USING A CAMERA FOR HEARING DEVICE ALGORITHM TRAINING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240348993 titled 'USING A CAMERA FOR HEARING DEVICE ALGORITHM TRAINING
The system described in the patent application includes an image sensor, a hearing device, and a controller. The controller, which may have one or more processors, is connected to the image sensor and the audio sensor. It is designed to receive image data from the image sensor and sound data from the hearing device. The controller can then identify optical components using the image data, associate them with objects or activities, determine audio objects using the optical components and sound data, and adjust an audio class based on the audio objects.
- The system includes an image sensor, a hearing device, and a controller.
- The controller processes image data from the image sensor and sound data from the hearing device.
- It identifies optical components associated with objects or activities using the image data.
- The controller determines audio objects by analyzing the optical components and sound data.
- Based on the audio objects, the controller adjusts an audio class associated with the object or activity.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced audio experiences in virtual reality environments - Improved audio descriptions for visually impaired individuals - Enhanced surveillance systems with audio recognition capabilities
Problems Solved: - Integration of image and sound data for improved object recognition - Efficient audio classification based on visual cues - Enhanced user experiences in multimedia applications
