A signal processor for performing signal enhancement, the signal processor comprising: an input-terminal, configured to receive an input-signaling; an output-terminal; an interference-cancellation-block configured to receive the input-signaling and to provide an interference-estimate-signaling and an interference-cancelled-signal based on the input-signaling. The signal processor further comprises a feature-block configured to provide a combination-feature-signal based on the interference-cancelled-signal and the interference-estimate-signaling; and a neural-network-block configured to apply model parameters to the combination-feature-signal to provide a neural-network-output-signal to the output-terminal.

Signal processor for signal enhancement and associated methods

A signal processor comprising a plurality of microphone-terminals configured to receive a respective plurality of microphone-signals. A plurality of beamforming-modules, each respective beamforming-module configured to receive and process input-signalling representative of some or all of the plurality of microphone-signals to provide a respective speech-reference-signal, a respective noise-reference-signal, and a beamformer output signal based on focusing a beam into a respective angular direction. A beam-selection-module comprising a plurality of speech-leakage-estimation-modules, each respective speech-leakage-estimation-module configured to receive the speech-reference-signal and the noise-reference-signal from a respective one of the plurality of beamforming-modules; and provide a respective speech-leakage-estimation-signal based on a similarity measure of the received speech-reference-signal with respect to the received noise-reference-signal. The beam-selection-module further comprises a beam-selection-controller configured to provide a control-signal based on the speech-leakage-estimation-signals.
