    摘要: Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media for dereverberation of a multimicrophone signal combine use of a directionally selective processing operation (e.g., beamforming) with an inverse filter trained on a separated reverberation estimate that is obtained using a decorrelation operation (e.g., a blind source separation operation).

    摘要: A method for improving the quality of a speech signal extracted from a noisy acoustic environment is provided. In one approach, a signal separation process is associated with a voice activity detector. The voice activity detector is a two-channel detector, which enables a particularly robust and accurate detection of voice activity. When speech is detected, the voice activity detector generates a control signal. The control signal is used to activate, adjust, or control signal separation processes or post-processing operations to improve the quality of the resulting speech signal. In another approach, a signal separation process is provided as a learning stage and an output stage. The learning stage aggressively adjusts to current acoustic conditions, and passes coefficients to the output stage. The output stage adapts more slowly, and generates a speech-content signal and a noise dominant signal. When the learning stage becomes unstable, only the learning stage is reset, allowing the output stage to continue outputting a high quality speech signal.

    摘要: A system and method for separating a mixture of audio signal into desired audio signals (430) (e.g., speech) and a noise sign (440) is disclosed. Microphones (310, 320) are positioned to receive the mixed audio signals, and an independent component analysis (ICA) processes (212) the sound mixture using stability constraints. The ICA process (508) uses predefined characteristics of the desired speech signal to identify and isolate a target sound signal (430). Filter coefficients are adapted with a learning rule and filter weight update dynamics are stabilized to assist convergence to a stable separated ICA signal result. The separated signals may be peripherally-processed to further reduce noise effects using post-processing (214) and pre-processing (220, 230) techniques and information. The proposed system is designed and easily adaptable for implementation on DSP units or CPUs in audio communication hardware environments.

    摘要: A method of decomposing a multichannel audio signal is described. The method includes, for each of a plurality of frequency components of a segment in time of the multichannel audio signal, calculating a corresponding indication of a direction of arrival. The method also includes, based on the calculated direction indications, selecting a subset of the plurality of frequency components. The method further includes, based on the selected subset and on a plurality of basis functions, calculating a vector of activation coefficients. Each activation coefficient of the vector corresponds to a different basis function of the plurality of basis functions.

    摘要: An apparatus for multichannel signal processing separates signal components from different acoustic sources by initializing a separation filter bank with beams in the estimated source directions, adapting the separation filter bank under specified constraints, and normalizing an adapted solution based on a maximum response with respect to direction. Such an apparatus may be used to separate signal components from sources that are close to one another in the far field of the microphone array.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, and systems for source separation include a converged plurality of coefficient values that is based on each of a plurality of M-channel signals. Each of the plurality of M-channel signals is based on signals produced by M transducers in response to at least one information source and at least one interference source. In some examples, the converged plurality of coefficient values is used to filter an M-channel signal to produce an information output signal and an interference output signal.
