    摘要: An array microphone is a directional microphone having an improved directional characteric in which both the sensitivity and the sound pressure frequency response are uniform within the recording area and more particularly, the quality and level of sound remain unchanged. The array microphone includes a microphone array including a plurality of microphone units, and a two-dimensional filter for filtering an output of the microphone array in the dimensions of both time and space. When the two-dimensional filter is a digital filter and varied in its two-dimensional filter coefficient and sampling frequency, the array microphone serves as a variable directional microphone whose directional characteristic can be varied with the sound quality and level remaining unchanged throughout the recording area.

The delay time .tau. corresponds to a difference between the timings of a sound from a sound source in a direction making a clockwise angel .theta. from the front where a dead angel should be made. The subtraction provides the dead angle. Similarly, a dead angle on the side is also made to obtain a stereo characteristic. The directivity in the frequency characteristic of microphone is equalized to cancel the sensitivity in the dead angle. A stereo apparatus for forming the dead angles with two set of two filters having respective transfer characteristics determined by measurement and an adder is also disclosed.

    摘要: In an echo canceller, a first adaptive filter (1) estimates an impulse response of an echo path between reception and transmission side by an NLMS algorithm to synthesize a pseud echo, while a second adaptive filter (3) determines whether there is an echo path change or a double talk. A voice detector (8) detects a short time power of the received input signal (x) to determine whether far-end speech is present or absent. The voice detector controls the second adaptive filter (3) to execute adaptation of the second adaptive filter for renewal of an impulse response of an echo path when far-end speech is present and otherwise to suspend the adaptation of the second adaptive filter when far-end speech is absent, while a double talk detector (9) controls the first adaptive filter to execute or suspend adaptation of the first adaptive filter according to the determination results of the voice detector.

    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.
