Abstract

For canceling acoustic echoing, a processor receives audio signals comprising a speaker output and an ambient input. The processor further calculates separated output signals from mixed signals using a separating transfer function. The processor calculates a criterion function based on the separated output signals. In addition, the processor calculates an acoustic echo transfer function based on maximizing the a criterion function. The processor separates a source signal from the audio signal using the acoustic echo transfer function.
