Abstract

In this paper, we propose a residual echo and noise reduction scheme by using linear predictor for hands-free telephony applications. The proposed scheme whitens residual echo by the linear prediction during the non double-talk. But whitened residual echo signal still has speech characteristics. In this scheme, the whitened residual echo signal is more whitened by using the power of the linear prediction error signal and the linear predicted signal. After whitening process, near-end speech and ambient noise is present during double-talk but white noise will appear during non double-talk situation. By linearly predicting again the combined signal of the near-end speech and the whitened signal, the ambient noise is removed. Through computer simulation, it is shown that the proposed method performs well at the side of AIC (acoustic interference cancellation).

본 논문에서는 핸즈프리 전화통신를 위한 선형예측기를 이용한 잔여반향 및 잡음제거구조를 제안하다. 제안하는 구조는 비동시통화구간의 잔여반향신호를 선형예측하여 백색화시킨다. 선형예측에 의해 백색화된 잔여반향신호에는 여전히 음성성분이 남아있다. 제안된 구조는 선형예측오차신호와 선형예측신호의 전력을 이용하여 백색화된 신호를 더욱 더 백색화시킨다. 이러한 백색화 과정을 거치면 동시통화구간에는 근단화자음성과 주변 잡음이 존재하고, 비동시통화구간에는 백색잡음이 존재하게 된다. 근단화자음성과 백색화된 신호를 결합하여 다시 선형예측기에 통과시켜 배경잡음을 추가로 제거한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 방법이 AIC (acoustic interference cancellation) 측면에서 우수함을 보인다.
