Noise filtering

Introduced: January 2013

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Speech or voice signal processing techniques to produce another audible or non-audible signal, e.g. visual or tactile, in order to modify its quality or its intelligibility > Speech enhancement, e.g. noise reduction or echo cancellation > Noise filtering

CPC:

Speech or voice signal processing techniques to produce another audible or non-audible signal, e.g. visual or tactile, in order to modify its quality or its intelligibility (G10L19/00 takes precedence) > Speech enhancement, e.g. noise reduction or echo cancellation (reducing echo effects in line transmission systems H04B3/20; echo suppression in hands-free telephones H04M9/08) > Noise filtering

CPC subdivides this area 3x more granularly than IPC with 3 additional codes.

3 codes are CPC-only extensions.

Note: 3 CPC extensions are marked as secondary classification only.

IPC defines codes here since 2013.
