Abstract: A stereo audio output signal is obtained based on position information indicative of a position of a participant of a teleconference relative to a plurality of audio output devices, wherein both the participant and the plurality of audio devices are located within a teleconferencing space. Playback of the stereo audio output signal is caused at the plurality of audio output devices located within the teleconferencing space. An audio input signal captured at an audio capture device located within the teleconferencing space is received, wherein at least a portion of the audio input signal comprises audio caused by playback of the stereo audio output signal by the plurality of audio output devices. The position information is used to perform an Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) process to the at least the portion of the audio input signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for preserving headphone rendering mode (HRM) in object clustering are described. In an embodiment, an object-based audio data processing system includes a processor configured to receive a plurality of audio objects, wherein an audio object of the plurality of audio objects is associated with respective object metadata that indicates respective spatial position information and an HRM; determine a plurality of cluster positions by applying an extended hybrid distance metric to a spatial coding algorithm to calculate a partial loudness for each of the audio objects; render the audio objects to the cluster positions to form a plurality of clusters by applying the extended hybrid distance metric to the spatial coding algorithm to calculate object-to-cluster gains; and transmit the clusters to a spatial reproduction system.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a sound processing apparatus and a sound processing system for enabling more stable localization of a sound image.
A virtual speaker is assumed to exist on the lower side among the sides of a tetragon having its corners formed with four speakers surrounding a target sound image position on a spherical plane. Three-dimensional VBAP is performed with respect to the virtual speaker and the two speakers located at the upper right and the upper left, to calculate gains of the two speakers at the upper right and the upper left and the virtual speaker, the gains being to be used for fixing a sound image at the target sound image position. Further, two-dimensional VBAP is performed with respect to the lower right and lower left speakers, to calculate gains of the lower right and lower left speakers, the gains being to be used for fixing a sound image at the position of the virtual speaker. The values obtained by multiplying these gains by the gain of the virtual speaker are set as the gains of the lower right and lower left speakers for fixing a sound image at the target sound image position. The present technology can be applied to sound processing apparatuses.-

Abstract: An input unit receives input of an assumed listening position of sound of an object, which is a sound source, and outputs assumed listening position information indicating the assumed listening position. A position information correction unit corrects position information of each object on the basis of the assumed listening position information to obtain corrected position information. A gain/frequency characteristic correction unit performs gain correction and frequency characteristic correction on a waveform signal of an object on the basis of the position information and the corrected position information. A spatial acoustic characteristic addition unit further adds a spatial acoustic characteristic to the waveform signal resulting from the gain correction and the frequency characteristic correction on the basis of the position information of the object and the assumed listening position information. The present technology is applicable to an audio processing device.
