Speech enhancement aims at improving the quality of speech in a noisy environment, also in applications such as speech recognition systems, hearing aids, teleconferencing, etc. Researchers have suggested various techniques to improve the quality of speech signal in a noisy environment. Kalman filtering technique showed better performance and was found remarkable in removing noise components. Therefore, this proposed method employs an improved version of the Kalman filter for the removal of noise in speech signals. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) developed Kalman filter is proposed for enhancing speech intelligibility and quality. The simulation results prove the recommended technique of enhancing speech signals. It is better in performance compared with Modulation Compressive Sensing, Compressed Sensing Frequency, Wiener filter, and Log Minimum Mean Square Error (LogMMSE) in terms of Short-Time Objective Intelligibility (STOI), Segmental Signal to Noise Ratio (SSNR) and Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) for different noise levels.
