Method and system for canceling echoes and noises in environments with
variable acoustic conditions and high feedback, such as the interior of
an automotive vehicle, permitting audible communication between the
occupants, comprising one/several microphone/s (1) for a speech signal
(5) and A/D, D/A converters, amplification and filtering means generating
an electric signal (13) reproduced as an acoustic signal (7) by a speaker
(3), and an echo canceller (15) using said signal (13) and an electric
signal (10) from the microphone integrating the feedback of said signal
(7), another speech signal (5) and noise (9) seized by the microphone
(1), the system (15) being applied to eliminating said feedback, the
proposed method and system providing an additional filtering of an
electric output signal (11) of the canceling device (15), after treatment
of said signal, comprising a time variant filter that suppresses the
residual acoustic echo not cancelled by the system (15) and the noise
seized by said microphone/s (1).
