A new robust double-talk detector based on the Stockwell transform for acoustic echo cancellation.

Despite great developments in the field of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), the presence of double-talk remains difficult problem. The main role of double-talk detection (DTD) is to control adaptation of the filter coefficients by halting their update in double-talk situations. In this paper, we propose a new method of DTD based on a time–frequency analysis that uses the Stockwell transform (ST).
