Problems solved by technology

[0007] Since the conventional dialogue enhancement system uses many filter banks in the spectrum analyzer 42 to analyze frequencies, the calculation for this analysis process is very large, and since the gain of the formant is controlled by the VCA unit 50, the speech signal Envelope becomes distorted

Abstract

A dialog enhancement method and device for enhancing the formant of the dialog area without changing the voice area, comprising: calculating line spectral pair (LSP) coefficients based on linear predictive coding (LPC) from an input signal; determining based on the calculated LSP coefficients Whether there is a speech region in the input signal; and extracting formants from LSP coefficients according to whether there is a speech region, and lifting the formants.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 2003-82976 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on November 21, 2003, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] The general concept of the present invention relates to a dialogue enhancement system, and in particular to a dialogue enhancement method and device for enhancing the formant of a dialogue area without changing the sound area. Background technique [0003] In general, dialogue enhancement systems improve the intelligibility of dialogue that is reduced by background noise. Traditional dialogue enhancement systems use equalizers and clipping circuits to boost volume only. However, equalizers and clipping circuits amplify dialogue along with background noise. [0004] A conventional dialogue enhancement system is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,459,813 to Klayman, entitled "public address i...
