This article fills the gap between the growing interest in signal processing based on Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and the new application of enhancing speech captured by microphones on a drone. In this context, the quality of the target sound is degraded significantly by the strong ego-noise from the rotating motors and propellers. We present the first work that integrates single-channel and multi-channel DNN-based approaches for speech enhancement on drones. We employ a DNN to estimate the ideal ratio masks at individual time-frequency bins, which are subsequently used to design three potential speech enhancement systems, namely single-channel ego-noise reduction (DNN-S), multi-channel beamforming (DNN-BF), and multi-channel time-frequency spatial filtering (DNN-TF). The main novelty lies in the proposed DNN-TF algorithm, which infers the noise-dominance probabilities at individual time-frequency bins from the DNN-estimated soft masks, and then incorporates them into a time-frequency spatial filtering framework for ego-noise reduction. By jointly exploiting the direction of arrival of the target sound, the time-frequency sparsity of the acoustic signals (speech and ego-noise) and the time-frequency noise-dominance probability, DNN-TF can suppress the ego-noise effectively in scenarios with very low signal-to-noise ratios (e.g. SNR lower than -15 dB), especially when the direction of the target sound is close to that of a source of the ego-noise. Experiments with real and simulated data show the advantage of DNN-TF over competing methods, including DNN-S, DNN-BF and the state-of-the-art time-frequency spatial filtering.
