Sb2micICv1

Overview

Cancel external interfering sound for Voice UI application

Discussion

DSP Concepts proprietary 2-mic Interfering Sound Canceler module. This module works in conjunction with the WOLA filterbank modules. The module has two two-channel frequency-domain audio input pins and one control pin. The first pin is two-microphone signals and the second pin is two end-fire beamforming signals. The third pin is keyword trigger flag. The module has two output pins. The first pin is mono interfering sound canceler output and the second pin is stereo interfering sound canceler output signals. If keyword trigger status is not available, connect DC source int with value of zero to the third input pin.

The module operates on any block size and any sampling rate. At instantiation time, the maximum tail length and latency are specfied in millisecond unit. At run time, actual tail length and latency are specified in millisecond unit.

The module analyzes external interfering sound and cancels it from microphone signal while preserving keyword utterances.

Matlab Usage

File Name: sb_2mic_IC_v1_module.m 
 M = sb_2mic_IC_v1_module(NAME) 
 Creates a 2-mic interfering sound canceler module which cancels external 
 interfering sound in microphone signal with using two microphones. Arguments: 
   NAME - name of the module. 
   MAXTAIL - maximum tail length of the internal adaptive filter.  This is 
     specified in units of msec and defaults to 128. 
   MAXLATENCY - Lookahead switching latency allowing the algorithm to 
     settle.  In units of msec and this defaults to 50. 
   SR - sample of the corresponding time domain signal.  Defaults to 
     16000.
