In this embodiment, the flow of road condition prompting based on audio reality enhancement includes:
1. the automobile central control system monitors road conditions in real time through sensors arranged at all directions of the current automobile, and when an event needing to be prompted is found and a driver needs to be prompted, road condition information is extracted and transmitted to the AR headset display device through the communication module. For example, if the millimeter wave radar irradiating the rear side finds that the target vehicle invades the blind area of the rearview mirror of the current vehicle, the detected relative position and speed information of the target vehicle is transmitted to the automobile central control system of the current vehicle, the automobile central control system selectively retrieves video data of the rear side camera according to the type of the information and identifies the target vehicle in the video, such as distinguishing a car, an off-road vehicle, a truck and the like, and measures the cross-sectional area of the invaded target vehicle on a vertical plane, and then the information is transmitted to the AR headset display device in a digital form in real time. The cross-sectional area may be obtained by: detecting the distance between the target vehicle and the current vehicle by using a millimeter wave radar, capturing an image of the target vehicle by using a camera, determining the position of the target vehicle in the image by using a target detection algorithm, extracting an image block of the target vehicle, and measuring the number of pixels corresponding to the length and the width of the image block; and then calculating the actual width and height of the target vehicle according to the distance of the target vehicle obtained by the millimeter wave radar and the lens focal length of the camera, and further calculating the cross-sectional area of the target vehicle on the vertical plane.
2. After the AR head-mounted display equipment receives the road condition information transmitted by the automobile central control system, the road condition information is subjected to secondary processing: estimating tonnage of the target vehicle according to the type of the target vehicle and the cross-sectional area of the target vehicle on a vertical plane; the tonnage of the vehicle is divided into a plurality of tonnage levels in advance, each tonnage level corresponds to a voiceprint feature, the voiceprint feature is prerecorded and extracted, the voiceprint feature is approximately equal to the mixture of at least one of tire noise, wind noise, engine sound and the like when the vehicle with the tonnage level runs, and a virtual sound image is modulated by utilizing the voiceprint feature corresponding to the target vehicle to simulate the target vehicle.
The SRS processing engine builds a virtual sound field according to the auditory psychological effect, and then utilizes the position and the moving speed of the virtual sound image in the sound field to simulate the azimuth and the relative speed of the rear vehicle, so as to achieve the purpose of reminding a driver. The principle is as follows:
since there is a certain distance between the ears of a person, the distance from the sound source to the ears differs as long as the sound is not emitted from the mid-plane of the line connecting the ears. The sound needs time to travel in the air, and different distances can cause different travel times, and meanwhile, because the sound can be attenuated along with the increase of the distance, the loudness of the sound reaching two ears is different. These two factors allow us to discern the orientation of the sound in the horizontal direction. While sound propagates in the medium with amplitude decreasing with increasing distance and generally with attenuation of high frequency components to a greater degree than low frequency components. Our brain can calculate the approximate distance of the sound source from our based on such characteristics. However, since we cannot know what the sound source should be, we can only infer the distance of the sound empirically, and have no way to make an accurate judgment. Only when the spectral distribution and amplitude of the sound source can be known exactly, the distance of the sound source can be calculated exactly, knowing the attenuation characteristics of the medium with respect to frequency. But when the sound source is on the bisector of the two earlobes, the two ears receive sound without phase difference and loudness difference, how does we determine the position of the sound? Our ears have very specific shapes and complex folds and projections allow the original sound to be superimposed with the sound reflected by the pinna after reaching the pinna. Due to the phase difference, some frequency components are enhanced and some frequency components are weakened. In this way we can more specifically discern the orientation of the sound by the sound being altered by the pinna. For the pinna we can build a function describing its effect on the sound frequency characteristics, this function being the Head related transfer function (HRTF, head-related Transfer Function). The HRTF is a function of the sound location, and sounds in different places have different frequency response characteristics after passing through the HRTF, so that we can distinguish sounds in different places.
The HRTF synthesis simulation circuit can be divided into two main parts: digital filters and time delays.
The application first sends the HRTF the preferred synthesized coordinates to find the appropriate parameters, which he then returns to the digital filter. The left and right channel filters calculate a frequency profile that is easily heard by the person-the difference in volume of both ears (IAD) and the auricle effect of this frequency.
After modeling the 3D characteristics of the frequency bins, the only thing left is the two-ear time delay difference (ITD). The synthesized ITD is only needed to reconstruct the approximate estimated delay according to the digital delay circuit.
The time delay, wall absorption effects, field effects and doppler effects of the reflection can be implemented through an application programming interface.
3. The central processing unit of the AR headset display device transmits the processed modulation signals to the bone conduction earphone in real time, and the earphone restores sound field signals through a stereo technology to remind a driver of road conditions.
