similar to: small patch for preprocess

I'm not sure if this is due to the same problem, but I get the same clipping behavior when trying to use VAD+denoiser on a particular mic+speaker setup that has significant background noise (enough to really foul up the codec should the denoiser be turned off.) Leaving VAD off and transmitting continuously seems to be the only way to avoid this clipping. Another person I regularly

Hi Jean Marc & List, So I have been fiddling with the denoiser (again). While poking around I noticed that nb_preprocess is basically a counter that is mod-ded with 100 (the default), which causes Smin[] to be re- seeded with the value in Stmp[] (min of the previous adaptation period). Smin[] is then used to update the noise probability, which is (probably) less likely when adaptation

Jean Marc, I have been fiddling around with preprocess to try to get it sounding less metallic/underwater- so based on some things said recently, I have been first fiddling with mean_post and mean_prior to try to get them to do change the update rate, so that update_noise gets called at the right times. Haven't made it too deep into the code, but I have a few questions in speex_preprocess:

Jean Marc, Thanks for the advice. The estimate update may come in handy. I have had some time to play with the adaptation time. I tried making the adaptation time 80, 160 and 320. It seemed like the smaller value was actually the best in my initial testing, but I need to test this against a more noisy setup than I have here. I am guessing that for vad a shorter adaptation time is probably

Steve, The main problem I am having with the system is clipping off the start of someone's speech when they first start talking- the ends of the sentences seem to be handled properly. I am wondering whether this is the fault of the audio playback system or whether this is a speex issue- I also get the musical artifacts problem with the denoiser. This seems to be more of a problem on open

Jean Marc & list, Following up on this- there seems to be an issue with this calculation in mdf.c (Smooth echo energy estimate over time) Pey += Eh*Yh; Pyy += Yh*Yh; it goes too large for floating point, which seems to be caused by extremely large values in st->Rf[j], st->Yf[j] and smaller values in st->Eh[j], st->Yh[j]- things were relatively quiet

Hello The st->zeta pointer isn't freed in the speex_preprocess_state_destroy() function of the preprocess.c file (alloced in line 167). It's in Speex 1.1.4 by the way. I'm trying to make the denoiser work with my application and has got reasonable noise reduction after applying the denoiser. I, however, haven't been able to find any information of what the purpose of

Pretty complicated because of some annoying decisions taken by the gcc team. The problem is that gcc won't let you use

Hi everyone, I'm currently attempting to move Speex development over to Git. Because Git is distributed, I means that anyone would be able to do development and commits without having to get write access (and I can just pull from them). There are of course other advantages, like sane handling of branches and tags, local history, ... Now, one of the disadvantages is that Git currently

Hey, thanks for sharing this information. If this is true, it could explain some intermittent problems I've had, since I do encoding and decoding in separate threads. I assumed that Speex was thread-safe because there doesn't seem to be a connection between the encoder and decoder, and the encoder and decoder require separate states for different streams. I'm curious to know

Not a big deal, but the "<http://xiph.org/svn.html>Subversion Access" link on http://www.speex.org/download.html page should probably point to: http://www.xiph.org/svn/ rather than: http://xiph.org/svn.html Tom ______________________________________________ Tom Harper Lead Software Engineer SightSpeed - <http://www.sightspeed.com/>http://www.sightspeed.com/ 918 Parker

Jean-Marc, So I saw in the latest code that the vad in the preprocessor is gone/going to be re-written. Is there a plan as far as this goes? Just wondering as the current one seems to work pretty well. Thanks!

Hi, So I got a crash on the following code: k1=SUBMODE(lpc_enh_k1); k2=SUBMODE(lpc_enh_k2); which in the newer codebase is: bw_lpc(SUBMODE(lpc_enh_k1), st->interp_qlpc, awk1, st->lpcSize); bw_lpc(SUBMODE(lpc_enh_k2), st->interp_qlpc, awk2, st->lpcSize); I am not sure if the newer code will have the same issue but the following check is

Totally possible- this is the first time this has happened that I know of in many many hours of usage- On the other hand, this null check isn't in my code base and it was in nb_decode_lost, and nb_encode- so I figured it was just an oversight- Tom
