Abstract:

An adaptive controller generates a sequence of dither signals for each of a plurality of control parameters. Each dither signal sequence is uncorrelated with every other dither signal sequence. Each nominal control signal has the first of its respective dither signal values simultaneously summed with it to form the control parameter values used by the controller. Updated control signals are applied in parallel to the controller outputs and a performance measure is taken and stored. The second signals in the dither control sequences are then summed with their respective nominal controls and applied in parallel to the controller and a second performance measure is taken and stored. This process is repeated for the length of the dither control signal sequence to yield a sequence of performance measurements. The sequence of performance measurements is correlated with each of the dither sequences, forming sequences of correlator outputs, one for each control signal. Each correlator output sequence is integrated and, depending upon the value of a correlator's integration output, the corresponding nominal signal has it's dither value added to or subtracted from it to form the respective, updated control values.

Abstract:

A system and method are disclosed for enhancing audio signals by nonlinear spectral operations. Successive portions of the audio signal are processed using a subband filter bank. A nonlinear modification is applied to the output of the subband filter bank for each successive portion of the audio signal to generate a modified subband filter bank output for each successive portion. The modified subband filter bank output for each successive portion is processed using an appropriate synthesis subband filter bank to construct a modified time-domain audio signal. High modulation frequency portions of the audio signal may be emphasized or de-emphasized, as desired. The modification may be applied within one or more frequency bands.

Abstract:

Modifying an audio signal comprising a plurality of channel signals is disclosed. At least selected ones of the channel signals are transformed into a time-frequency domain. The at least selected ones of the channel signals are compared in the time-frequency domain to identify corresponding portions of the channel signals that are not correlated or are only weakly correlated across channels. The identified corresponding portions of said channel signals are modified.

US Classification:

381 1, 381 17

Abstract:

A method of ambience extraction includes analyzing an input signal to determine the time-dependent and frequency-dependent amount of ambience in the input signal, wherein the amount of ambience is determined based on a signal model and correlation quantities computed from the input signals and wherein the ambience is extracted using a multiplicative time-frequency mask. Another method of ambience extraction includes compensating a bias in the estimation of a short-term cross-correlation coefficient. In addition, systems having various modules for implementing the above methods are disclosed.

Abstract:

The present technology provides a robust noise suppression system that may concurrently reduce noise and echo components in an acoustic signal while limiting the level of speech distortion. An acoustic signal may be received and transformed to cochlear domain sub-band signals. Features, such as pitch, may be identified and tracked within the sub-band signals. Initial speech and noise models may be then be estimated at least in part from a probability analysis based on the tracked pitch sources. Speech and noise models may be resolved from the initial speech and noise models and noise reduction may be performed on the sub-band signals. An acoustic signal may be reconstructed from the noise-reduced sub-band signals.
