    摘要: A pickup section transduces sounds to audio signals. A zoom control section outputs a zoom position signal corresponding to a zoom position. A directivity control section alters the directivity characteristics under a telescopic operation so as to mainly pick up sounds coming from a frontal direction with an enhancement which is in accordance with the zoom position signal, thereby outputting an R channel audio signal and an L channel audio signal. In accordance with the zoom position signal, a noise suppression section applies a greater degree of suppression to the background noise contained in the respective channel audio signals under the telescopic operation than under a wide-angle operation. As a result, a target sound from a remote location can be picked up with a sufficient enhancement in accordance with the zoom position under the telescopic operation.

    摘要: A signal generating section generates a main signal and a noise reference signal. A determining section determines whether a level ratio is larger than a predetermined value. An adaptive filter section generates a signal indicative of a signal component of a target sound included in the noise reference signal generated by the signal generating section, and learns a filter coefficient only when the determining section determines that the level ratio is larger than the predetermined value. A subtracting section subtracts the signal generated by the adaptive filter section from the noise reference signal. A noise suppressing section suppresses a signal component of noise included in the main signal by using the main signal and the noise reference signal after subtraction by the subtracting section.

    摘要: Howling, which occurs when amplifying a target sound collected by a first microphone through an amplification section and outputting the amplified sound as an intensified sound from a loudspeaker, is suppressed using a first and second acoustic signal. A first power spectrum is produced according to the first acoustic signal output from the first microphone collecting a sound. A second power spectrum is produced according to the second acoustic signal of a sound including at least the intensified sound and not including the target sound. Then, the first acoustic signal is filtered based on the first power spectrum, and the second power spectrum to output only an acoustic signal of the target sound to the amplification section.

    摘要: A low-cost speech recognition apparatus for AV equipment capable of speech recognition with high accuracy while 2-channel sound is being produced from loudspeakers is achieved. A monaural conversion part converts 2-channel signals to be inputted to the loudspeakers into a monaural signal. A single echo canceller is provided with an output from a microphone and an output from the monaural conversion part (monaural signal). The echo canceller estimates an echo of multichannel sound based on the monaural signal, and then eliminates the echo sound from the microphone output. Thus, with only a single echo canceller, speech recognition can be carried out while 2-channel sound is being produced from the loudspeakers. Moreover, unlike the case where two echo cancellers are provided, the present invention can prevent the occurrence of mutual interference between the echo cancellers that leads to deterioration in speech recognition performance.
