Abstract

A system and method for eliminating background noise of voice signal is provided, which combines the adaptive filter with long-term and short-term statistical characteristics for voice. Because the statistical characteristics of voice signal are varied with the time, the associated coefficients of the filter also need to be suitably adjusted along with the voice signal, so as to eliminate the undesirable background noise, and further compensate the high frequency deterioration by the filter to increase the brightness of the sound and obtain the best voice signal.

Description of the Invention (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a system and method for suppressing voice signal f scene noise suppression > 'It is mainly a background noise suppression system and method designed for speech short time and time correction. [Previous technology] Voice signals are the most important data type capability transmitted in communication systems. In addition to voice signals during communication, background noise in the call environment will also accompany the phone, which will cause a certain degree. Interference, which in turn affects call quality; especially recently the rapid growth of mobile communication phones, f is tolerated by background noise, so the technology to suppress background noise is an important issue in communication systems that emphasize service quality There are three commonly used background noise suppression techniques: The first method is the noise cancellation method in the frequency domain. The basic method of this method is in the non-speech section. It is estimated that the noise in the frequency domain at this time = 2 The level in the next speech segment is subtracted from the solution field: the estimated noise energy at each frequency. This method is simple, but- The statistical characteristics of general background noise will change over time, so its effect of suppressing background noise is limited. In US Patent No. 2 and US05 = 2927, the concept of using the frequency domain noise cancellation method is mentioned. The two methods are the time-domain noise cancellation method. The principle of this method is to use two microphones to receive external signals. The first microphone ^ is mainly used to receive signals of voice and background noise, and the first one is the signal of scene noise. Therefore, with the second microphone, the size of the monthly news is displayed, and then the U ruler of the first microphone is used in the time field.

The quality of the invention description (&gt;), and the correlation coefficient can be adjusted adaptively. Another object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for suppressing background noise of a voice signal, which has low complexity and requires only a microphone, so it is quite suitable for application in recent fast-growing mobile phones and speech recognition technology. To improve speech encoding quality and speech recognition rate. [Technical content] The background noise suppression system and method for speech signals are used to improve the degradation of speech quality caused by the background noise. The analog speech signals are first converted by the sampler to analog digital signals for subsequent use. For digital signal processing. The bandwidth of the voice signal is about 4KHz. According to the Nyquist sampling theorem, the general sampling frequency is 8KHz. In order to improve the correlation between the sampling signals, we increase the sampling frequency by four times, that is, the sampling frequency of 32KHz, which is called super sampling. The digital signal after sampling is expressed by 12-bit Pulse Code 15 Modulation (PCM). That is to say, the allowable change range of digital speech sampling is within ± 2048. The background noise suppression system and method for speech signals of the present invention include: an oversampling unit, two low-pass wave waver units, an adaptive speech analyzer unit, a speech period detector unit, and a background noise 20 signal Suppression filter unit, and a high-frequency booster unit. Assume that the voice signal containing background noise is a cross (0; first 乂 (0 will be oversampled by the oversampling unit (more than twice the sampling frequency of speech and audio width), and the sampled digital signal will be &amp; ⑷, expressed by 12-bit pulse wave code modulation, where A represents the first sampling signal.

In the adaptive speech analyzer unit, An all-pole adaptive wave filter of order &quot; is used to estimate the speech signal, and the coefficient of the whole device is _, a} represents the first waverbinator coefficient = === the filter coefficients representing the unique characteristics of the voice signal, will Π) reaches the month, 'the noise suppresses the waver unit; on the other hand, it will be sent to the speech period detector unit to estimate the period of the speech signal, and the estimated period P ranges from 3 to 10w, if The sampling frequency is a duty, then the number of samples corresponding to a cycle is about 96 ~ 32. The sampling cycle of each voice signal will be estimated, and it will be sent to the background with the 15 coefficients of the all-pole adaptive wavelet. The noise suppression wave filter unit is used to suppress the background noise in the next step. Li Ba ί !! The noise suppression wave filter unit 'uses the adaptive filter: and the speech and period detector units to estimate the obtained filter coefficients, respectively. The k / ρ 5 is also considered as the background noise suppression filter.

Before the background noise suppression process is officially carried out, it will be pre-processed to convert the analog voice signal into a digital signal suitable for subsequent processing, including oversampling and low-pass filtering, wave, and oversampling. On the one hand, the converter 101 performs analog digital conversion on the external analog voice signal. On the other hand, the converted digital signal is expressed by Pulse Code Modulation (JPCM) method. When changing, the sampling frequency is much larger than the minimum frequency specified by the sampling theorem, in order to improve the correlation between the samples. In this embodiment, the sampling frequency is recommended to be 32 times fe, which is 8 times the general voice and audio frequency. The low-pass filter 102 is used to remove noise outside the speech and audio width, especially after passing through the supersampler 101, it is necessary to use a low-pass filter 102 to limit the bandwidth of the signal.

Since the similarity of the speech signals in these two groups of roars is quite high, it is Homological addition; on the other hand, background noise does not have this similarity, so it is non-homogeneous addition. Therefore, the effect of homophonic noise removal can be achieved (if p = 〇, this feature has no effect). The 10 waves of noise shaping filter are 51, and the iV +1 coherently added speech signal is combined according to the following transformation function of the shaping filter: 1-H (z) = — 弓-1-^ α, α / ζ '/ / = 1 • Line · where' α and 常数 two constants, 0 ^ Μ α ^ i, are used to control the size of the peaks and troughs of the speech spectrum.

Because α i represents the characteristics of the voice signal, after the conversion function of the shaping filter 51, the spectrum of the original signal will be shaped into a shape similar to the voice signal, that is, the background The spectrum of noise will change with the spectrum of the voice signal, so the so-called masking effect 20 (MaskingEffect) is generated, and the effect of suppressing background noise is achieved.
