A Multi-filter Approach to Acoustic Echo Cancellation for Teleconferencing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have designed and tested an acoustic echo cancellation system for speech teleconferencing. Our algorithm is based on a least-mean-square (LMS) frequency domain adaptive filter (FDAF) and uses a novel filter-update technique using many (at least 3) simultaneously running filters. We find the new multi-filter to converge faster than similar LMS FDAF’s for echo cancellation, and find it to be especially robust during double-talk conditions.

Multichannel Teleconferencing System with Multi Spatial Region Acoustic Echo Cancellation
In this paper a novel configuration for multichannel teleconferencing with multi spatial region acoustic echo cancellation is developed. In the proposed configuration, the transmission and receiving rooms are divided into equivalent number of spatial regions and adaptive filters are attached to each spatial region for the purpose of echo cancellation. This multi spatial region acoustic echo can...

-This paper presents the Cancellation of an acoustic echo. Such echo canceller is essential to control the echoes generated by the acoustic coupling between the microphone and loudspeaker in hands free telephones or teleconferencing applications. Conventional acoustic echo canceller encounters problems like slow convergence rate (especially for speech signal) and high computational complexity a...
متن کاملStereophonic acoustic echo cancellation system using time-varying all-pass filtering for signal decorrelation
This paper describes a novel technique for decorrelating the stereo signals in stereophonic acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) systems. At present, most teleconferencing systems use a single full-duplex audio channel for voice communications. However, in order to introduce spatial realism, future teleconferencing systems are expected to have more than one channel (at least stereo with two channel...
متن کاملDesign of Normalized Subband Adaptive Filter for Acoustic Echo Cancellation
In hands-free telephones and teleconferencing systems, acoustic echo cancellers are required, which are often implemented by adaptive filters. In these applications, the speech input signal of the adaptive filter is highly correlated and the impulse response of the echo path is very long. These characteristics will slow down the convergence rate of the adaptive filter if the well-known normaliz...
متن کاملAdvanced Applications for Multichannel Teleconferencing Audio Systems
This thesis deals with advanced digital signal processing techniques applied to multichannel teleconferencing audio systems, focusing on their benefits and drawbacks. A teleconferencing system should provide a realistic representation of visual and sound fields, allowing a natural communication among participants anywhere in the world as they were all in the same room. In this context, the work...
