    摘要: Systems and methods are described to extract desired audio from an apparatus that is worn on a user's head. The apparatus includes a head wearable device. A first microphone is positioned on the head wearable device to receive a voice signal from the user A first signal from the first microphone is input as a main channel to a noise cancellation unit. A second microphone is coupled to the head wearable device. A first acoustic distance between the first microphone and the user's mouth is less than a second acoustic distance between the second microphone and the user's mouth when the head wearable device is on the user's head. A second signal from the second microphone is input as a reference channel to the noise cancellation unit. A first signal-to-noise ratio of the first signal is larger than a second signal-to-noise ratio of the second signal.

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described to increase a signal-to-noise ratio difference between a main channel and reference channel. The increased signal-to-noise ratio difference is accomplished with an adaptive threshold for a desired voice activity detector (DVAD) and shaping filters. The DVAD includes averaging an output signal of a reference microphone channel to provide an estimated average background noise level. A threshold value is selected from a plurality of threshold values based on the estimated average background noise level. The threshold value is used to detect desired voice activity on a main microphone channel.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described to extract desired audio from an apparatus to be worn on a user's wrist. The apparatus includes a wrist wearable device, configured to be worn on the user's wrist. The wrist wearable device includes a first microphone. The first microphone has a first response pattern. The first microphone is coupled to the wrist wearable device. The first microphone is positioned on the wrist wearable device to receive a voice signal from a user when the wrist wearable device is on the user's wrist.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described to extract desired audio from an apparatus to be worn on a user's head. An apparatus includes a head wearable device and an array of at least three microphones. The at least three microphones are arranged along a plurality of at least two non-parallel axes. Selection logic is configured to identify a selected axis from the plurality and two microphones from the array that form the selected axis. A beamformer is configured to accept as inputs, signals from the two microphones and to output a main microphone channel and a reference microphone channel.
