Embodiment Construction

[0116] The real world is full of multiple noise sources, including single point noise sources, which often cross over to multiple sounds, causing reverberation. Background acoustic noise may include many noise signals generated by the general environment and interfering signals generated by other people's background conversations, as well as reflections and reverberations generated from any of the desired sound signal and / or other signals.

[0117]Environmental noise can affect the intelligibility of sensed audio signals (eg, near-end speech signals). Signal processing may be required to distinguish the desired audio signal from background noise. For example, for applications where communications may occur in noisy environments, speech processing methods may be required to distinguish speech signals from background noise and enhance their intelligibility. This processing can be important in many areas of everyday communication since noise is almost always present in real worl...

Abstract

Based on phase differences between corresponding frequency components of different channels of a multichannel signal, a measure of directional coherency is calculated. Application of such a measure to voice activity detection and noise reduction are also disclosed.
