Abstract: A method for noise characteristic dependent speech enhancement by an electronic device is described. The method includes determining a noise characteristic of input audio. Determining a noise characteristic of input audio includes determining whether noise is stationary noise and determining whether the noise is music noise. The method also includes determining a noise reference based on the noise characteristic. Determining the noise reference includes excluding a spatial noise reference from the noise reference when the noise is stationary noise and including the spatial noise reference in the noise reference when the noise is not music noise and is not stationary noise. The method further includes performing noise suppression based on the noise characteristic.

Abstract: A system which tracks a social interaction between a plurality of participants, includes a fixed beamformer that is adapted to output a first spatially filtered output and configured to receive a plurality of second spatially filtered outputs from a plurality of steerable beamformers. Each steerable beamformer outputs a respective one of the second spatially filtered outputs associated with a different one of the participants. The system also includes a processor capable of determining a similarity between the first spatially filtered output and each of the second spatially filtered outputs. The processor determines the social interaction between the participants based on the similarity between the first spatially filtered output and each of the second spatially filtered outputs.
