Noise Eliminating Apparatus

Abstract

A noise eliminating apparatus includes a first microphone, a second microphone and a signal processing unit, the signal processing unit includes a linear prediction filter and a noise resynthesis filter, the linear prediction filter receives an output signal of the first microphone, predicts the output signal of the first microphone by linear prediction and generates a prediction signal, and the noise resynthesis filter is an adaptive filter which receives, as a main input signal, a first difference signal obtained by subtracting one of the output signal of the first microphone and the prediction signal from the other, receives, as an error signal, a second difference signal obtained by subtracting one of an output signal of the second microphone and an output signal of the noise resynthesis filter itself from the other, and updates a filter coefficient so that the error signal is minimized.
