6 results about "Microphone array" patented technology

A microphone array is any number of microphones operating in tandem. Typically, an array is made up of omnidirectional microphones, directional microphones, or a mix of omnidirectional and directional microphones distributed about the perimeter of a space, linked to a computer that records and interprets the results into a coherent form. Arrays may also be formed using numbers of very closely spaced microphones. Given a fixed physical relationship in space between the different individual microphone transducer array elements, simultaneous DSP (digital signal processor) processing of the signals from each of the individual microphone array elements can create one or more "virtual" microphones. Different algorithms permit the creation of virtual microphones with extremely complex virtual polar patterns and even the possibility to steer the individual lobes of the virtual microphones patterns so as to home-in-on, or to reject, particular sources of sound. The application of these algorithms can produce varying levels of accuracy when calculating source level and location, and as such, care should be taken when deciding how the individual lobes of the virtual microphones are derived.

Sound source recording apparatus and method adaptable to operating environment

ActiveUS20110103617A1Increase sound source recognition capabilityGain controlElectronic editing digitised analogue information signalsSound sourcesEngineering
Disclosed herein is a sound source recording apparatus and method adaptable to an operating environment, which can record a target sound source at a predetermined level without being affected by characteristics of the sound source or ambient noise. A target sound source is separated from a sound source signal received through an array of microphones and a recording sound pressure level and a gain are estimated using a reference sound pressure level and a reference distance for the target sound source, thereby controlling or adjusting the gain of the microphones.

Layer-by-layer channel selection method for voice recognition of self-organizing microphone

PendingCN113628614AReduce computational complexityEasy to identifySpeech recognitionEncoder decoderComputation complexity
The invention discloses a layer-by-layer channel selection method for voice recognition of a self-organizing microphone, and the method is based on a conformer voice recognition framework, and the method comprises: (1), an encoder-decoder framework is adopted, an encoder is based on a Conformer framework, a decoder is based on a Transformer framework, and a multi-head attention mechanism is introduced into an encoder-decoder module; (2) for a single-channel voice recognition system, clean voice is adopted for independent training; and (3) for a multi-channel voice recognition system, the voice of each channel is encoded and then the same decoder is shared, a multi-layer flow attention mechanism is trained, and the channels are screened layer by layer. Under a large-scale self-organizing microphone array, compared with other flow attention-based methods, the method provided by the invention is higher in speech recognition accuracy and lower in calculation complexity.

Audition and vision collaborative humanoid robot head orientation method

PendingCN113910217AImprove interactive experienceProgramme-controlled manipulatorHumanoid robot naoVisual perception
The invention provides an audition and vision collaborative humanoid robot head orientation method. The method is characterized by mainly comprising the following steps of firstly, acquiring a voice signal through a microphone array and recording time; recognizing by using a human voice recognition method, and counting the number of microphones for collecting human voice; setting a candidate target orientation according to time when the number of the voice microphones is greater than 1; then rotating a camera and acquiring a video; obtaining human face image frames from the video, obtaining a human face recognition result through recognition by means of a human face recognition method, and counting the number of human faces; when the number of the human faces is greater than 1, calculating human face areas and sorting the human face areas; setting candidate target human faces according to the ranking; then, achieving lip movement recognition through a lip movement detection algorithm; setting a target orientation according to the area when the number of the human faces with lip movement is greater than 1; and finally rotating the head of the humanoid robot to realize orientation. According to the method, the humanoid robot can distinguish the human voice from other voices and can accurately interact with the target human voice.
