Hands-Free Audio and its Application to Telecommunication Terminals
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we focus on the enhancement of speech quality by hands-free audio systems in modern, multimedia enabled telecommunication terminals. Requirements like the compatibility with wideband audio and full-duplex hands-free operation demand for sophisticated system designs. As a starting point we introduce a state-of-the-art system developed for mobile phones, considering practical aspects of algorithm design. Algorithmic extensions to this solution are presented, supporting speech enhancement for the user of the terminal or reducing the round-trip delay. In addition, more advanced concepts are discussed. They offer the capability of joint design for the most important algorithms and provide the possibility to exploit psychoacoustic properties of the human ear.

New optimal filtering approaches for hands-free telecommunication terminals
The use of Wiener filtering to simultaneously reduce all the perturbations at the sound pick-up of hands-free terminals is investigated in this paper. This analysis of perturbation reduction is a global approach as all types of perturbations to desired signal are reduced by a unique filter. Filters derived from this approach are applied in two different contexts: hands-free radiotelephony in ca...
متن کاملAdaptive Polynomial Filters and their Application to Nonlinear Acoustic Echo Cancellation
Bibliography 184 viii Contents 1 1 Introduction Linear adaptive filtering plays an important role in statistical signal processing and respective theoretical and practical results are well established [23]. In practice, however, nonlinear adaptive filtering often becomes desirable if the considered systems exhibit non-linear behaviour. Acoustic echo cancellation represents an important example ...

Cargo terminals are the gateways for entrance of commodities into the transportation network. Therefore, locating them in optimal location could have a major impact on the cost effectiveness and efficiency of transport, traffic safety and reduction in environmental pollutions. Due to the presence of a large number of parameters involved and the existing uncertainties, decision making in this fi...
