Noise reduction in B-format recordings is particularly challenging as it concurrently requires to suppress undesired signals and preserve the spatial properties of the acoustic environment. In particular, wind noise poses an undesirable acoustic condition outdoors. In this work, methods to reduce wi…
A deep neural network (DNN) based approach for estimating the speed of airflows using closely-spaced microphones is proposed. The spatial characteristics of wind noise measured with a smallaperture array are exploited, i.e., the low-frequency spatial coherence of wind noise signals is used as an inp…
Outdoor recordings of speech are often corrupted by wind noise, which is difficult to reduce due to its high non-stationarity. In this work, a multi-channel wind noise reduction method is presented, based on a joint estimation of the speech and wind noise power spectral densities. In contrast to exi…
