A pre-processing system of a signal of interest in an automatic speech
recognition system in a vehicle, includes an acoustic sensor to sense the
signal of interest, a non acoustic sensor to sense a non acoustic noise
signal, a pre-processing unit of the signal of interest, comprising a
processing section of coherent frequency bands signals for suppressing
the noise from the received signal, a processing section of non coherent
frequency bands signals, comprising transfer function estimation device
of a signal through the vehicle cabin, and a methods selection section
for determining the coherence properties of the received signal, and for
selecting the processing section of coherent frequency bands signals or
the processing section of non coherent frequency bands signals depending
on the result of the properties of the received signal.
