Abstract:
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for voice processing in an audio device having an array of a plurality of microphones wherein the array is capable of having a plurality of positional orientations relative to a user of the array, is provided. The method may include periodically computing a plurality of normalized cross-correlation functions, each cross-correlation function corresponding to a possible orientation of the array with respect to a desired source of speech, determining an orientation of the array relative to the desired source based on the plurality of normalized cross-correlation functions, detecting changes in the orientation based on the plurality of normalized cross-correlation functions, and responsive to a change in the orientation, dynamically modifying voice processing parameters of the audio device such that speech from the desired source is preserved while reducing interfering sounds.
