Abstract

A parameter estimation method for inactive voice signals and a system thereof and comfort noise generation method and system are disclosed. The method includes: for an inactive voice signal frame, performing time-frequency transform on a sequence of time domain signals containing the inactive voice signal frame to obtain a frequency spectrum sequence, calculating frequency spectrum coefficients according to the frequency spectrum sequence, performing smooth processing on the frequency spectrum coefficients, obtaining a smoothly processed frequency spectrum sequence according to the smoothly processed frequency spectrum coefficients, performing inverse time-frequency transform on the smoothly processed frequency spectrum sequence to obtain a reconstructed time domain signal, and estimating an inactive voice signal parameter according to the reconstructed time domain signal to obtain a frequency spectrum parameter and an energy parameter. With the present solution, it can provide stable background noise parameters in a comfort noise generation system at decoding.
