Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for removing acoustic noise from human speech, in which noise is removed irrespective of the type, magnitude or orientation of noise to restore a signal after the removal.SOLUTION: A system includes a microphone and a sensor connected to a processor. The microphone receives acoustic signals and a VAD supplies a signal of a binary 1 when speech (both voiced and unvoiced) is occurring and of a binary 0 in the absence of speech. The processor includes a denoising algorithm, and it generates transfer functions. The transfer functions include a transfer function generated in response to a determination that voicing information is not present in the acoustic signal received during a specified time period. Also, the transfer functions include a transfer function generated in response to a determination that voicing information is present in the acoustic signal during a specified time period. At least one denoised acoustic data stream is generated using the transfer functions.

The microphone receives an acoustic signal, and VAD (voice activity detection) provides a binary one when speech (voiced and unvoiced) is occurring, and a binary zero in the absence of speech. The processor includes denoising algorithms that generate transfer functions. The transfer functions include a transfer function generated in response to a determination that voicing information is absent in the received acoustic signal during a specified time period. The transfer functions are used to generate at least one denoised acoustic data stream.
Abstract:
A method and system are provided for acoustic noise removal from human speech, wherein noise is removed without respect to noise type, amplitude, or orientation. The system includes microphones and a voice activity detection (VAD) data stream coupled among a processor. The microphones receive acoustic signals and the VAD produces a signal including a binary one when speech (voiced and unvoiced) is occurring and a binary zero in the absence of speech. The processor includes denoising algorithms that generate transfer functions. The transfer functions include a transfer functions generated in response to a determination that voicing information is absent from the received acoustic signal during a specified time period. The transfer functions also include transfer functions generated in response to a determination that voicing information is present in the acoustic signal during a specified time period. At least one denoised acoustic data stream is generated using the transfer functions.
