Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for eliminating environmental noise in a voice signal, and more particularly to a technique for adjusting a noise intensity factor according to different environments to eliminate environmental noise. field. [Prior Art] ^ Noise is a sound that interferes with and hinders people from working, learning, and resting. When the signal number is in the process of transmission, it will be subject to some unwanted extra energy (ie, noise). Interference from noise typically causes distortion of the signal, often from outside or inside the system. For external noise sources, human noise is the most influential noise in speech recognition. Artificial noise sources such as steam, locomotive aircraft ignition systems, electric motors, switching equipment, high-voltage cable and electricity use ^ Fluorescent lamps such as arc discharges, such noise interference ranges from 0 to 600 MHz. There are many sources of internal noise, and the so-called thermal noise (Thermal Noise or White Noise). The source of such noise comes from the random movement of electrons inside the resistive element, and its intensity is proportional to the absolute temperature of the environment. For speech recognition systems, the sound produced by the internal components of the computer, such as fans, is the main factor that interferes with the accuracy of speech recognition. It is customary to estimate the noise-to-noise ratio by estimating the signal-to-noise ratio of the speech signal containing the ambient noise, and set the intensity factor 5 200941456 to be fixed in a specific frame. This setting assumes that the effects of noise on the entire spectrum of the voice signal are consistent. However, the noise in real life is mostly color noise, and the influence of color noise on the entire spectrum of the voice signal is not uniform. Some frequency bands of the voice signal are affected by noise more than other frequency bands. Therefore, the accuracy of signal identification is greatly reduced. In view of the problems of the prior art, in order to be able to solve the problem, the inventor has proposed a method for eliminating environmental noise in the voice signal based on years of research and development and many practical experiences, as an improvement of the disadvantages described above. Ways and basis. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for eliminating environmental noise in a voice signal to improve the adaptability of the speech recognition system to different environmental noises. According to the purpose of the present invention, a method for canceling ring-to-space noise in a voice signal is provided. The voice signal includes an environmental noise and a pure voice signal. The method includes the following steps: i) setting a voice signal Ii) calculating an upper limit frequency value and a signal to noise ratio (SNR) in the sound box; iii) determining a first adjustment parameter corresponding to one of the sound frames and a second according to the upper limit frequency value and the signal to noise ratio, respectively Adjusting the parameters; iv) using the first adjustment parameter and the second adjustment parameter to operate with a predetermined noise intensity factor to generate a corrected noise intensity 6 200941456 factor; and V) using a spectral subtraction and corrected The noise intensity factor is calculated to eliminate environmental noise from the voice signal. [Embodiment] 〇 First adjustment parameter and a second adjustment parameter 凊 Refer to FIG. 1 , which is a flow chart of steps of a method for eliminating environmental noise in a voice signal according to the present invention. The voice signal includes an environmental noise and a pure voice signal. The method includes the following steps. In step S10', the audio frame is first set in the voice frame, and then in the step, the upper limit frequency value in the sound box is detected. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is connected, and in step S12, according to the upper limit frequency value and the signal-to-noise ratio, respectively, it is determined to correspond to the frame *y - <S〇r jnL. «_»_ because the general nature of the noise (car , street and vocal, etc. 高频 high frequency decrement' and its energy is often distributed throughout the frequency-曰 range, while; " signal energy is mostly concentrated in the low frequency band. Therefore 'a relatively large number can be used at low frequencies— Adjusting the parameters to remove the miscellaneous = mouth can have a relatively prominent speech power spectrum. For example, if the upper limit frequency of the sound box is less than 1 coffee, the adjustment parameter is set to L5, and the upper limit frequency of the sound box. If it is greater than the postal time, the first adjustment parameter is set to 〇.5. In addition, when the signal-to-noise ratio of the sound box is low, the table needs (4) (4) larger second (four) parameter n multi-repair

When the value is greater than or equal to 8 decibels and less than 13 decibels, the second adjustment parameter is set to 0.5, and when the signal-to-noise ratio is greater than or equal to 13 decibels, the second adjustment parameter is set to 0.3. The correspondence between the upper limit frequency value range and the first adjustment parameter, and the correspondence between the signal to noise ratio range and the second adjustment parameter may be recorded in a lookup table, which is used when executed in step S12. After determining the first adjustment parameter and the second adjustment parameter, in step S13, the first adjustment parameter and the second adjustment parameter are conveniently used to perform weight calculation with a preset noise intensity factor to generate a corrected noise strength. factor. Finally, step S14 operates using a spectral subtraction and the modified noise intensity factor to remove the ambient noise from the voice signal. Here, spectral subtraction uses an energy spectrum formula to eliminate this environmental noise. Since spectral subtraction is well known to those skilled in the art, it will not be repeated here. The following merely describes the operational relationship between the energy spectrum formula and the modified noise intensity factor: if Ni(f)xM' > Oi(f) , then update Ni(f) = Ni(f)xL+(lL)xOi(f), and Si(f) = 0 if Ni(f)xM'SOi(f) shell|J Ni(f) remains unchanged, And Si(f) = Oi(f)- Ni(f)xM, M'= Μχαχβ 8 200941456 〇1(f) is the spectral amplitude of the speech signal in the i-th sound frame, Si(f) is The spectral amplitude of the pure speech signal in the i-th sound frame is the spectral amplitude of the environmental noise in the i-th sound frame, and the L is the flat bone factor, the value is between 0 and 1, and the M system is the preset impurity. Signal strength factor. M, the value is the corrected noise intensity factor, α is the first adjustment parameter, and the second adjustment parameter. The α system is set based on the upper limit frequency value of the i-th sound frame. The β system is set according to the signal-to-noise ratio of the i-th sound frame. - ❹ From the above equation, the spectral amplitude of the environmental noise is calculated after the corrected noise and the degree factor. If the operation result is larger than the spectral amplitude of the voice signal, the spectral amplitude of the voice signal is equal to zero, when pure = audio signal When the amplitude of the spectrum is equal to zero, the smoothing of the sub-subsequence 1 is subtracted from i, and then the spectral amplitude of the speech signal is calculated, and the obtained value is added to the value obtained by multiplying the spectral amplitude of the 2-channel noise with the smoothing factor. , the spectral amplitude of the updated environmental noise can be obtained. On the other hand, if the spectral amplitude of the ambient noise and the corrected noise 度=degree factor are less than the amplitude of the (4) amplitude of the voice signal, then the amplitude of the t2 signal is equal to the voice _ _ minus the intensity factor and the environmental noise. The value of the spectral amplitude is multiplied, where the spectral amplitude of the ambient noise is updated. The method for eliminating environmental noise according to the present invention is applied to an embedded speech recognition system, and the embedded platform can be an individual, a mobile phone, a laptop computer, and an electronic dictionary. Please note that the 2 large frame: and the setting position of the sound box are adjusted according to the environment or the timing; the timing is different, it is not customized, so it is not described here. The technical feature of the present invention is that the first noise parameter and the second adjustment parameter can be used to adjust the preset noise intensity factor of an energy spectrum formula according to the characteristics of different environmental background noises to generate a modified noise intensity factor. And then the corrected noise intensity factor is returned to the energy spectrum formula to eliminate environmental noise, wherein the first adjustment parameter is set according to the upper limit frequency value of a sound box, and the second adjustment parameter is based on the sound frame. Set by the signal to noise ratio. In this way, the adaptability of speech recognition to different environmental noises is enhanced, and the recognition rate is further improved. In one embodiment, the set values of α and β can be expressed by the following two formulas: (Formula 1) α = 1.5, Fi ^ 1kHz = 0.5, Fi > 1kHz (Formula 2) β = 1.6, SNRi < 2db =1.0 , 2db S SNRi < 8db =0.5 , 8db $ SNRi < 13db =0.3 , SNRi ^ 13db where Fi represents the upper frequency value of the i-th frame and SNRi represents the signal-to-noise ratio of the i-th frame. It can be seen from the above set values that a relatively large noise intensity factor, for example, α = 1.5, is used when the environmental noise is removed at the low frequency band, whereby the power spectrum of the speech can be relatively emphasized. On the other hand, if the signal frame with low signal-to-noise ratio indicates that there are many noise components, a relatively large noise intensity factor is used, for example, β=1.6, and the signal frame with high signal-to-noise ratio indicates that the voice component is more. , using a relatively small noise intensity factor, such as β = 0.3. Please refer to Figures 2 to 2 for a spectrum-time diagram of various environmental noises 200941456. Figure 2A is the noise spectrum generated by the operation of the host computer - time chart 'Block 2B is the noise spectrum generated by the car _ time map, the 2C picture is the noise spectrum recorded on the track _ time map The 2D picture is the noise spectrum and time chart recorded in the restaurant, the 2E picture is the noise spectrum-time chart recorded by the exhibition factory, and the 2F picture is the noise spectrum recorded in the factory - Time map, the 2G picture is the noise spectrum of the human tears - time chart, the 2H picture is the noise spectrum recorded on the aircraft - time chart '21st picture is the noise spectrum recorded in the subway _ time Ο Picture, the 2J picture is the noise spectrum-time diagram recorded on the train. The horizontal and vertical axes of the above ten graphs represent time and frequency, respectively. The lighter gray fractions represent stronger energy, so these graphs can easily see the stability and frequency distribution of noises. In computer host noise, car noise, street noise, subway noise, and train noise, the average spectrum energy is the lowest at low frequencies. The spectrum characteristics of vocal noise, Gongwei noise and restaurant noise are similar to the above five, but the difference between high frequency and low frequency energy is not as obvious as the above five kinds of noise.
