Abstract:
A sound processing apparatus includes a processor to obtain sound data and image data, wherein the sound data is collected from a sound source in a given area by a sound collection unit including a plurality of microphones and the image data is captured by an imaging unit which captures an image at least partially in the given area, to designate a direction defined relative to the sound collection unit, wherein the designated direction corresponds to a designation part on an image displayed based on the image data, to designate an arbitrary range in the given area, wherein the designated arbitrary range corresponds to a designation part on the image displayed based on the image data, and to emphasize a sound component in the sound data in the direction designated by the first designation unit within the arbitrary range designated by the second designation unit.
