Determining Spatial Audio Parameters - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040317 titled 'Determining Spatial Audio Parameters

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for determining spatial audio parameters that are robust to noise levels. The method involves obtaining and processing two or more audio signals to generate spatial audio signals. The amount of noise in the audio signals is determined, and one or more spatial audio parameters are determined based on the value of the determined noise amount.

  • The patent application describes a method for determining spatial audio parameters that are robust to noise levels.
  • Two or more audio signals are obtained and processed to generate spatial audio signals.
  • The amount of noise in the audio signals is determined.
  • One or more spatial audio parameters are determined based on the value of the determined noise amount.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Spatial audio processing in virtual reality or augmented reality systems.
  • Enhancing the immersive experience in gaming or multimedia applications.
  • Improving the sound quality in teleconferencing or video conferencing systems.
  • Spatial audio rendering in movie theaters or concert halls.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Noise in audio signals can degrade the accuracy of spatial audio rendering.
  • Determining spatial audio parameters that are robust to noise levels can improve the overall sound quality and localization accuracy.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved spatial audio experience for users.
  • Enhanced immersion and realism in virtual reality or augmented reality applications.
  • Clearer and more accurate sound localization in teleconferencing or video conferencing systems.
  • Better audio quality in movie theaters or concert halls.


Original Abstract Submitted

examples of the disclosure provide methods of determining spatial audio parameters that are robust to noise levels. in examples of the disclosure two or more audio signals are obtained and processed to generate spatial audio signals. a noise amount in the audio signals is determined. one or more spatial audio parameters are determined wherein the process used to determine the one or more spatial audio parameters is dependent upon a value of the determined noise amount.
