In this letter, we propose a spectro-temporal filtering algorithm for multichannel speech enhancement in the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) domain. Compared with the traditional multiplicative filtering technique, the proposed method takes account of interdependencies between components in adjacent frames and frequency bins. For spectro-temporal filtering, speech and noise power spectral density (PSD) matrices are estimated based on an extended formulation utilizing temporal and spectral correlations, and the parametric noise reduction filter based on these PSD matrices is applied to the input microphone array signal. Moreover, multichannel speech presence probabilities are also estimated within a unified framework. A number of experimental results show that the proposed spectro-temporal filtering method improves the performance of multichannel speech enhancement.
