Abstract
A system including first and second gain modules, an operator module, and a priori and posteriori modules. The first gain module applies a non-linear function to generate a gain signal based on an amplitude of a first speech signal and an estimated a priori variance of noise included in the first speech signal. The operator module generates an operator based on the gain signal and the estimated a priori variance of noise. The a priori module determines an a priori signal-to-noise ratio based on the operator. The posteriori module determines a posteriori signal-to-noise ratio based on the amplitude of the first speech signal and (ii) the estimated a priori variance of noise. The second gain module: determines a gain value based on the a priori signal-to-noise ratio and the a posteriori signal-to-noise ratio; and generates, based on the amplitude of the first speech signal and the gain value, a second speech signal that corresponds to an estimate of an amplitude of the first speech signal, where the second speech signal is substantially void of music noise.
