- the first embodiment of the present invention includes an adaptive filter 5 and a subtractor 6.
- the operations of the adaptive filter 5, the subtractor 6, the noise estimation circuit 10, the coefficient update circuit 7 and the switch 9 are as already described with reference to FIG.
- the noise estimation circuit 10 estimates noise in response to an error.
- the double talk detection circuit 81 receives the pseudo echo, the microphone signal, and the estimated noise, and detects double talk.
- the double-talk detection circuit 81 is supplied with a microphone signal m (k) and a pseudo echo y (k) hat.
- the procedure for detecting double talk using these signals is as follows.
- n 2 (k)] a 2 (k)
- ⁇ 2 (k) ⁇ 2 (k) + ⁇ 2 (k)-(19)
- the noise is estimated, and the equation (13) is corrected with the value. If the estimated noise is n (k) hat, ⁇ (k) corrected by the estimated noise is given by Eq. (20).
- the double talk detection circuit 81 calculates (k) in the equation (20).
- the estimated noise par n-n 2 (k) hat also provides 10 noise estimation circuits.
- the noise estimation circuit 10 is supplied with an error signal e (k).
- Ave ['] is an operator for calculating the average.
- the average value calculation includes the moving average shown in equations (14) and (15),
- n 2 (k + l) hat ⁇ '11 2 (1 hat + (1-3) '6 2 (1'"(22)
- Equation (20) can be calculated to update the n 2 (k) hat.
- Equation (22) the selection of the averaging time constant ⁇ is important. If ⁇ is large, the follow-up performance of the estimated noise is poor, but high-precision estimation is possible. On the other hand, if ⁇ is small, the follow-up performance is good but the estimation accuracy deteriorates. To deal with this trade-off, ⁇ can be adaptively controlled. In general, it is desirable to use a relatively large value of ⁇ at the beginning of noise estimation, and to decrease the value of ⁇ as the estimated noise approaches (the average value of) the actual noise.
- the adaptive control of ⁇ information on the gradient (gradient) of the estimated noise with respect to time can be used.
- the slope decreases. That is, when the inclination is large, the value of ⁇ is increased, and when the inclination is small, the value of ⁇ is decreased, so that the value of ⁇ can be appropriately controlled.
- the slope can also be approximated by a change in estimated noise (adjacent sample difference).
- the sign of the slope can be used.
- the slope takes positive and negative values with almost the same probability. Therefore, the sign of the slope can be observed for a certain period of time, and the value of ⁇ can be controlled according to the deviation.
- two signs with the above-mentioned inclination are In comparison, there is a method of increasing the value of ⁇ when they are the same and decreasing them when they are different. Instead of two consecutive codes, it is also possible to compare the occurrence probability of positive and negative codes at a certain time and use this as an index to control the value of ⁇ .
- Echo E [y (k)] is the noise E [n 2 (k)] from sufficiently large instrument E [y 2 (k) W3 ⁇ 4 [y 2 (k), E [n 2 (k)] force 3 ⁇ 4 [n 2 (k)] If we can approximate with a hat, we can get the equation (from ( 26 ).
- (k) is 1 for single talk, and is less than 1 determined by the ratio of echo to near-end speech for double talk. Therefore, when it is not ⁇ (k) force i, it is determined that it is a double talk, and the coefficient is not updated by opening switch 9! / ⁇ .
- Example 2 a time-varying threshold is applied to (k). From equation (26),
- ⁇ (k) approximately depends on the ratio of the near-end signal power and the echo power. Therefore, if the near-end signal power and echo power can be estimated, the value of (k) for double talk can be obtained.
- the echo power can be obtained one after another by approximating with the pseudo echo power.
- the near-end signal power is similar to equation (21):
- V 2 (k) Hat Ave [e 2 (k)] ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ (27)
- the l-order leakage integral represented by can be used.
- ⁇ ⁇ is the averaging time constant.
