Abstract

A voice noise elimination method for microphone array applicable for voice enhancement and voice identification is disclosed. A microphone array and a noise elimination method are used to enhance signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to achieve goals of effectively improving voice communication quality and voice identification rate. The method includes a voice and non-voice section detection technology and two stages of voice enhancement technology: (1) collecting voice signals in the space by a linear microphone array and processing the voice signals for determination of voice and non-voice sections; (2) effectively evaluating a long-term noise spectrum of the non-voice section to eliminate the noise on the voice signal spectrum, which is considered a first voice SNR enhancement; and (3) achieving the result of the second stage, which is also the final stage, of voice SNR enhancement by residue noise estimation and elimination complying with voice signal partial characteristics.
