Efficient ML-Estimator for Blind Reverberation Time Estimation [pdf]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
A new maximum likelihood (ML) estimator for the blind estimation of the reverberation time (RT) is derived. In contrast to previously proposed ML-based reverberation time estimators, the RT estimate is obtained by a simple closed-form expression, which leads to significant computational savings. Moreover, it is shown that the new estimator is unbiased and reaches the Crámer-Rao lower bound. The proposed RT estimator achieves a similar estimation accuracy but involves a significantly lower computational complexity compared to an ML-based RT estimator that scored among the best at the ACE Challenge.
