Abstract (en)

A Signal processing method comprises the steps of - acquisition of an audio signal (A1 y(t)), - periodically digitizing the audio signal (A1 y(t)) resulting in frames (1) of the digitized audio signal (A4 y 1 (n)), - determining a noisy audio signal spectrum (A6 Y 1 (k)) for each frame (1) of the digitized audio signal (A4 y 1 (n)), - determining quantized a priori and a posteriori signal to noise ratios (A10 ¾ 1 A12 ³,( k )) depending on the noisy audio signal spectrum (A6 Y 1 (k)) for the provided discrete frequencies (k) of each frame (1), - determining for the provided discrete frequencies (k) given associated Perceptual scale gain values A ¢ 28 ¢ G VAD Bark m dependent on the quantized a priori and a posteriori signal to noise ratios (A14 ¾ 1 ( k ), A16 ³ l ( k )), the given Perceptual scale gain values A ¢ 28 ¢ G VAD Bark m being provided on a Perceptual scale for respective Perceptual scale subbands (m), - multiplying the respective spectral values of the noisy audio signal spectrum (A6 Y 1 (k)) of the respective frame (1) with the determined respective Perceptual scale gain values A ¢ 28 ¢ G VAD Bark m resulting in estimated wanted spectrum values (A50 X 1 ( k )) and - determining an estimated digitized wanted signal (A48 x 1 ( n )) dependent on the estimated wanted spectrum values (A50).
