DIRECTIONAL AUDIO MICROPHONES IN A SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323598 titled 'DIRECTIONAL AUDIO MICROPHONES IN A SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a system that uses digital signal processing to capture directional audio through an array of microphones.
- The system includes a video capture device, a microphone array connected to the video capture device, and a processing device.
- The processing device determines directional instruction information for the microphone array, corresponding to a virtual capture direction, and generates a digital signal processing plan based on this direction.
- This plan is then applied to the audio captures from the microphone array to produce an audio output aligned with the virtual capture direction.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Implementation of directional audio capture through digital signal processing.
- Utilization of a microphone array connected to a video capture device.
- Generation of a digital signal processing plan based on virtual capture direction.
- Application of the processing plan to produce an audio output aligned with the virtual capture direction.

Original Abstract Submitted
a system may be configured to implement directional audio capture via digital signal processing on audio captured by an array of microphones. in some aspects, the system may include a video capture device, a microphone array coupled to the video capture device, and a processing device. further, the processing device may be configured to determine directional instruction information for the microphone array, the directional instruction information corresponding to a virtual capture direction for the microphone array, and generate a digital signal processing (dsp) plan based on the virtual capture direction. in addition, the processing device may be further configured to apply the processing plan to the plurality of audio captures captured by the microphone array to produce an audio output corresponding to the virtual capture direction.
