    摘要: A process and system for providing objective quality measurement of a target audio signal. Reference and target signals are processed by a peripheral ear processor, and compared to provide a basilar degradation signal. A cognitive processor employing a neural network then determines an objective quality measure from the basilar degradation signal by calculating certain key cognitive model components.

    摘要: A reverberant characteristic of an acoustic space is superimposed on an audio signal that is received by an apparatus. The apparatus decomposes the audio signal into an estimated original dry signal component and an estimated reverberant characteristic of the acoustic space. Estimation of the original dry signal component and the reverberant characteristic of the acoustic space is based on determination of an estimated impulse response of the acoustic space from the received audio signal. Once the audio signal is decomposed, the estimated original dry signal component and the estimated reverberant characteristic of the acoustic space may be independently modified by the apparatus. The modified or unmodified estimated original dry signal component and estimated reverberant characteristic of the acoustic space may be combined by the apparatus to produce one or more adjusted frequency spectra.

    摘要: An audio signal processing system is configured to separate an audio signal into a dry signal component and one or more reverberant signal components. The dry signal component and the reverberant signal components can be separately modified and then recombined to form a processed audio signal. Alternatively, the dry signal component may be combined with an artificial reverberation component to form the processed audio signal. Modification of the reverberation signal component and generation of the artificial reverberation component may be performed in order to modify the acoustic characteristics of an acoustic space in which the audio signal is driving loudspeakers. The audio signal may be a pre-recorded audio signal or a live audio signal generated inside or outside the acoustic space.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for extracting and changing the reverberant content of an input signal is provided. The method of estimating an impulse response for a reverberant system includes sampling a signal from a reverberant system, having an impulse response, into a sequence of blocks, for each block of the sequence, determining a magnitude in dependence upon a magnitude of a previous block, forming an estimate of the impulse response using determined magnitudes as parameters for a finite impulse response filter. The method of creating a multi-channel signal using a signal with fewer channels from a reverberant system includes sampling the signal from a reverberant system, having an impulse response, into a sequence of blocks, for each block of the sequence, determining a magnitude in dependence upon a magnitude of a previous block, forming an estimate of the impulse response using determined magnitudes as parameters for a finite impulse response filter, applying an inverse of the estimated impulse response to the signal to derive at least one of a direct signal component and a reverberant signal component, and recombining the direct signal component and the reverberant signal component to create a multi-channel signal.

    摘要: A sound processing system receives an audio input signal that includes at least two different input channels of audio content. The sound processing system dissects the audio input signal to separate sources of audible sound included in the audio input signal into sound source vectors. Separation of the sources of audible sound into sound source vectors may be based on a perceived location of each of the sources of audible sound within a listener perceived sound stage. The sound source vectors may represent spatial slices across the listener perceived sound stage that may be individually and independently processed with the sound processing system. Following processing, the sound source vectors may be selectively assembled to form an audio output signal having output channels used to drive respective loudspeakers. Since the sources of audible sound are separated and independent, the audible sound sources may be included on any one or more of the output channels.

    摘要: There is disclosed a method and apparatus for changing the frequency content of an input spectrum and a method and apparatus for reducing the perceptibility of a component of an input signal. The first aspect involves adjusting frequency components of the input spectrum in response to a time varying adjustment frequency spectrum to produce an output frequency spectrum including adjusted frequency components of the input spectrum. The time varying input spectrum may be produced by selectively addressing a number of individual sub-spectra at different times. In addition, the input spectrum may be divided into a plurality of sub-spectra and each sub-spectrum may be operated on separately by a different adjustment frequency spectrum at different times. In addition, a perceptual model may be used to enhance the adjustment of the input spectrum or sub-spectra. The second aspect involves adjusting frequency components of a first analysis windowed frame of input time samples in response to an adjustment frequency spectrum, to produce an output frame of output time samples and synthesis windowing the output frame to produce a synthesis windowed frame of output time samples representing a time varying output signal having reduced perceptibility of the component. Different windows are used to produce different input spectra for use as the input spectrum on which the adjustment is made and for use in a perceptual model to provide maximum energy to the perceptual model to enable it to have its full effect in producing the adjustment frequency spectrum.

    摘要: An apparatus for selectively extracting components of an input signal comprises a plurality of microphones for detecting an audio signal in a plurality of spaced locations. A plurality of signal samplers sample each spaced version of the audio signal. A microphone pattern processor derives a reference signal, a null signal and a core signal from the sampled signals. An adjustment frequency spectrum generator coupled to the null and reference signals generates an adjustment frequency spectrum signal that is applied to the core signal. An audio signal regenerator provides an output audio signal from the adjusted core signal. The apparatus can be used in a wireless device to pick up a speaker's voice in a noisy environment.
