摘要： An adaptive signal processing system eliminates noise from input signals while retaining desired signal content, such as speech. The resulting low noise output signal delivers improved clarity and intelligibility. The low noise output signal also improves the performance of subsequent signal processing systems, including speech recognition systems. An adaptive beamformer in the signal processing system consistently updates beamforming signal weights in response to changing microphone signal conditions. The adaptive weights emphasize the contribution of high energy microphone signals to the beamformed output signal. In addition, adaptive noise cancellation logic removes residual noise from the beamformed output signal based on a noise estimate derived from the microphone input signals.

摘要： A vehicular voice control system includes a first and a second microphone located on a vehicle external to a vehicle cabin. The microphones receive audio signals from an audio source external to the vehicle and generate microphone output signals. A signal processor processes the microphone output signals, generates a processed signal, and determines a location of the audio source. A speech recognition system receives the processed signal and obtains a recognition result. A controller controls one or more vehicular elements based on the recognition result and the determined location of the audio source.

摘要： A speech processing device includes an automotive device that filters data that is sent and received across an in-vehicle bus. The device selectively acquires vehicle data related to a user settings or adjustments. An interface acquires the selected vehicle data from in-vehicle sensors in response to a user's articulation of a first code phrase. A memory stores the selected vehicle data with unique identifying data associated with the user and establishes a connection between the selected vehicle data and the user when a second code phrase is articulated. A data interface provides access to the selected vehicle data and stored relationship data and enables the processing of the data to customize the in-vehicle system. The data interface is responsive to the user's articulation of a third code phrase to process the selected vehicle data that enables the setting or adjustment of the in-vehicle system.

摘要： The invention provides a computer-implemented method for determining a time delay for time delay compensation of a microphone signal from a microphone array in a beamformer arrangement. For a given time, an instantaneous estimate of a position of a wanted sound source and/or of a direction of arrival of a signal originating from the wanted sound source is determined. The computer system then determines whether the instantaneous estimate deviates from a preset estimate of a position of the wanted sound source and/or of a direction of arrival of a signal originating from the wanted sound source according to a predetermined criterion. The predetermined criterion comprises a check whether the instantaneous estimate deviates from the preset estimate by at least a predetermined deviation threshold. If the predetermined criterion is fulfilled, the instantaneous estimate for the given time is set by the computer system as the preset estimate, and the computer system determines the time delay for time delay compensation of the microphone signal based on the instantaneous estimate.

摘要： A microphone compensation system responds to changes in the characteristics of individual microphones in an array of microphones. The microphone compensation system provides a communication system with consistent performance despite microphone aging, widely varying environmental conditions, and other factors that alter the characteristics of the microphones. Furthermore, lengthy, complex, and costly measurement and analysis phases for determining initial settings for filters in the communication system are eliminated.
