SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MATCHING A VISUAL SOURCE WITH A SOUND SIGNAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18163618 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MATCHING A VISUAL SOURCE WITH A SOUND SIGNAL

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for matching visual sources with corresponding sound signals. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves receiving a real-world sound input that includes multiple sound signals from different sound-generating objects.
  • The sound signals are separated from the real-world sound input.
  • The visual source is analyzed to detect the sound-generating objects present in it.
  • An association is created between each sound-generating object and the separated sound signals.
  • In real-time, the detected sound-generating objects are matched with their respective sound signals based on the association.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing virtual reality experiences by synchronizing visual and audio elements.
  • Improving video editing and post-production processes by automatically matching sound effects with corresponding visual elements.
  • Enabling interactive multimedia installations where visual objects trigger specific sound signals.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method solves the challenge of accurately matching sound signals with their corresponding visual sources in real-time.
  • It eliminates the need for manual synchronization of audio and visual elements, saving time and effort.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Provides a seamless and immersive audio-visual experience for users.
  • Increases efficiency and productivity in video editing and multimedia production.
  • Enables new possibilities for interactive and synchronized multimedia installations.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for matching a visual source with a respective sound signal is provided. The method includes receiving a real-world sound input including a combination of one or more sound signals originating from a plurality of sound-generating objects, separating one or more sound signals from the real-world sound input, detecting sound generating objects included in the visual source, generating an association between each of the sound generating objects and the one or more separated sound signals, and matching, in real-time, each of the detected sound generating objects with respective sound signals from the one or more separated sound signals based on the association.
