ABSTRACT:
A unified, nonlinear, non-stationary, stochastic model is disclosed for estimating and removing effects of background noise on speech cepstra. Generally stated, the model is a union of dynamic system equations for speech and noise, and a model describing how speech and noise are mixed. Embodiments also pertain to related methods for enhancement.
