摘要:
The present invention provides an adaptive directional microphone system for enhancing an acoustic signal from a second direction and for reducing an acoustic signal from at least a first direction different from the second direction, the system comprising: an omni-directional microphone and a directional microphone being arranged in a closely acoustically-coupled way; an adaptive filtering circuit system for generating a first error signal e1(n) corresponding to an acoustic signal in which the acoustic signal from the first direction is reduced; and a post-processing filter system for producing a second error signal e2(n) corresponding to an acoustic signal in which the acoustic signal from the second direction is enhanced as compared to the acoustic signal related to the first error signal e1(n).
摘要:
An adaptive noise canceling microphone system for extracting a desired signal, in particular a desired speech signal, comprising two microphones being arranged at a predefined distance from each other; a signal forming system (SFS) being adapted to receive a first and second input signals resulting from sounds received by the two microphones wherein an acoustical signal component in the first input signal is determined, wherein an acoustical signal component in the second input signal is determined, wherein the acoustical signal component in the first input signal is enhanced to generate a speech enhanced signal, and wherein the acoustical signal component in the second input signal is suppressed to generate a speech nulled signal; an adaptive noise cancellation filtering circuit being adapted to receive the speech enhanced signal and the speech nulled signal, wherein the noise in the speech enhanced signal is cancelled using the speech nulled signal as reference, thereby generating an output filtered signal representing the desired signal.
