    摘要: Embodiments of a system and method for adapting a phase difference-based noise reduction system are generally described herein. In some embodiments, spatial information associated with a first and second audio signal are determined, wherein the first and second audio signals including a target audio inside a beam and noise from outside the beam. A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) associated with the audio signals is estimated. A mapping of phase differences to gain factors is adapted for determination of attenuation factors for attenuating frequency bins associated with noise outside the beam. Spectral subtraction is performed to remove estimated noise from the single-channel signal based on a weighting that affects frequencies associated with a target signal less. Frequency dependent attenuation factors are applied to attenuate frequency bins outside the beam to produce a target signal having noise reduced.

    摘要: There is provided a sound enhancement technique that picks up sounds with a sufficiently large SN ratio, achieves a sharper directivity in a desired direction than was possible by conventional techniques while being capable of following sounds from any directions, and is capable of enhancing sounds according to distances from a microphone array. The technique uses transfer functions a i,g of sounds that comes from each of one or more positions/directions that are assumed to be sound sources arrives at each microphone to obtain a filter for a position that is a target of sound enhancement, where i denotes a direction and g denotes a distance for identifying each of the positions. Each of the transfer functions a i,g is represented by the sum of a transmission characteristic of a direct sound that directly arrives from the position determined by the direction i and the distance g and a transmission characteristic of one or more reflected sounds produced by reflection of the direct sound off an reflective object and arrive. A filter that corresponds to the position that is the target of sound enhancement is applied to frequency-domain signals transformed from M picked-up sounds picked up with M microphones to obtain a frequency-domain output signal.
