Abstract

Noise suppression has become a standard option for high end mobile phones. One essential component for most of these algorithms is the estimation of the noise power spectral density (PSD) of the unwanted background noise. A large number of single and dual-channel approaches that exploit a large variety of different signal properties have been presented in literature. So far, a comprehensive evaluation of these approaches in realistic and reproducible situations does not exist. In this contribution, the performance of well-known as well as recently proposed noise PSD estimators is analyzed with respect to an integration in dual-microphone mobile phones. Additionally, a new algorithm is proposed which exploits explicitly the dual-microphone configuration of state-of-the-art mobile phones and smartphones.
