A mask estimation based on spectral subtraction is used to determine the reliability of spectral components in a speech signal corrupted by noise. A cluster based reconstruction technique is used to remake the damaged spectrum. The verification performance was evaluated through a speaker verification experiment with signals corrupted by white noise under different signal to noise ratios. The results were promising since they reflected a relevant increase of speaker verification performance, applying MF approach with this combination of techniques.}, identifier = {05854198}, }
