Abstract

See full text

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for reducing noise in input data by performing a hysteresis operation followed by a lateral excitation smoothing operation. For example, an audio signal may be represented as a sequence of feature vectors. A row of the sequence of feature vectors may, for example, be associated with the same harmonic of the audio signal at different points in time. To determine portions of the row that correspond to the harmonic being present, the system may compare an amplitude to a low threshold and a high threshold and select a series of data points that are above the low threshold and include at least one data point above the high threshold. The system may iteratively perform a spreading technique, spreading a center value of a center data point in a kernel to neighboring data points in the kernel, to further reduce noise.
