Spectral subtraction using reduced delay convolution and adaptive averaging.

In hands-free speech communication, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is often poor, which makes it difficult to have a relaxed conversation. By using noise suppression, the conversation quality can be improved. This paper describes a noise suppression algorithm based on spectral subtraction. The meth...
