Abstract
Disclosed herein is a noise cancellation apparatus and method, which select in advance parameters to be used for noise cancellation in a reference voice signal section by generating a reference voice signal in advance before a voice signal is generated, thus improving noise cancellation effects. The noise cancellation apparatus includes a parameter initialization unit for determining an initial value of a parameter to be used for noise cancellation, based on reference signals filtered for respective frequencies, a parameter estimation unit for receiving the initial value of the parameter, and estimating the parameter in response to signals that are input after being filtered for respective frequencies, a gain estimation unit for calculating gains for respective frequencies based on the parameter from the parameter estimation unit, and a gain application unit for cancelling noise by applying the gains to the signals that are input after being filtered for respective frequencies.
