Abstract

A sound pick-up operation is carried out by means of at least four microphones positioned in a plane before the speaker, linear combinations are formed by additions and subtractions of the signals from these microphones and certain of these combinations are used as noise-only sources to process them by an adaptive vector filter to produce an estimation of the noise that is subtracted from the noisy signal.
