Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a background estimator in voice activity detector for updating a background noise estimate for an input signal. The input signal for a current frame is received and it is determined whether the current frame of the input signal comprises non-noise. Further, an additional determination is performed whether the current frame of the non-noise input comprises noise by analyzing characteristics at least related to correlation and energy level of the input signal, and background noise estimate is updated if it is determined that the current frame comprises noise.
