Frequency division, energy comparison signal processing system
First Claim
1. A frequency division, energy comparison signal processing system for detecting the presence of, and separating the contributions from, sources that compose a wide-band sound signal, comprising:
- means for dividing at least part of a wide-band sound signal into a plurality of discrete narrow frequency band components;
means for generating the energy envelope of each of the narrow band components;
means for normalizing each said envelope;
means for multiplying each normalized envelope with each of the other normalized envelopes to obtain a plurality of envelope correlation coefficients for each frequency band component; and
means for identifying a sound source seed frequency band for determining sound signal frequency components associated with a sound source.

Abstract
A frequency division, energy comparison signal processing system for detecting the presence of, and separating the contributions from, sources that compose a wide-band sound signal, in which the system divides at least part of the wide-band sound signal into a number of discrete narrow frequency band components, generates the energy envelope of each of those components, normalizes the envelopes, multiplies each normalized envelope with each of the other normalized envelopes to obtain a plurality of envelope correlation coefficients for each frequency band, and then identifies from the correlation coefficients a sound source seed frequency band component and then, using the seed, identifies the remaining frequency components of a sound source.
