Method and system for identifying speech sound and non-speech sound in an environment

摘要

In a method and system for identifying speech sound and non-speech sound in an environment, a speech signal and other non-speech signals are identified from a mixed sound source having a plurality of channels. The method includes the following steps: (a) using a blind source separation (BSS) unit to separate the mixed sound source into a plurality of sound signals; (b) storing spectrum of each of the sound signals; (c) calculating spectrum fluctuation of each of the sound signals in accordance with stored past spectrum information and current spectrum information sent from the blind source separation unit; and (d) identifying one of the sound signals that has a largest spectrum fluctuation as the speech signal.
