Abstract
A method, system, and computer program for enhancing a signal are presented. The signal is received, and energy estimates of the signal may be determined. At least one characteristic of the signal may be inferred based on the energy estimates. A mask may be generated based, in part, on the at least one characteristic. In turn, the mask may be applied to the signal to produce an enhanced signal, which may be outputted.
