20100098266 | MULTI-CHANNEL AUDIO DEVICE - An audio signal enhancement device is provided. The device includes a first and a second microphone, placed as close together as possible, the first and second microphone having receiving surfaces facing in opposing directions. The first and second microphones receive a desired target audio signal originating in the proximity of the microphones and undesired noise signals not originating in the proximity of the microphones. The acoustic pressure gradient from the desired target signal between the first and the second microphones is greater than that from the noise signals. Signal processing logic is provided. The signal processing logic is configured to firstly generate a proximity-indicator signal and a pre-target-estimate signal through a combination of output from the first microphone and output of the second microphone. The signal processing logic is further configured to generate a noise-estimate signal by combining the output from the first microphone with the proximity-indicator and the pre-target-estimate. The signal processing logic is further configured to generate a target-estimate signal by combining the output from the first microphone with the proximity-indicator and the noise-estimate. The signal processing logic is further configured to provide a target signal substantially free from noise by combining the target-estimate, noise-estimate and the proximity-indicator. The embodiments also provide for a noise to signal ratio estimator that provides an indication to a user of the strength of the noise in the signal for a particular location. | 04-22-2010 |

20120269332 | METHOD FOR ENCODING MULTIPLE MICROPHONE SIGNALS INTO A SOURCE-SEPARABLE AUDIO SIGNAL FOR NETWORK TRANSMISSION AND AN APPARATUS FOR DIRECTED SOURCE SEPARATION - A method is provided for encoding multiple microphone signals into a composite source-separable audio (SSA) signal, conducive for transmission over a voice network. The embodiments enable the processing of source separation of the target voice signal from its ambient sound to be performed at any point in the voice communication network, including the internet cloud. A multiplicity of processing is possible over the SSA signal, based on the intended voice application. The level of processing is adapted with the availability of the processing power at the chosen processing node in the network in one embodiment. An apparatus for separating out the target source voice from its ambient sound is also provided. The apparatus includes a directed source separation (DSS) unit, which processes the two virtual microphone signals in the SSA representation, to generate a new SSA signal including the enhanced target voice and the enhanced ambient noise. | 10-25-2012 |
20120288125 | PSYCHO-ACOUSTIC NOISE SUPPRESSION - A method for perceptual enhancement of a received remote talker's voice, in the presence of local ambient noise, in an electronic voice communication system is provided. The method includes generating a pair of binaural voice signals from the remote talker's voice and manipulating the characteristics of the resulting pair of binaural signals. The two ears of the local listener are stimulated binaurally with the pair of binaural voice signals. The stimulating is performed adaptively as the ambient noise in the local listener's environment changes, thereby creating a perception of remote talker reacting actively to the local ambient noise, in a psycho-acoustically pleasing manner to the local listener. | 11-15-2012 |
