Title: Adaptive block matrix using pre-whitening for adaptive beam forming
Inventor: Samuel p ebenezer
IPC: H04R3/00
Filed: 2015-11-05
Abstract: An adaptive filter of an adaptive blocking matrix in an adaptive beam former or null former may be modified to track and maintain noise correlation between an input and a reference noise signal to the adaptive noise canceller module. That is, a noise correlation factor may be determined, and that noise correlation factor may be used in an inter-sensor signal model applied when generating the blocking matrix output signal. The output signal may then be further processed within the adaptive beamformer to generate a less-noisy representation of the speech signal received at the microphones. The inter-sensor signal model may be estimated using a gradient decent total least squares (GrTLS) algorithm. Further, spatial pre-whitening may be applied in the adaptive blocking matrix to further improve noise reduction.
