结合图 2, 对本发明的舒适噪声的处理过程进行说明。 The processing of the comfort noise of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
首先在步骤 S20中获得残余回波(RES ) 的幅度和背景噪声的幅度, 所述获得残余回波(RES ) 的过程可参见背景技术的描述, 所述背景噪声
的幅度( AMP )可以采用现有技术背景噪声的幅度估算方法获得。接下来, 在步骤 S21中判断当前非线性处理器是否工作,如果此时非线性处理器需 要工作(即此时为远端单方面进行通话), 流程转至步骤 S22; 当此时非线 性处理器不需要工作时 (即此时非为远端单方面进行通话), 则流程转至 步骤 S29, 远端输出信号(Sout)为残余回波(RES), 即不需要对残余回 波(RES)进行处理。 在步驟 S22中, 需要比较所述的残余回波的幅度及 背景噪声的幅度, 判断残余回波(RES) 的幅度是否超出背景噪声幅度 ( AMP ),如果残余回波( RES )的幅度小于背景噪声幅度的负值(― AMP ), 在步驟 S23中,通过限幅处理使所述残余回波的幅度等于所述背景噪声幅 度的负值( - AMP), 从而生成舒适噪声 (CN), 该舒适噪声 (CN) 的幅 度等于该背景噪声幅度的负值( - AMP); 本实施例中, 所述 "等于" 是 相对的, 它有精确相等以及模糊的相等两种含义, 所述模糊的相等既是前 文所述的 "相当,, 或者大致相等, 通例, 前文所述残余回波和背景噪声的 幅度比较中, 所述 "小于" 或 "超出", 指不相当或相差较大; 如果残余 回波(RES) 的幅度大于背景噪声幅度的正值(AMP), 在步骤 S24中, 通过限幅处理使所述残余回波的幅度等于所述背景噪声幅度的正值 (AMP), 从而使所述残余回波成为舒适噪声 (CN), 该舒适噪声 (CN) 的幅度等于该背景噪声幅度的正值(AMP)。 如果残余回波(RES) 的幅 度在背景噪声幅度之内( - AMP<RES<AMP)即所述残余回波的幅度小 于或等于所述背景噪声的幅度的绝对值时, 则在步驟 S25中, 不对该残余 回波(RES) 限幅, 则该残余回波(RES) 直接作为舒适噪声 (CN), 即 所述舒适噪声的幅度等于所述的残余回波的幅度。经步骤 S23、 S24或 S25 处理后的输出为舒适噪声 (CN); 在步骤 S26 中, 对该舒适噪声 (CN) 进行滤波处理, 例如进行高通滤波, 以滤除其中低频成份或频率相对较低 的成分, 以改善残余回波效果; 并在步骤 S27 中, 在舒适噪声 (CN) 中 适量的混入白噪声或 HOTH噪声,混入比例可调节,可以从一个预先设定 的比例开始, 此处白噪声是经过滤波处理滤除了高频成份的白噪声, 所述 滤波处理可以为4氏通滤波处理, 从而使通话更加自然。 所述步骤 S26 和 S27之间并没有固定的顺序, 其中, 在其他的实施例中, 也可以省去步驟
S26和 /或步骤 S27。经过上述处理后得到了最终的舒适噪声;则在步骤 S29 中, 远端输出信号 (Sout ) 为该舒适噪声 (CN ); 这就完成了舒适噪声的 处理, 这时从远端所听到的话音与纯 HOTH噪声相比更自然。 First, the amplitude of the residual echo (RES) and the amplitude of the background noise are obtained in step S20, and the process of obtaining the residual echo (RES) can be referred to the description of the background art, the background noise The magnitude (AMP) can be obtained using the amplitude estimation method of prior art background noise. Next, it is determined in step S21 whether the current non-linear processor is working. If the non-linear processor needs to work at this time (that is, the remote party is unilaterally talking at this time), the flow goes to step S22; When the device does not need to work (that is, the call is not unilaterally unilaterally), the flow goes to step S29, and the remote output signal (Sout) is a residual echo (RES), that is, no residual echo (RES) is needed. ) for processing. In step S22, it is necessary to compare the amplitude of the residual echo and the amplitude of the background noise to determine whether the amplitude of the residual echo (RES) exceeds the background noise amplitude (AMP), if the amplitude of the residual echo (RES) is smaller than the background. a negative value of the noise amplitude (-AMP), in step S23, the amplitude of the residual echo is equal to the negative value of the background noise amplitude (-AMP) by clipping processing, thereby generating comfort noise (CN), The amplitude of the comfort noise (CN) is equal to the negative value of the background noise amplitude (-AMP); in this embodiment, the "equal to" is relative, which has two meanings of exact equality and ambiguity, the fuzzy Equivalence is both "equal, or substantially equal" as described above. In the comparison of the amplitudes of residual echo and background noise as described above, the "less than" or "exceeded" means that the difference is not equal or the difference is large; The amplitude of the echo (RES) is greater than the positive value (AMP) of the background noise amplitude, and in step S24, the amplitude of the residual echo is equal to the positive value (AMP) of the background noise amplitude by clipping processing, thereby Residual The residual echo becomes comfort noise (CN), and the amplitude of the comfort noise (CN) is equal to the positive value of the background noise amplitude (AMP). If the amplitude of the residual echo (RES) is within the background noise amplitude ( - AMP<RES <AMP), that is, when the amplitude of the residual echo is less than or equal to the absolute value of the amplitude of the background noise, then in step S25, the residual echo (RES) is not limited, then the residual echo (RES) Directly as comfort noise (CN), ie the amplitude of the comfort noise is equal to the amplitude of the residual echo. The output processed by step S23, S24 or S25 is comfort noise (CN); in step S26, Comfort noise (CN) performs filtering, such as high-pass filtering, to filter out components with low frequency components or relatively low frequencies to improve residual echo effects; and in step S27, moderate amount in comfort noise (CN) Mixed with white noise or HOTH noise, the mixing ratio can be adjusted, and can start from a preset ratio, where white noise is filtered to remove white noise of high frequency components, and the filtering process can be 4th pass filtering. Li, so that more natural conversation. No fixed order between the steps S26 and S27, wherein, in other embodiments, the step can also be omitted S26 and/or step S27. After the above processing, the final comfort noise is obtained; then in step S29, the far-end output signal (Sout) is the comfort noise (CN); this completes the processing of the comfort noise, which is heard from the far end. Voice is more natural than pure HOTH noise.
通过利用本发明在回波消除中产生舒适噪声的方法, 利用背景噪声幅 度对残余回波进行限幅, 从而提供一种在背景噪声较大时, 一切换自然的 舒适噪声; By using the method of the present invention to generate comfort noise in echo cancellation, the residual echo is limited by the background noise amplitude, thereby providing a natural comfort noise when the background noise is large;
并且通过当非线性处理器工作时, 利用所获得的背景噪声幅度对残余 回波进行限幅, 以实现舒适噪声; 在非线性处理器不工作时, 不对残余回 波进行处理的这种方法, 解决了现有技术中当背景噪声较大时, 利用白噪 声 (或 HOTH噪声)作为舒适噪声(即在通话过程中的噪声)时切换明显 及通话不自然的问题, 以及现有技术利用复杂的算法来模拟背景噪声的方 法中算法复杂, 实现成本高的问题, 达到通话自然、 运算量小、 容易实现 及实现成本降低的目的; And by using a non-linear processor to work, the residual echo is limited by the obtained background noise amplitude to achieve comfort noise; when the nonlinear processor is not working, the residual echo is not processed, The invention solves the problem that the white noise (or HOTH noise) is used as the comfort noise (ie, the noise during the call) when the background noise is large, and the switching is obvious and the call is unnatural, and the prior art utilizes complicated The algorithm to simulate background noise has complex algorithms and high cost, and achieves the purpose of natural call, small amount of calculation, easy implementation and low cost.
另外, 通过滤波处理来滤除残余回波的低频成份, 可减小残余回波的 影响; 而且在限幅后的残余回波中可以混入经过滤波处理滤除了高频成份 的白噪声, 使通话更加自然。 In addition, the filtering process is used to filter out the low-frequency components of the residual echo, which can reduce the influence of the residual echo; and the residual echo after clipping can be mixed with white noise that is filtered to remove high-frequency components, so that the call is made. More natural.
