Dual-Microphone Spectral Subtraction

• Mobile phones are constantly decreasing in size, thereby complicating the acoustical functionality. Signal processing methods can be used to partially mitigate this problem. In this paper we suggest a method which uses multiple spectral subtraction functions and two microphones, introducing only a short signal delay. The idea is to use spectral subtraction methods to extract the noise as well as the speech during a single time-frame. The environment background noise may not be stationary, thereby limiting the method to only employ short estimates of the background noise signal. Results are presented for experiments in various environments, showing a reduced noise level in the processed signal compared with the un-processed signal, and with preserved speech quality.
