  • Patent number: 11495241
    Abstract: Provided are an echo delay time estimation method and system thereof, wherein the echo delay time estimation method is executed by the echo delay time estimation system with the following steps: receiving a testing signal and a received signal and executing a time to frequency analysis to generate a testing signal spectrogram and a received signal spectrogram; respectively executing a characteristic signal dynamic detection calculation for the testing signal spectrogram and the received signal spectrogram to generate a testing signal characteristic dynamic vector and a received signal characteristic dynamic vector; executing a cross-correlated vector estimation for the testing signal characteristic dynamic vector and the received signal characteristic dynamic vector to generate a cross-correlated vector; and calculating an echo delay time according to the cross-correlated vector.

  • Patent number: 11482235
    Abstract: A speech enhancement method and a speech enhancement system are provided. The speech enhancement method performs two-stage noise suppression by using digital signal processing and neural network approach. The first-stage noise suppression generates artifact signals by reducing stationary noise in the digital audio signals. The second-stage noise suppression performs voice activity detection and further reduces non-stationary noise in the artifact signals. The result of the voice activity detection is fed back to establish or update a noise model used in the first-stage noise suppression.
