Abstract

See full text

The noise suppressor utilizes statistical characteristics of the noise signal to attenuate amplitude values of the noisy speech signal that have a probability of containing noise. In one embodiment, the noise suppressor utilizes an attenuation function having a shape determined in part by a noise average and a noise standard deviation. In a further embodiment, the noise suppressor also utilizes an adaptive attenuation coefficient that depends on signal-to-noise conditions in the speech recognition system.
