We present and compare residual echo power spectral estimation techniques. Residual echo arises in hands-free telephony equipment due to insufficient echo cancellation performance. The residual echo power spectral density is very important to control combined residual echo and noise postfiltering. Eventually, we introduce a new partitioned block-adaptive estimation technique delivering considerably improved estimates in reverberant and noisy double talk environments.
