Abstract
The method disclosed comprises the steps of: cutting up the signal into frames, sampling each frame to obtain a digital signal comprising a determined number n of samples, pre-emphasizing the digital signal, filtering the pre-emphasized digital signal by means of a high-pass digital filter to obtain a filtered digital signal, measuring, in each frame, the maximum energy of the pre-emphasized signal and the maximum energy of the filtered digital signal, to achieve an energy ratio R between the maximum energy of the filtered digital signal and the maximum energy of the pre-emphasized digital signal. The method also comprises the steps of computing, between two limits, the mean long-term values of the maximum value of the energy of the filtered signal and of the energy ratio and of computing, on the basis of the mean long-term values, four threshold values, two of them being maximum values, forming two lower limits of the speech state for the filtered signal and the energy ratio respectively, and two of them being minimum signals, forming two upper limits of the noise state for the filtered signal and the energy ratio respectively, to compare, with these threshold values, the maximum energy of the filtered signal and the energy ratio, to decide on the presence of the vocal signal in the noise-infested signal when the maximum energy of the filtered digital signal, or the energy ratio, is respectively greater than their maximum threshold values.
