Speech quality under heavy noise conditions in hands-free communication

When the noise in an audio signal made up of both speech and noise is suppressed, the quality of the speech in the audio signal is usually degraded. The speech obtained from a noise-suppressed audio signal is improved by determining linear predictive coding (LPC) characteristics of the audio signal...

Zusammenfassung:When the noise in an audio signal made up of both speech and noise is suppressed, the quality of the speech in the audio signal is usually degraded. The speech obtained from a noise-suppressed audio signal is improved by determining linear predictive coding (LPC) characteristics of the audio signal without or prior to noise suppression and by determining the LPC characteristics of the noise-suppressed audio. The convolution of those differing characteristics provides an improved-quality speech signal, with the original noise level reduced or suppressed.
