A multi-microphone array speech enhancement method using Generalized Sidelobe Canceller (GSC) beamforming with Combined Postfilter (CP) and Sparse Non-negative Matrix Factorization (SNMF) is proposed in this paper. GSC beamforming with CP and SNMF is implemented to reduce directional noise, diffuse noise, residual noise and to separate interferences in adverse environment. In this paper, the directional noise is reduced using GSC beamforming, whereas the diffuse noise in each subband is reduced with a combined postfilter using Unconstrained Frequency domain Normalized Least Mean Square (UFNLMS) algorithm. Finally, the residual noise at the output of CP is eliminated by SNMF which optimizes the noise. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using parameters like PESQ, SSNR, STOI, SDR and LSD. The noise reduction for four and eight microphones is compared and illustrated in spectrograms. The proposed method shows better performance in terms of intelligibility and quality when compared to the existing methods in adverse environments.
