Spectral modulation sensitivity based perceptual acoustic echo cancellation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Perceptual acoustic echo cancellers were developed by mainly considering human hearing thresholds of different acoustic frequencies in the past. In addition to the different frequency sensitivities, the human brain further analyzes sounds in terms of their spectral and temporal modulations. In this paper, we extend the perceptual normalized least mean square (P-NLMS) algorithm by adding a second pre-emphasis filter which accounts for brain’s spectral modulation sensitivity. Simulation results and listening tests demonstrate our system effectively reduces the perceived residual echo during convergence due to faster convergence rates in hearing-sensitive spectral modulation bands and acoustic frequency bands.

Wiener variable step size and gradient spectral variance smoothing for double-talk-robust acoustic echo cancellation and acoustic feedback cancellation
Double-talk (DT)-robust acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) and acoustic feedback cancellation (AFC) are needed in speech communication systems, e.g., in hands-free communication systems and hearing aids. In this paper, we derive a practical and computationally efficient algorithm based on the frequency-domain adaptive filter prediction error method using row operations (FDAF-PEM-AFROW) for DT-rob...
متن کاملA Spectral Dominance Decorrelation Met- Hod for Stereo Acoustic Echo Cancellation
In stereophonic acoustic echo cancellation, the two stereophonic channels are usually strongly correlated, which leads to non-unique solution of adaptive filters. Therefore, the filter misalignment gets large and the tracking capability is poor. In this paper, a novel decorrelation method based on psychoacoustic effect is proposed for stereo acoustic echo cancellation. Spectral dominance effect...

The thesis treats theory and implementation aspects for stereophonic acoustic echo cancellation. In Paper I a complete implementation of a stereophonic acoustic echo canceler based on the two-channel fast recursive least-squares algorithm is presented. An analysis of the system calculation complexity is also given, in addition to simulation results on recorded real-life data. Paper II presents ...
متن کاملDNN-based residual echo suppression
Due to the limitations of power amplifiers or loudspeakers, the echo signals captured in the microphones are not in a linear relationship with the far-end signals even when the echo path is perfectly linear. The nonlinear components of the echo cannot be successfully removed by a linear acoustic echo canceller. Residual echo suppression (RES) is a technique to suppress the remained echo after a...
متن کاملPartitioned residual echo power estimation for frequency-domain acoustic echo cancellation and postfiltering
Residual echo arises in hands–free telephony equipment due to insufficient echo canceler convergence, but can be suppressed using a postfilter. The residual echo power spectral density is the most crucial control parameter for both frequency–domain acoustic echo cancellation and combined residual echo and noise postfiltering. In this contribution we present and compare residual echo power spect...
