A method for effectively suppressing background noise in a speech detection system comprises a filter bank for separating source speech data into discrete frequency sub-bands to generate filtered channel energy, and a noise suppressor for weighting the frequency sub-bands to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the resultant noise-suppressed channel energy. The noise suppressor preferably includes a subspace module for using a Karhunen-Loeve transformation to create a subspace based on the background noise, a projection module for generating projected channel energy by projecting the filtered channel energy onto the created subspace, and a weighting module for applying calculated weighting values to the projected channel energy to generate the noise-suppressed channel energy. |
