Abstract
A noise detection apparatus includes a time-frequency transform unit configured to transform an input signal from a time domain to a frequency domain to produce a spectrum, a power spectrum calculating unit configured to obtain powers of frequencies from the spectrum, a peak stationarity detecting unit configured to use peaks of the powers of frequencies in each frame to detect frequencies at which a stationary peak of the powers exists, a power stationarity detecting unit configured to use magnitudes of the powers of frequencies in each frame to detect frequencies at which the magnitudes of the powers are stationary, and a check unit configured to use the frequencies detected by the peak stationarity detecting unit and the frequencies detected by the power stationarity detecting unit to check whether there is a noise that has at least one of peak stationarity and power stationarity in the frequency domain.
