Real-time source separation on a field programmable gate array platform.
In this paper, we present a real-time implementation of the ideal binary-mask algorithm, which is a promising approach for enhancing speech intelligibility. Our implementation is hardware efficient, making it suitable for embedded biomedical devices such as hearing aids and cochlear implants. We tested our algorithm implementation on an FPGA platform, and produced results that verify that it effectively performs source separation with 25 µs latency.
