[0042] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0043] The main solution of the present application is: obtaining the original audio signal collected by the sending device participating in the meeting; determining the target noise type of the environment in which the sending device is located based on the original audio signal; performing data preprocessing on the original audio signal to obtain a first feature quantity, and performing data preprocessing on the target noise type to obtain a second feature quantity; combining the first feature quantity and the second feature quantity to obtain a target feature vector; inputting the target feature vector into an AI noise reduction model for noise reduction to obtain a target audio signal, wherein the AI ​​noise reduction model is trained using a feature vector constructed based on an audio signal and the actual noise type of the audio signal as model input data, and using label data constructed based on a main human voice signal in the audio signal as a model training label, and the main human voice signal is a human voice signal with the highest clarity in the audio signal.

[0044] Currently, in the actual application of online meetings, while the microphone collects the voices of the meeting participants, it will inevitably capture various noises in the speaker's environment, such as background voices, ambient wind noise, and electrical noise, and send the voice and noise emitted by the meeting participants to other meeting participants, resulting in a decline in audio quality and affecting communication effectiveness.

[0045] This application obtains the original audio signal collected by the sending device of the conference, and after determining the target noise type of the original audio signal, performs noise reduction processing on the original audio signal based on the target noise type and the AI ​​noise reduction model to obtain the noise-reduced target audio signal, thereby reducing the noise in the audio signal received by other conference participants, improving the audio stream instructions, and further improving the communication effect and efficiency.

[0046] It should be noted that the execution subject of the method in each embodiment of the AI-based conference audio stream intelligent noise reduction method of this application can be a noise reduction system, or a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an AI-based conference audio stream intelligent noise reduction device that can achieve the above functions, etc. This embodiment does not specifically limit this. The following takes the noise reduction system as an example of the execution subject to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0047] Based on this, this application proposes a first embodiment of an AI-based conference audio stream intelligent noise reduction method, please refer to Figure 1 The AI-based conference audio stream intelligent noise reduction method includes steps S10 to S30:

[0048] Step S10, obtaining the original audio signal collected by the sending device participating in the conference;

[0049] It should be noted that the above-mentioned sending device refers to the device used by the user who turns on the microphone in the current online meeting. The noise reduction system of this application is connected to each device participating in the meeting, so after the sending device collects the sound signal (hereinafter referred to as the original audio signal for distinction), it automatically sends the collected original audio signal to the noise reduction system, and then the noise reduction system receives the original audio signal.

[0050] Step S20, determining a target noise type of the environment in which the sending device is located based on the original audio signal;

[0051] It should be noted that the noise type of the environment in which the sending device is located (hereinafter referred to as the target noise type for distinction) is determined based on the original audio signal, wherein the target noise type includes steady-state noise and non-steady-state noise types.

[0052] In a specific implementation, the step S20 may include:

[0053] Step S201, analyzing the original audio signal to obtain the sound level fluctuation of the original audio signal;

[0054] Step S202: if the sound level fluctuation is less than or equal to a preset threshold, determining that the target noise type of the environment in which the sending device is located is a steady-state noise type;

[0055] Step S203: If the sound level fluctuation is greater than the preset threshold, it is determined that the target noise type of the environment in which the sending device is located is a non-steady-state noise type.

[0056] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific size of the above-mentioned preset threshold, which can be any size used to distinguish between two types of noise. For example, in this embodiment, 3 decibels is preset as the above-mentioned preset threshold. And it should be understood that the above-mentioned original audio signal is a sound signal, that is, a sound signal of a limited time length.

[0057] The original audio signal is framed using a sliding window method to calculate the sound level of each frame, determine the maximum and minimum values ​​in the sound level of each frame, and calculate the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​as the sound level fluctuation of the original audio signal. Then, it is determined whether the sound level fluctuation is less than or equal to a preset threshold. If so, it is determined that the target noise type of the environment in which the sender device is located is a steady-state noise type. If not, it is determined that the target noise type of the environment in which the sender device is located is a non-steady-state noise type.

[0058] Step S30: Based on the target noise type and the AI ​​noise reduction model, the original audio signal is subjected to noise reduction processing to obtain a target audio signal.

[0059] It should be noted that the above AI (Artificial Intelligence) noise reduction model is used to perform noise reduction processing on the audio signal based on the noise type to obtain a noise-reduced audio signal. The noise reduction system of this application can call the AI ​​noise reduction model.

[0060] Based on the target noise type and the AI ​​noise reduction model, the original audio signal is subjected to noise reduction processing to obtain a noise-reduced audio signal (hereinafter referred to as the target audio signal for distinction).

[0061] In this embodiment, after step S30, the AI-based conference audio stream intelligent noise reduction method of the present application further includes:

[0062] Step A10: sending the target audio signal to a receiving device participating in the conference, so that the target audio signal is output through a speaker of the receiving device.

[0063] It should be noted that the above-mentioned receiving device refers to a device used by other conference participants except the sending device.

[0064] After the target audio signal is obtained, the target audio signal is sent to a receiving device participating in the conference, so that the receiving device plays the target audio signal through a speaker.

[0065] For example, Figure 2The figure shows a schematic diagram of the noise reduction system architecture. The noise reduction system includes an AI noise reduction model. The AI ​​noise reduction model is called to perform noise reduction processing on the original audio signal obtained from the sender device a to obtain the target audio signal. The target audio signal is then sent to other receiving devices b, and the target audio signal is played through the speaker of the receiving device.

[0066] The embodiment of the present application obtains the original audio signal collected by the sending device participating in the meeting, determines the target noise type of the environment in which the sending device is located based on the original audio signal, and performs noise reduction processing on the original audio signal based on the target noise type and an AI noise reduction model to obtain a target audio signal.

[0067] In summary, compared to the traditional method of sending the speaker's voice and the noise in the speaker's environment to other conference participants during online meetings, the embodiment of the present application obtains the original audio signal collected by the sending device of the meeting, and after determining the target noise type of the original audio signal, performs noise reduction processing on the original audio signal based on the target noise type and the AI ​​noise reduction model to obtain the noise-reduced target audio signal, thereby reducing the noise in the audio signal received by other conference participants, improving the audio stream instructions, and further improving the communication effect and efficiency.

[0076] After obtaining the target feature vector, the target feature vector is input into a pre-trained AI noise reduction model for noise reduction processing to obtain a target audio signal after noise reduction. It should be noted that the AI ​​noise reduction model is trained using a feature vector constructed based on the audio signal and the actual noise type of the audio signal as model input data, and using label data constructed based on the main human voice signal of the audio signal as model training labels. The actual noise type of the audio signal includes but is not limited to a steady-state noise type and a non-steady-state noise type. The main human voice signal of the audio signal refers to the human voice signal with the highest clarity in the audio signal.

[0079] Step C20: performing noise reduction processing on the first feature quantity in the target feature vector according to the target noise reduction strategy to obtain a third feature quantity, and performing signal reconstruction processing on the third feature quantity to obtain a target audio signal.

It should be noted that the step of obtaining the target audio signal based on the third feature quantity includes: performing feature inverse transformation on the third feature quantity to convert it from the feature space to the representation space of the sound signal, and then performing a signal reconstruction step to further improve the quality of the sound signal to obtain the target audio signal.

[0085] A sample data set is constructed based on multiple sample data, wherein each sample data includes an audio signal, the real noise type of the audio signal, and the main human voice signal in the audio signal; after obtaining the sample data set, a feature vector is constructed based on the audio signal and the real noise type in each sample data in the sample data set, that is, data preprocessing is performed on each data in the audio signal and the real noise type to obtain the feature quantity of each data, and each feature quantity is combined to obtain a feature vector, and at the same time, label data is constructed based on the main human voice signal in each sample data; finally, the feature vector corresponding to each sample data is used as the model input data, and the label data corresponding to each sample data is used as the model training label, and the noise reduction model to be trained is trained to obtain an AI noise reduction model.
