Multi-Channel Noise/Echo Reduction in PulseAudio on Embedded Linux
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ambient noise and acoustic echo reduction are indispensable signal processing steps in a hands-free audio communication system. Taking the signals from multiple microphones into account can help to more effectively reduce disturbing noise and echo. This paper outlines the design and implementation of a multi-channel noise reduction and echo cancellation module integrated in the PulseAudio sound system. We discuss requirements, trade-offs and results obtained from an embedded Linux platform.

Combined acoustic echo and noise reduction using GSVD-based optimal filtering
This paper describes two schemes for combining acoustic echo and noise reduction using a GSVD-based optimal filtering technique. The GSVD-based filtering technique is a signal enhancement technique which has recently been proposed for noise reduction in multi-microphone speech signals. In many speech communication applications however also a far-end echo source is present. Therefore a combined ...
متن کاملStudy on combining multi-channel echo cancellers with beamformers
In this paper, we will compare different combinations of a multi-channel non-adaptive noise reduction unit (NRU) and an acoustic echo cancellation unit (AEC) for a standard single-channel voice transmission. The results show that the NRU and the AEC-unit can be interchanged without increasing the computational complexity of the combined system. The length of an AEC’s adaptive filter can be grea...

In mobile communications, speech is often degraded by ambient noise and acoustic echo. Both problems have attracted a high level of research interest over the last decades. Recently dual channel solutions for noise reduction have been investigated and can yield better performance than single channel solutions. This paper presents an analysis of the echo problem based on recordings with a handsf...

متن کاملEffect of Phase-Encoding Reduction on Geometric Distortion and BOLD Signal Changes in fMRI
Introduction Echo-planar imaging (EPI) is a group of fast data acquisition methods commonly used in fMRI studies. It acquires multiple image lines in k-space after a single excitation, which leads to a very short scan time. A well-known problem with EPI is that it is more sensitive to distortions due to the used encoding scheme. Source of distortion is inhomogeneity in the static B0 field that ...
