Stereophonic acoustic echo cancellation system using time-varying all-pass filtering for signal decorrelation

چکیده
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 channels). However, in stereophonic AEC systems, the correlation between the stereo signals does not allow correct identification of the echo path responses. In this paper, we develop a signal decorrelation technique based on time-varying all-pass filtering of the individual stereo signals. Experiments show that this technique does not effect the perception of the stereo signals, but identifies the echo path responses correctly.

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...
