- 22 Dec 1998
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for performing noise suppression and channel equalization of a noisy voice signal comprising the steps of sampling the noisy voice signals at a predetermined sampling rate f s, segmenting the sampled voice signals into a plurality of frames having a predetermined number of samples per frame, over a predetermined temporal window, generating an N-point spectral sample representation of each of the sample signal frames, determining the magnitude of each spectral samples and generating a histogram of the energy associated with each of spectral samples at a particular frequency, detecting a peak amplitude of the histogram which corresponds to a
