Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus for reducing impulsive interferences in a signal, without necessarily ascertaining a pitch frequency in the signal, detect onsets of the impulsive interferences by searching a spectrum of high-energy components for large temporal derivatives that are correlated along frequency and extend from a very low frequency up, possibly to about several kHz. The energies of the impulsive interferences are estimated, and these estimates are used to suppress the impulsive interferences. Optionally, techniques are employed to protect desired speech signals from being corrupted as a result of the suppression of the impulsive interferences.
