RENDERING BASED ON LOUDSPEAKER ORIENTATION
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240422503 titled 'RENDERING BASED ON LOUDSPEAKER ORIENTATION
Original Abstract Submitted
an audio processing method may involve receiving audio signals and associated spatial data, listener position data, loudspeaker position data and loudspeaker orientation data, and rendering the audio data for reproduction, based, at least in part, on the spatial data, the listener position data, the loudspeaker position data and the loudspeaker orientation data, to produce rendered audio signals. the rendering may involve applying a loudspeaker orientation factor that tends to reduce a relative activation of a loudspeaker based, at least in part, on an increased loudspeaker orientation angle. in some examples, the rendering may involve modifying an effect of the loudspeaker orientation factor based, at least in part, on a loudspeaker importance metric. the loudspeaker importance metric may correspond to a loudspeaker's importance for rendering an audio signal at the audio signal's intended perceived spatial position.
