Problems solved by technology

For example, a distributed intelligent hardware device with only single-ended operation authority cannot achieve synchronous resampling of the reference signal and the microphone signal. For example, in daily households, the TV box is used to control the TV. Since the TV box and the TV are mostly provided by different manufacturers, Assume that as a TV box manufacturer, in the voice control of the TV box, it is necessary to perform echo cancellation on the sound played by the TV, and at this time only has the operation authority of the TV box, that is, it can only obtain the source signal transmitted from the TV box to the TV and the microphone of the TV box Collecting signals, among them, the source signal sent by the TV box to the TV is used as a reference signal, and the signal collected by the microphone of the TV box is used as a microphone signal. It is impossible to re-sample the speaker signal and the microphone signal synchronously. At this time, it is necessary to estimate the reference signal and the microphone signal. The delay of the signal, and then realize the echo cancellation according to the delay
[0004] It can be seen that the accuracy of time delay estimation directly affects the effect of echo cancellation. Due to the complex and changeable environment in actual application scenarios, the existing echo cancellation technology based on time delay estimation has a large error in time delay estimation, and the effect of echo cancellation is relatively large. still needs to be improved

example 1

[0109] Example 1: Select the position corresponding to the frame with the largest cross-correlation among the calculated reference signal and the cross-correlation of each frame microphone signal as the current delay position, and determine the current delay according to the current delay position and the position of the reference signal estimated value.

[0110] For example, taking the current reference signal frame as the benchmark, assuming that the reference signal is the 50th frame, there are 30 frames of microphone signals in the delay analysis range, which are the 20th-50th frames of microphone signals respectively, and these 30 frames of microphone signals are respectively compared with the 50th frame Compared with the reference signal, if the cross-correlation between the reference signal of the current 50th frame and the microphone signal of the 25th frame is the largest, then the estimated value of the current time delay is 50-25=25. Of course, if the number of fram...

Abstract

The invention discloses an echo cancellation method and device based on time delay estimation. The method includes: acquiring a microphone signal and a reference signal, and performing preprocessing; A frequency point signal in a linear condition; calculate and obtain a current time delay estimated value based on the microphone signal and a frequency point signal without a nonlinear condition in the reference signal; move the reference signal based on the current time delay estimated value; according to preprocessing After the microphone signal and the reference signal after moving, the adaptive filter is updated to realize echo cancellation. By using the invention, the accuracy of time delay estimation can be improved, and the echo cancellation effect can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of signal processing, in particular to an echo cancellation method and device based on time delay estimation. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of information technology, all kinds of distributed intelligent hardware are widely used in various fields. As an indispensable link in the interaction of smart devices, echo cancellation has always been a research hotspot for technicians in related fields. [0003] Echo cancellation is a processing method that prevents the far-end sound from returning by eliminating or removing the far-end audio signal picked up by the local microphone. The existing typical echo cancellation scheme is based on the time delay estimation method, and the calculation reference The linear correlation relationship between the signal and the microphone signal, and the time delay corresponding to the maximum cross-correlation is selected as the device time delay, and the ...
