Zusammenfassung:Techniques for improving microphone noise suppression are provided. As wind noise may disproportionately impact a subset of microphones, a method for processing audio data using two adaptive reference algorithm (ARA) paths in parallel is provided. For example, first ARA processing performs noise cancellation using all microphones, while second ARA processing performs noise cancellation using only a portion of the microphones. As the first ARA processing and the second ARA processing are performed in parallel, beam merging can be performed using beams from the first ARA, the second ARA, and/or a combination of each. In addition, beam merging can be performed using beam sections instead of individual beams to further improve performance and reduce attenuation to speech.
