TALKER COLLISIONS IN AN AUDITORY SCENE

摘要

From a plurality of received voice signals, a signal interval in which there is a talker collision between at least a first and a second voice signal is detected. A processor receives a positive detection result and processes, in response to this, at least one of the voice signals with the aim of making it perceptually distinguishable. A mixer mixes the voice signals to supply an output signal, wherein the processed signal(s) replaces the corresponding received signals. In example embodiments, signal content is shifted away from the talker collision in frequency or in time. The invention may be useful in a conferencing system.
