    Abstract: A sound processing system operative to measure the level of diffusivity of the sounds present in the input sound signal. The system includes a plurality of input channels for receiving audio signals from an audio scene, the audio scene comprising at least one target sound in the presence of background noise. A diffusivity measurement unit is included so as to be operably coupled to the plurality of input channels to receive the audio signals therefrom and measure a level of diffusivity of the sounds present therein. A leveler unit is operably coupled to the plurality of input channels for receiving the audio signals therefrom and for applying a gain to the audio signals to minimize variations in the audio signal levels. A controller is operably coupled to the diffusivity measurement unit and the leveler unit to control the gain applied to the audio signals by the leveler unit based on the level of diffusivity of the sounds present therein.

    Abstract: Audio signals from microphones of a mobile device are received. Each audio signal is generated by a respective microphone of the microphones. First microphones are selected from among the microphones to generate a front audio signal. Second microphones are selected from among the microphones to generate a back audio signal. A first audio signal portion, which is determined based at least in part on the back audio signal, is removed from the front audio signal to generate a modified front audio signal. A second audio signal portion is removed from the modified front audio signal to generate a left-front audio signal. A third audio signal portion is removed from the modified front audio signal to generate a right-front audio signal.

    Abstract: Microphone signals are received from microphones of a computer device. Each microphone signal of the microphone signals is acquired by a respective microphone of the microphones. A previously unselected microphone is selected from the microphones as a reference microphone, which generates a reference microphone signal. An adaptive filter is used to create, based on microphone signals of the microphones other than the reference microphone, predicted microphone signals for the reference microphone. Based on the predicted microphone signals for the reference microphone, an enhanced microphone signal is outputted for the reference microphone. The enhanced microphone signal may be used as microphone signal for the reference microphone in subsequent audio processing operations.
