Speech and Audio Processing in Adverse Environments

 

Eberhard Hänsler, Gerhard Schmidt
ISBN:   978-3540706014  
Publication:   August 2008  
Publisher:   Springer  

 

The book reflects the state of the art in important areas of speech and audio signal processing. It presents topics which are missed so far and most recent findings in the field. Leading international experts report on their field of work and their new results.

Considerable amount of space is covered by multi-microphone systems, specific approaches for noise reduction, and evaluations of speech signals and speech processing systems.

Multi-microphone systems include automatic calibration of microphones, localisation of sound sources, and source separation procedures. Also covered are recent approaches to the problem of adaptive echo and noise suppression. A novel solution allows the design of filter banks exhibiting bands spaced according to the Bark scale und especially short delay times. Furthermore, a method for engine noise reduction and proposals for improving the signal/noise ratio based on partial signal reconstruction or using a noise reference are reported. A number of contributions deal with speech quality. Besides basic considerations for quality evaluation specific methods for bandwidth extension of telephone speech are described. Procedures to reduce the reverberation of audio signals can help to increase speech intelligibility and speech recognition rates.

In addition, solutions for specific applications in speech and audio signal processing are reported including, e.g., the enhancement of audio signal reproduction in automobiles and the automatic evaluation of hands-free systems and hearing aids.

 

Topics in Acoustic Echo and Noise Control

 

Eberhard Hänsler, Gerhard Schmidt
ISBN:   B017TGV7RC  
Publication:   November 2006  
Publisher:   Springer  

 

In this book, an international team of highly qualified experts treats important topics in acoustic echo and noise control and reports the latest developments. Methods for enhancing the quality of speech signals are gaining growing attention in universities and in industrial development laboratories.

This book is organized in five parts: Part I gives a short introduction to acoustic echo and noise control. Part II deals with multi-microphone processing. In Part III, advanced methods for both linear and nonlinear echo cancellation are presented, and techniques for intelligent control of hands-free telephones are introduced. Part IV is devoted to noise reduction procedures. An in-depth treatment of conventional and of advanced methods is given, followed by a model based approach using Kalman filters. Finally, in Part V, selected applications of acoustic echo and noise control as well as speech and audio processing in general are outlined. Topics such as auditory scene analysis, wave field synthesis for spatial sound reproduction, in-car communication systems, and hearing aids are treated.

 

Acoustic Echo and Noise Control: A Practical Approach

 

Eberhard Hänsler, Gerhard Schmidt
ISBN:   978-0-471-45346-8  
Publication:   June 2004  
Publisher:   Wiley-IEEE Press  

 

Today’s voice communication systems, with their increasing demand for user comfort, necessitate a growing focus on acoustic noise suppression and echo reduction. Drawing on the results of a twenty-year career with the Signal Theory Group at Darmstadt University of Technology, Darmstadt, Germany, Acoustic Echo and Noise Control: A Practical Approach addresses proven methods for suppressing acoustic echoes and noise in various sound systems, from hands-free telephones to video conferencing systems, hearing aids, and speech recognition systems.

With emphasis on single-channel systems, the authors, both recognized experts in the field, deliver a combination of theoretical research and practical solutions to acoustical problems across a broad range of industries. In addition to presenting a detailed description of practical methods for controlling acoustic echoes and noise, they also develop a theory for optimal control parameters and present practical estimation and approximation methods.

Some of the topics covered include:

  • Basic algorithms for filtering, linear prediction, and adaptation of filter coefficients
  • Application of these algorithms to acoustic echo cancellation and residual echo and noise suppression
  • Estimation of nonmeasurable quantities necessary to control algorithms
  • Devising control structures based on these quantities

Requiring only a basic knowledge of linear systems theory and digital signal processing, this text offers an ideal resource for students, researchers, and systems engineers seeking to familiarize themselves with the latest developments and practical applications in this fascinating field.

Visit of the Hans Böckler Foundation

The Hans Böckler Foundation offers students not only financial support, but also a wide range of seminars. We had the pleasure of taking part in an exciting seminar on the topic of ‘Data channels in the seabed - insights into the underwater infrastructure of the future’. We spent one day at the Faculty of Engineering at Kiel University. We were given presentations on various topics. Such as the geology of the seabed and the submarine cable incident between Finland and Estonia.

We were particularly impressed by the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes and experience the work of the students and researchers up close. We were allowed to visit the clean room and the special ‘paddling pool’ where experiments are tested directly in water. We were deeply impressed by the university and its diverse research opportunities. Thank you very much for your hospitality and the exciting insights!
