    摘要: Systems and methods are described for concealing packet loss in a received audio stream. Packets of the audio stream may be received in a non-lapped transform domain format, where at least one packet is missing in the stream. The received packets are decoded, and each missing packet in the decoded stream is replaced by a reduced-energy signal block. Each reduced-energy signal block may also be modified at a beginning or ending boundary, and shifted such that a start or end of each missing packet does not coincide with a peak of a transform window of a lapped transform domain format. The raw audio signal may then be encoded into transform windows having the lapped transform domain format. Packet loss concealment may then be performed for selected transform windows that include modified reduced-energy blocks, either prior to transmission or after transmission by the receiving endpoint.

    摘要: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to audio signal processing. A method of indicating a presence of a nuisance in an audio signal is disclosed. The method includes determining a probability of the presence of the nuisance in a frame of the audio signal based on a feature of the audio signal, the nuisance representing an unwanted sound made by a user, in response to the probability of the presence of the nuisance exceeding a threshold, tracking the audio signal based on a metric over a plurality of frames following the frame, determining, based on the tracking, that the presence of the nuisance is to be indicated to the user, and in response to the determination, presenting to the user a notification of the presence of the nuisance. Corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

    摘要: Described herein are audio capture systems and methods. One embodiment provides an audio capture system (1) including: microphones (9-11) positioned to capture respective audio signals from different directions or locations within an audio environment; a mixing module (7) configured to mix the audio signals in accordance with a mixing control signal to produce an output audio mix, wherein, upon the detection of vibration activity, the mixing control signal controls the mixing module (7) to selectively temporarily modify one or more of the audio signals to reduce the presence of noise associated with vibration activity in the output audio mix.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described for detecting and remedying potential incongruence in a video conference. A camera of a video conferencing system may capture video images of a conference room. A processor of the video conferencing system may identify locations of a plurality of participants within an image plane of a video image. Using face and shape detection, a location of a center point of each identified participant's torso may be calculated. A region of congruence bounded by key parallax lines may be calculated, the key parallax lines being a subset of all parallax lines running through the center points of each identified participant. When the audio device location is not within the region of congruence, audio captured by an audio device may be adjusted to reduce effects of incongruence when the captured audio is replayed at a far end of the video conference.

    摘要: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to assessment and adjustment for an audio environment. A computer-implemented method is provided. The method includes obtaining a first audio signal captured by a device located in an environment. The method also includes analyzing a characteristic of the first audio signal to determine an acoustic performance metric for the environment. The method further includes, in response to the acoustic performance metric being below a threshold, providing a first task for a user to perform based on the characteristic of the first audio signal. The first task is related to an adjustment to a setting of the environment. Embodiments in this regard further provide a corresponding computer program product. Corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

    摘要: Described herein is a method for creating an object-based audio signal from an audio input, the audio input including one or more audio channels that are recorded to collectively define an audio scene. The one or more audio channels are captured from a respective one or more spatially separated microphones disposed in a stable spatial configuration. The method includes the steps of: a) receiving the audio input; b) performing spatial analysis on the one or more audio channels to identify one or more audio objects within the audio scene; c) determining contextual information relating to the one or more audio objects; d) defining respective audio streams including audio data relating to at least one of the identified one or more audio objects; and e) outputting an object-based audio signal including the audio streams and the contextual information.

    摘要: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to a estimation of reverberant energy components from audio sources. A method of estimating a reverberant energy component from an active audio source (100) is disclosed. The method comprises determining a correspondence between the active audio source and a plurality of sample sources by comparing one or more spatial features of the active audio source with one or more spatial features of the plurality of sample sources, each of the sample sources being associated with an adaptive filtering model (101); obtaining an adaptive filtering model for the active audio source based on the determined correspondence (102); and estimating the reverberant energy component from the active audio source over time based on the adaptive filtering model (103). Corresponding system (800) and computer program product (900) are also disclosed.
