  • ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING QUALITY OF SPEECH SIGNAL
    Publication number: 20140129215
    Abstract: An electronic device and a method for measuring quality of a voice signal are provided. The method includes generating a mask of an echo signal and a mask of a speech signal by comparing the echo signal and the speech signal included in an input sound with respective thresholds, calculating an estimation of the echo signal and an estimation of the speech signal, and measuring quality of the input speech signal by using each of the calculated estimation of the echo signal and the calculated estimation of the speech signal.
