Cancellation of non-stationary interfering signals for speech recognition

摘要

System for cancellation of non-stationary interfering signals, particularly for use for mitigating effects of such interferers produced by in-car entertainment (ECAD) devices for speech recognition applications. The system spectrally analyses signals output by the ECAD before and after they are passed through an in-car acoustic channel. A model of the acoustic channel is built by the system's algorithm. For speech recognition the model is spectrally subtracted from a signal received at a microphone in order to recover a wanted speech signal. The acoustic channel model is built by estimating frequency domain acoustic transfer functions between each loudspeaker used by the ECAD and the microphone.
