Embodiment 1

[0046] Reference figure 1 , figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of the first embodiment of the signal processing method of the present invention.

[0047] In the first embodiment, the signal processing method includes:

[0048] Step 101: Obtain at least two channel sound signals, perform short-time Fourier transform STFT on each channel sound signal, and obtain a frequency domain audio signal corresponding to each channel sound signal;

[0049] Specifically, the sound signals of N microphones are collected (N> = 2), short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is performed on the time domain signal received by each microphone to obtain the data of each frequency point of the signal received by the microphone.

[0050] The same framing method is used to perform short-time Fourier transform on each microphone signal, and the frames are partially overlapped. There can be multiple overlapping methods. This embodiment uses a 1 / 4 frame shift method for framing. Of course Other methods such as 1 / 2 f...

Embodiment 2

[0102] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a schematic flowchart of the second embodiment of the signal processing method of the present invention.

[0103] On the basis of the first embodiment, step 105 is further included after step 103:

[0104] Step 105: Multiply the audio signal at each frequency point output after beamforming in the output direction by a gain, where the gain is a value directly proportional to the frequency domain value.

[0105] Specifically, in a broadband beam, it is also necessary to consider the consistency of the beam in the frequency domain, especially the inconsistency of the beam main lobe width at each frequency point. The main lobe of the broadband beam is wide in the low frequency part and narrow in the high frequency part. If the normalization constraint in formula (9) is satisfied at the same time, that is, to ensure that the signal in the desired direction is not distorted, the high frequency energy of the signal will be attenuated greatly , C...

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of signal processing, in particular to a method and device for signal processing. Background technique [0002] The most common application of microphone array-based speech enhancement methods is to utilize the beamforming characteristics of the array. According to different implementation modes, the existing beamforming technology can be divided into a fixed beamforming technology (Delay and SumBeamforming, DSBF) and an adaptive beamforming technology. Flanagan proposed the DSBF method in 1985 as the simplest fixed beamforming method. It first compensates the voice signal received on each microphone in the array to synchronize the voice of each channel, and then adds and averages the signal of each channel. In this case, once the signal deviates from the direction of the array, the array will show different gains for signals of different frequencies, which will cause distortion in the processing of broadband sig...
