A METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING A VOICE ACTIVITY DETECTION

摘要

A voice activity detection apparatus (1) for determining a voice activity detection decision (VADD) for an input audio signal, wherein the voice activity detection apparatus (1) comprises a state detector (2) adapted to determine a current working state (WS) of at least two different working states of the voice activity detection apparatus (1) dependent on the input audio signal wherein each of the at least two different working states (WS) is associated with a corresponding working state parameter decision set (WSPDS) including at least one voice activity decision parameter (VADP) and a voice activity calculator (3) adapted to calculate a voice activity detection parameter value for the at least one VADP of the working state parameter decision set (WSPDS) associated with the current working state (WS) and to determine the voice activity detection decision (VADD) by comparing the calculated voice activity detection parameter value of the respective voice activity decision parameter (VADP) with a threshold.
