Abstract (en)
The method involves using a multi-layer self-organising neural network with feedback. A minima detection layer, a reaction layer, a diffusion layer and an integration layer define a filter function (F(f,T)) for noise filtering. The filter function is used to convert a spectrum B(f,T) free of noise, into a noise-free speech signal (y(t)) by inverse Fourier transformation. The signal delay caused by processing the signal is so short that the filter can operate in real-time for telecommunication. All neurons are supplied with an externally set parameter K, the size of which defines the degree of noise suppression of the whole filter. An Independent claim is included for an apparatus for noise suppression during speech transmission.
