Class of double-talk detectors based on the holder inequality

Most of the echo cancellers are equipped with a double-talk detector (DTD) in order to control the behavior of the adaptive filter during double-talk situations. In this paper, we propose a class of DTDs based on the Holder inequality. These DTDs are simple to implement, have low computational complexity, and perform well even for low echo-to-noise ratios. As a particular case, it is shown that the well-known Geigel algorithm can be obtained from this approach.
