GENERATING RESTORED SPATIAL AUDIO SIGNALS FOR OCCLUDED MICROPHONES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18048387 titled 'GENERATING RESTORED SPATIAL AUDIO SIGNALS FOR OCCLUDED MICROPHONES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for systems and techniques for performing spatial audio recording, including detecting occlusions and selecting spatial filters based on the occlusion detection.

  • Detecting occlusions for audio frames in spatial audio recording
  • Selecting spatial filters (occluded or non-occluded) based on occlusion detection

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as virtual reality, augmented reality, gaming, audio engineering, and entertainment production.

Problems Solved

- Improved spatial audio recording quality - Enhanced audio experience in immersive environments - Efficient handling of occlusions in audio recordings

Benefits

- Enhanced spatial audio realism - Better immersion in virtual environments - Optimal audio quality in complex audio recording scenarios

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Spatial Audio Recording Technology for Immersive Experiences"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to spatial audio recording techniques, occlusion detection in audio processing, and spatial filter selection based on environmental factors.

What are the technical specifications of the spatial filters used in this technology?

The technical specifications of the spatial filters used in this technology are not explicitly mentioned in the abstract. Further details on the design, parameters, and algorithms of these filters would provide a deeper understanding of their functionality and effectiveness.

How does the occlusion detection process impact the overall performance of the spatial audio recording system?

The abstract mentions the detection of occlusions in audio frames for spatial audio recording but does not elaborate on the specific impact on system performance. Exploring the relationship between occlusion detection accuracy, filter selection, and audio recording quality would shed light on the effectiveness of this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and techniques are provided for performing spatial audio recording. For instance, a process can include detecting an occlusion for at least one audio frame of one or more audio frames associated with a spatial audio recording. During the spatial audio recording, the process can further include selecting, based on detection of the occlusion, at least one of an occluded spatial filter for the one or more audio frames or a non-occluded spatial filter for the one or more audio frames.
