Re: Speech Quality Assessment Recent Developments



Dear All,

Currently ITU-T is running a benchmark called POLQA (Perceptual
Objective Listening Quality Assessment) from which a new standard will
be derived as the follow up of PESQ (Rec. P.862).
Major new items:
1) Superwideband speech (max 14 kHz audio bandwith)
2) Impact of a wide range of new types of distortions
3) Impact of global play back level

Some of my recent work contains new ideas, see references below.

Hello List,

I am looking for information or pointers to any major developments in
the area of objective speech quality assessment in recent years i.e.
2007-2009.

Also, if anyone knows the latest plans of the ITU on this topic I would
be most grateful if that information could be passed on.

Thanks in advance.

Dermot.
