Automatic filtering method and device
An automatic filtering method includes: a step of analyzing an input signal so as to obtain a frequency spectrum of the input signal; and a step of selecting, on the basis of the frequency spectrum, at least one filter from among a plurality of preset filters and filtering the input signal. The step of selecting includes determining, on the basis of the frequency spectrum of, a signal type in the input signal; selecting, on a basis of the signal type, a corresponding filter corresponding to the signal type; filtering the input signal with use of a first parameter of the corresponding filter and setting a second parameter for the corresponding filter on a basis of a result of the filtering; and filtering the input signal with use of the second parameter set for the corresponding filter. The method may ensure a filtering effect against noise.
