摘要: Provided is a sound collection loudspeaker apparatus that makes it possible to intuitively distinguish which talker is talking, and improve the comfort of conversations, when performing in-vehicle conversation and conversations with people outside of a vehicle. The sound collection loudspeaker apparatus is installed in a vehicle. Two or more sound collection and amplification positions are assumed to be present inside the vehicle. The apparatus includes: a transfer function multiplying unit that, from a transfer function for transfer from a desired sound source position where a sound image of an enhanced signal is localized to both ears of a target person located at the sound collection and amplification position, and a transfer function for transfer from one or more speakers installed for playing back sound at the sound collection and amplification position to the ears, applies a filter for localizing a sound image at the sound source position to an enhanced signal, and outputs the enhanced signal that has been filtered to the speaker. The enhanced signal is a signal in which a target sound emitted from the sound collection and amplification position has been enhanced from a signal collected by the one or more microphones.

摘要: A first noise level, which is an estimated value of a magnitude of a noise component included in a first sound collection signal obtained from a first microphone which collects sound emitted from a first sound collection and amplification position is obtained, a second noise level, which is an estimated value of a magnitude of a noise component included in a second sound collection signal obtained from a second microphone which collects sound emitted from a second sound collection and amplification position is obtained, a ratio of a reproduced noisy sound level, which is an estimated value of a magnitude of noise at a position of a passenger at the second sound collection and amplification position in a case where the first noise level is reproduced from a second speaker placed at the second sound collection and amplification position, with respect to a second noisy sound level, which is an estimated value of a magnitude of noise corresponding to the second noise level at the position of the passenger at the second sound collection and amplification position is obtained, and a noise suppression amount is obtained so that a product of this ratio and the noise suppression amount becomes a constant set in advance.

摘要: Erroneous detection of erroneously determining a normal sound to be anomalous is suppressed. A registered normal sound detection apparatus 2 calculates anomaly score of an observed signal. A feature extraction unit 24 extracts a feature amount with a fixed-length from a time-series acoustic signal with an arbitrary length. An anomaly score calculation unit 25 corrects the anomaly score calculated from the observed signal so that the higher similarity score between the observed signal and a registered normal sound is, the smaller a value of the anomaly score is. The anomaly score calculation unit 25 calculates the similarity score by a similarity score function learned by using the feature amount extracted from the time-series acoustic signal including at least a normal sound by the feature extraction unit 24.

摘要: To provide an anomalous sound detection training technique by which a feature amount extraction function for detecting anomalous sound can be generated irrespective of whether training data for anomalous signals is available or not. An anomalous sound detection training apparatus includes: a first function updating unit 3 that updates a feature amount extraction function and an feature amount inverse transformation function, which are input, based on an optimization index of a variational autoencoder; an acoustic feature extraction unit 4 that extracts an acoustic feature of normal sound based on training data for normal sound; a normal sound model updating unit 5 that updates a normal sound model by using the acoustic feature that is extracted; a threshold updating unit 6 that obtains a threshold φρ corresponding to a false positive rate ρ, which has a predetermined value, by using the training data for normal sound and the feature amount extraction function that is input; and a second function updating unit 8 that updates the feature amount extraction function that is updated, based on a Neyman-Pearson-type optimization index defined by the threshold φρ that is obtained, and repeatedly performs processing of each of the above-mentioned units.

摘要: A sound collection apparatus includes a substantially spherical base on which at least a predetermined number of recess portions are provided in a surface thereof with a predetermined interval therebetween; and a predetermined number of microphones. The predetermined number is an integer of 2 or greater. The microphones are installed on an inner bottom surface side of the recess portions one by one. Intervals between sound collecting portions of adjacent microphones are substantially equal to each other.

摘要: An object is to provide a sound collection apparatus capable of collecting a sound with a higher SN rate than before through use of a reflected sound. The sound collection apparatus is installed in a vehicle. The vehicle includes a seat for a passenger to sit on, and a reflective structure that reflects a sound emitted by a passenger sitting in the seat. The sound collection apparatus includes a first microphone arranged at a position where a direct sound that is a sound emitted by the passenger is readily collected, and a second microphone arranged at a position where a reflected sound that is a sound emitted by the passenger and reflected by the reflective structure is readily collected.

摘要: The accuracy of unsupervised anomalous sound detection is improved. An anomalous sound generation unit 12 generates a pseudo-anomalous sound by associating a sound obtained from a predetermined device with a probability distribution followed by a sound obtained from a desired device group. A threshold value setting unit 13 sets a threshold value so that all anomaly scores calculated from the pseudo-anomalous sound are determined to be anomalous. A parameter update unit 14 uses an obtained normal sound and an obtained anomalous sound, or a threshold value and a value based on the obtained anomalous sound, to update a parameter so to reliably determine an anomalous sound as anomalous and minimize the probability of determining a normal sound as anomalous.
