    摘要: Systems, methods, and machine-readable storage devices that receive an input signal representing audio captured using a microphone. The input signal includes portions that represent acoustic output from one or more audio sources, and a portion that represents other acoustic energy in the environment. A frequency domain representation of the input signal is iteratively modified to substantially reduce effects due to all but a selected one of the portions, from which an estimate of the power spectral density, PSD, of the selected portion is determined. Based upon the estimated PSD a noise or echo component is reduced, or a replacement noise is provided. The iterative modification involves a diagonalization of the cross-spectral density matrix to remove content coherent with a first audio input from the auto and cross-spectra of other signals.

    摘要: In an audio system with a plurality of input signals, the input signals are prioritized from least important to most important. The level of the aggregate of all of the input signals is compared to a threshold level. If the level is greater than the threshold, the levels of one or more of the input signals are reduced one at a time, in order from the least important input signal to the most important input signal.

    摘要: A system that performs noise estimation for an audio adjustment application comprises a coherence calculator that determines at least one coherence value between microphone signals generated by at least two microphones that each independently senses acoustic energy in a listening space. A first microphone of the at least two microphones generates a first microphone signal from the acoustic energy and a second microphone of the at least two microphones generates a second microphone signal from the acoustic energy. The acoustic energy comprises a combination of an audio signal transduced by one or more speakers and environmental noise of the acoustic energy that is local to the listening space. A noise estimate computation processor determines an estimate of a level of the environmental noise based on the at least one coherence value.

    摘要: The technology described in this document can be embodied in a method that includes receiving a plurality of representations of the signal corresponding to samples of the signal within a frame of predetermined time duration, and estimating a power spectral density (PSD) for each of a plurality of frequency bins. The PSD for a particular frequency bin is estimated based on a smoothing parameter calculated from a noise estimate for the particular frequency bin as obtained from samples corresponding to a preceding frame. The method also includes generating, based on the PSD for each of the plurality of frequency bins, an estimate of the steady-state noise floor, and computing a measure of spectral flatness associated with the samples within the frame. The method also includes determining that the measure of spectral flatness satisfies a threshold condition, and in response, computing an updated estimate of the steady-state noise floor.
