Patent number: 7035796Abstract: A system with an accompanying method is provided to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of noisy speech by suppressing acoustic background noise. The background noise consists of narrow band noise from rotating machine, audio signals from stereo-loudspeakers of audio entertainment device, and other ambient noise. In this system/apparatus, a microphone senses the speech intermingled with the background noise, and another microphone senses the noisy background. In addition, a measurement sensor is used to measure RPM (revolutions-per-minutes) of the rotating machine and two wires are used to acquire audio signals from the stereo-loudspeakers of the audio entertainment device. Furthermore, to provide better suppression performance for the acoustic audio signals, the characteristics of these loudspeakers are used to compensate for the distortion caused by the loudspeakers. Adaptive comb filters and adaptive FIR filters are applied to estimate the ambient noise and suppress the background noise.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2000Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Assignee: Nanyang Technological UniversityInventors: Ming Zhang, Hui Lan
