Abstract :
CELP coders commonly use line spectral pairs (LSP) to represent linear prediction parameters, giving stable filters and efficient coding. However, manipulation of LSPs can alter frequencies within the represented signals. This paper describes two computationally efficient LSP-based processing methods designed to enhance the intelligibility of speech degraded by acoustic interference
