Abstract
Speech portions of a sound model may be identified using various statistics associated with the sound model for voice enhancement of noisy audio signals. A spectral motion transform may be performed on an input signal to obtain a linear fit in time of a sound model of the input signal. Statistics may be extracted from the linear fit of the sound model of the input signal. Speech portions of the linear fit of the sound model of the input signal may be identified by detecting a presence of harmonics as a function of time in the linear fit of the sound model of the input signal based on individual ones of the extracted statistics. An output signal may be provided that conveys audio comprising a reconstructed speech component of the input signal with a noise component of the input signal being suppressed.
