We present a novel noise power estimation method based on smoothed spectral minima tracking and subtractive blocking matrix for dual-channel speech enhancement. By combining spectral characteristics of the noisy mixture signals with spatial null beam-forming, noise over- and under-estimation problem can be substantially mitigated. The proposed noise estimation tested on the real-life nonstationary noise conditions outperformed other single-channel noise estimation based on minima tracking and dual-channel phase error based enhancement algorithm.
