| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a background noise estimator and a method therein, for estimation of background noise in an audio signal. The method comprises obtaining at least one parameter associated with an audio signal segment, such as a frame or part of a frame, based on a first linear prediction gain, calculated as a quotient between a residual signal from a 0th-order linear prediction and a residual signal from a 2nd-order linear prediction for the audio signal segment; and, a second linear prediction gain calculated as a quotient between a residual signal from a 2nd-order linear prediction and a residual signal from a 16th-order linear prediction for the audio signal segment. The method further comprises determining whether the audio signal segment comprises a pause based at least on the obtained at least one parameter; and, updating a background noise estimate based on the audio signal segment when the audio signal segment comprises a pause. |
