IRVINE, CA — AONDevices has announced AONDenoise™, a compact and efficient edge AI denoising technology designed for applications requiring minimal power and latency.
With 50K parameters, AONDenoise is one of the smallest denoising algorithms available, according to the company, making it an ideal AI voice enhancement for use in hearing aids, wireless earbuds, smartphones and wearables.
AONDevices has expanded its focus to include innovations in human-human interfaces, which the company says are several orders of magnitude smaller than traditional DSP noise reduction techniques and more efficient than current AI-based denoisers. At least one order of magnitude smaller. AONDenoise solutions provide customizable noise cancellation in ultra-low-power real-time processing devices such as chips used in hearing aids. The algorithm is designed to cover a wide range of noises, including chatter in a crowded restaurant, wind noise, barking dogs, crying babies, and keyboard clicks.
AONDenoise solutions have the potential to revolutionize a variety of applications such as:
- Hearing Aids: Customizable noise cancellation improves performance in different environments.
- Wireless Earbuds: Optimal audio quality in transparent mode, conversation mode and voice calls.
- Smartphones: Clearer voice quality during calls, especially in outdoor settings.
- Podcasting: Clear audio streaming even in noisy environments.
Leveraging AI and deep learning neural networks, the AONDenoise solution can distinguish between human speech and background noise. To maximize the efficiency of this neural network, AONDevices has developed a suite of specialized software tools. This allows both in-house and customer development to customize and train the system to handle specific noise environments or a wider range of noise.
AONDenoise solutions can now be integrated into 3rd party processors. For customers seeking a dedicated hardware solution, AONDevices is preparing to launch his AON2100™, a next-generation chip associated with noise reduction hardware IP, within the next few months.
