A robust noise and echo canceller
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of an echo canceller systems deployed in a practical communication environment (i.e. the presence of background noise and the possible double talk scenario) depends on an accurate Voice Activity Detector (VAD) and an effective filter coefficient adaptation strategies. Accuracy of the VAD, which affects the coefficient adaptation strategy, is itself affected by the presence of background noise. In this paper, a novel soft weighting approach is proposed to replace the VAD and filter coefficient adaptation strategy. The robustness of the echo canceller system is further improved through integrating it with a noise suppression algorithm. The integrated echo canceller and noise suppressor systems has shown excellent performances under double talk scenarios with SNR as low as 5 dB.

A Robust and Adaptive Line Echo Canceller
In the actual communication system, the line echo is a frequent problem, so the line echo canceller is necessary. Traditionally, the cancellers are designed according to line noises based on the Gaussian noise model. However, the noises do not obey the Gaussian distribution; therefore the performances of algorithms decrease, even cannot be used. In order to solve this problem, this paper propos...
متن کاملAn Echo Canceller Robust to Noise and Residual Echo
When we talk with hands-free in a car or noisy lobby, the performance of the echo canceller degrade because background noise added to echo caused by the distance from mouth to microphone is relatively long. It gives a reason for necessity of noise-robust and high convergence speed adaptive algorithm. And if acoustic echo canceller operated not perfectly, residual signal going through the echo c...
متن کاملA noise-robust echo canceller on V830 multimedia RISC processor integrated into a car navigation system
This paper presents a noise-robust, fast-convergence echo canceller and its implementation on a multimedia RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer). Faster convergence is achieved by introducing an improved noise power estimator for step-size control. This echo canceller has been implemented on V830 multimedia embedded RISC and has been integrated into a car navigation system. V830 provides perf...
متن کاملA Robust Acoustic Echo Canceller for Noisy Environment1
A new acoustic echo cancellation method for noisy environment is proposed and a real-time system is built. Different from the conventional acoustic echo cancellers, the proposed has a novel structure and can remove the echo effectively at low SNR. In our system, the speech with stationary noise is processed in order to separate the echo from the noise before updating the adaptive filter which i...
متن کاملA hybrid LMS-LMF scheme for echo cancellation
The coe cients of an echo canceller with a nearend section and a far-end section are usually updated with the same updating scheme, such as the LMS algorithm. In this paper we propose a novel scheme for echo cancellation that is based on the minimization of two di erent cost functions, i.e., one for the near-end section and a di erent one for the far-end section. Two approaches are addressed an...
