Spectral subtraction is a noise reduction technique that estimates the power spectrum of additive noise (from noise-only segments or clean speech segments), subtracts this noise estimate from the noisy signal spectrum using an over-subtraction factor, applies a spectral floor to avoid negative values, and reconstructs the cleaned signal via inverse FFT. Parameters: noise estimation method, over-subtraction factor (typically 1-4x), spectral floor level.

Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition of spectral-subtraction carves well: specifies parameters (noise-only segments, additive noise model), mechanism (estimate noise spectrum, subtract, reconstruct), and persistence (used in DSP libraries and audio processing). Ends with proper trailer.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition of spectral-subtraction carves well: states parameters (noise estimation, power spectrum, subtraction), persistence mechanism (computational algorithm), and includes proper trailer. Accurately describes the technique.
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition carves: specifies the technique (estimates noise power spectrum from noise-only segments, subtracts from noisy signal, reconstructs). Law 4 satisfied. The definition is clear and specific.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition of spectral-subtraction properly carves: states the technique (estimate noise from noise-only segments, subtract from noisy spectrum), persistence mechanism (algorithmic procedure). Clear parameters. Law 4 compliant.
