Abstract

See full text

System and method for producing enhanced speech data associated with at least one speaker. The process of producing the enhanced speech data comprises: receiving distant signal data from a distant acoustic sensor; receiving proximate signal data from a proximate acoustic sensor located closer to the speaker than the distant acoustic sensor; receiving optical data originating from an optical unit configured for optically detecting acoustic signals in an area of the speaker and outputting data associated with speech of the speaker; processing the distant and proximate signals data for producing a speech reference and a noise reference; operating an adaptive noise estimation module, which identifies stationary and/or transient noise signal components, using the noise reference; and operating a post filtering module, which uses the optical data, speech reference and identified noise signal components for creating an enhanced speech data.
