摘要:
The invention includes a method, apparatus, and computer program to selectively suppress wind noise while preserving narrow-band signals in acoustic data. Sound from one or several microphones is digitized into binary data. A time-frequency transform is applied to the data to produce a series of spectra. The spectra are analyzed to detect the presence of wind noise and narrow band signals. Wind noise is selectively suppressed while preserving the narrow band signals. The narrow band signal is interpolated through the times and frequencies when it is masked by the wind noise. A time series is then synthesized from the signal spectral estimate that can be listened to. This invention overcomes prior art limitations that require more than one microphone and an independent measurement of wind speed. Its application results in good-quality speech from data severely degraded by wind noise.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a microphone system, comprising at least one directional microphone with a first directivity to obtain a first microphone signal, at least one directional microphone with a second directivity that is worse than the first directivity, in particular, an omni-directional microphone, to obtain a second microphone signal, a detection means configured to receive the first and the second microphone signals and to output a detection signal indicating whether non-acoustic perturbations, in particular, wind noise, in the first and/or the second microphone signals exceed a predetermined level and a signal processing means configured to output an output signal generated from the first microphone signal and/or the second microphone signal on the basis of the detection signal. The invention also relates to a method reducing non-acoustic perturbations in microphone signals comprising detecting an audio signal by at least one directional microphone of a first directivity to obtain a first microphone signal, detecting the audio signal by at least one directional microphone with a second directivity that is worse than the first directivity, in particular, an omni-directional microphone, to obtain a second microphone signal, determining whether non-acoustic perturbations, in particular, wind noise, that exceed a predetermined level are present in the first and/or the second microphone signal and outputting an output signal generated from the first microphone signal and/or the second microphone signal on the basis of the result of the determining whether non-acoustic perturbations that exceed a predetermined level are present in the first and/or the second microphone signal.

摘要:
A voice enhancement logic improves the perceptual quality of a processed voice. The voice enhancement system includes a noise detector and a noise attenuator. The noise detector detects a wind buffet and a continuous noise by modeling the wind buffet. The noise attenuator dampens the wind buffet to improve the intelligibility of an unvoiced, a fully voiced, or a mixed voice segment.
