Perceptually-Motivated Nonlinear Channel Decorrelation For Stereo Acoustic Echo Cancellation
Acoustic echo cancellation with stereo signals is generally an underdetermined problem because of the high coherence between the left and right channels. In this paper, we present a novel method of significantly reducing inter-channel coherence without affecting the audio quality. Our work takes into account psychoacoustic masking and binaural auditory cues. The proposed non-linear processing combines a shaped comb-allpass (SCAL) filter with the injection of psychoacoustically masked noise. We show that the proposed method performs significantly better than other known methods for reducing inter-channel coherence.
