摘要： An information processing apparatus acquires a plurality of pieces of sound information, sound collection device position information, and target subject position information. In addition, the information processing apparatus specifies a target sound of a region corresponding to a position of a target subject from the plurality of pieces of sound information based on the acquired sound collection device position information and the acquired target subject position information. Further, the information processing apparatus generates target subject emphasis sound information indicating a sound including a target subject emphasis sound in which the specified target sound is emphasized more than a sound emitted from a region different from the region corresponding to the position of the target subject indicated by the acquired target subject position information in a case in which a virtual viewpoint video is generated.

摘要： An audio processing system includes at least one first microphone, at least one adaptive filter, and a processor. The at least one first microphone acquires a first audio signal and outputs a first signal based on the first audio signal. The first audio signal includes at least one of a first audio component generated at a first position and a second audio component generated at a second position different from the first position. The first signal is input to the at least one adaptive filter. The at least one adaptive filter outputs a passing signal based on the first signal. The processor, when executing a program stored in a memory, performs: making a determination of which of the first audio component and the second audio component the first audio signal includes more; and controlling a filter coefficient of the adaptive filter based on a result of the determination.

摘要： A method for estimating a user's location in an environment may involve receiving output signals from each microphone of a plurality of microphones in the environment. At least two microphones of the plurality of microphones may be included in separate devices at separate locations in the environment and the output signals may correspond to a current utterance of a user. The method may involve determining multiple current acoustic features from the output signals of each microphone and applying a classifier to the multiple current acoustic features. Applying the classifier may involve applying a model trained on previously-determined acoustic features derived from a plurality of previous utterances made by the user in a plurality of user zones in the environment. The method may involve determining, based at least in part on output from the classifier, an estimate of the user zone in which the user is currently located.

摘要： An image processing apparatus includes a first reception section, a second reception section, an association processing section, an object detection section, and a process execution section. The first reception section receives image information acquired by an image sensor. The second reception section receives sound information that is acquired by one or plural directional microphones and that is generated for at least a partial region in a field of the image sensor. The association processing section associates the sound information with a pixel address of the image information indicating a position in the field. The object detection section detects, from the image information, at least a part of an object that is present in the field. The process execution section executes a predetermined process on the object on the basis of a result of the association performed by the association processing section.

摘要： Disclosed are techniques for an improved method for performing sound source localization (SSL) to determine a direction of arrival of an audible sound using a combination of timing information and amplitude information. For example, a device may decompose an observed sound field into directional components, then estimate a time-delay likelihood value and an energy-based likelihood value for each of the directional components. Using a combination of these likelihood values, the device can determine the direction of arrival corresponding to a maximum likelihood value. In some examples, the device may perform Acoustic Wave Decomposition processing to determine the directional components. In order to reduce a processing consumption associated with performing AWD processing, the device splits this process into two phases: a search phase that selects a subset of a device dictionary to reduce a complexity, and a decomposition phase that solves an optimization problem using the subset of the device dictionary.
