The spectra can be directly fed to vocoders for waveform reconstruction or ASR systems for transcription. Experiments on CHiME-3 show that Mel-McNet can reduce computational complexity by 60% while maintaining comparable enhancement and ASR performance to the original McNet. Mel-McNet also outperforms other SOTA methods, verifying the potential of Mel-scale speech enhancement.
