Maniqu acustico virtual para la toma de sonido biaural SECTOR TECNICOVirtual acoustic mannequin for biaural sound capture SECTOR TECNICO

La presente invention se relaciona, en general, con el audio, con todos los derivados de aplicacion de la grabacion sonora y, mas en concreto, con la captura de la espacialidad del campo sonoro y la reproduction biaural. Algunos ejemplos son: industria musical, postproduccion, cine, videojuegos, multimedia, smtesis de espacios sonoros, mezcla con auriculares, etc.The present invention relates, in general, to the audio, with all the derivatives of the application of the sound recording and, more specifically, with the capture of the spatiality of the sound field and the biaural reproduction. Some examples are: music industry, postproduction, cinema, video games, multimedia, sound space synthesis, mixing with headphones, etc.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

El sonido que procesa el sistema perceptual humano llega a traves de un sistema biaural modelado comunmente mediante la funcion de transferencia de la cabeza (HRTF, Head- Related Transfer Function). La captura de sonido biaural con un sistema cabeza-torso (en ingles: dummy head) permite posteriormente conseguir la reproduccion mas o menos fiel del campo sonoro; la perception del oyente con auriculares es "tal como si estuviera en el lugar y en el entorno” en el que se grabo. Esto es asi porque el simulador de cabeza-torso (maniqu acustico) modela las reflexiones, absorciones y difracciones del sonido en el receptor de la manera mas fiel a las que experimenta una persona media. Sus propiedades fisicas (dimensiones, materiales, peso, constitution, forma, detalles, etc.) son similares a las de una persona "media”. Esto, evidentemente supone una gran simplification, ya que todos estos atributos tienen valores diferentes para cada persona, pero genera unas cualidades perceptualmente aceptables. Los sistemas cabeza-torso son normalmente muy costosos, pesados y delicados para transportar puesto que depositan todas sus prestaciones en la materialidad de la estructura.The sound processed by the human perceptual system comes through a biaural system commonly modeled by the head transfer function (HRTF). The biaural sound capture with a head-torso system (in English: dummy head) allows later to obtain the more or less faithful reproduction of the sound field; the perception of the listener with headphones is "as if he were in the place and in the environment" in which he recorded. This is so because the head-torso simulator (acoustic mannequin) models the reflections, absorptions and diffractions of the sound in the receiver in the most faithful way to which an average person experiences.Its physical properties (dimensions, materials, weight, constitution, shape, details, etc.) are similar to those of an "average" person. This obviously implies a great simplification, since all these attributes have different values for each person, but it generates perceptually acceptable qualities. The head-torso systems are normally very expensive, heavy and delicate to transport since they deposit all their benefits in the materiality of the structure.

Los maniquis acusticos, integran simuladores de oido (pabellon y canal interno auditivo) para medir o grabar la senal de audio equivalente a la percibida por el ser humano, ya sea procedente de un medio electronico (audifono o auriculares) o recibida directamente del campo sonoro del entorno. Existen varios tipos:The acoustic dummies integrate ear simulators (pavilion and internal auditory channel) to measure or record the audio signal equivalent to that perceived by the human being, either from an electronic medium (earphone or headphones) or received directly from the sound field of the environment. There is a lot of types:

• Simuladores de cabeza y torso que incluyen el simulador de oido completo (pabellon y canal interno auditivo). Estan pensados principalmente para medir la respuesta• Head and torso simulators that include the complete ear simulator (pavilion and internal auditory canal).

Among these are the Kemar (Knowles Electronics Inc.), Head Acoustics HMS II.4 and Cortex Instruments Binaural Recording Head (Mk1 and Mk2) models.

• Simuladores de cabeza y torso que incluyen el simulador de oido completo (pabellon y canal interno auditivo) y ademas incorporan una boca artificial (voz artificial). Estan destinados a realizar medidas de dispositivos de comunicacion con auriculares y microfono (telefoma y otros tipos de comunicacion). Ejemplos de estos simuladores son los modelos de Bruel & Kjaer 4128C y de Head Acoustics HMS II.3.• Head and torso simulators that include the complete ear simulator (pavilion and internal auditory canal) and also incorporate an artificial mouth (artificial voice). They are intended to perform measurements of communication devices with headphones and microphone (telephone and other types of communication). Examples of these simulators are the Bruel & Kjaer 4128C and Head Acoustics HMS II.3 models.

• Simuladores de cabeza y torso que incluyen el simulador de oido parcial (solo pabellon auditivo). El microfono de medida bloquea el canal auditivo. Su uso esta pensado para realizar grabaciones de sonido biaurales. El modelo de Bruel & Kjaer 4100 y el de Head Acoustics HMS III son un ejemplo de este tipo de medidas.• Head and torso simulators that include the partial ear simulator (auditory pavilion only). The measurement microphone blocks the ear canal. Its use is designed to make biaural sound recordings. The Bruel & Kjaer 4100 model and the Head Acoustics HMS III model are an example of this type of measurement.

Existen tres estandares que especifican las caracteristicas fisicas y acusticas que han de tener los simuladores de torso y cabeza. Estos son: ANSI S3.36 (Manikin for simulated in- situ airborne acoustic measurements), IEC TR 60959 (Provisional head and torso simulator for acoustic measurements on air conduction hearing aids) e ITU-T P.58 (Head and torso simulator for telephonometry).There are three standards that specify the physical and acoustic characteristics that the torso and head simulators must have. These are: ANSI S3.36 (Manikin for simulated in situ airborne acoustic measurements), IEC TR 60959 (Provisional head and torso simulator for acoustic measurements on air conduction hearing aids) and ITU-T P.58 (Head and torso simulator for telephonometry).

El estandar ANSI S3.36 especifica unas dimensiones fisicas que se corresponden con el maniqu acustico Kemar. Ademas incluye el estandar ANSI S3.25 (American National Standard for an occluded ear simulator) que fija las caracteristicas del simulador de oido (pabellon y canal auditivo).The ANSI S3.36 standard specifies physical dimensions that correspond to the Kemar acoustic dummy. It also includes the ANSI S3.25 standard (American National Standard for an occluded ear simulator) that sets the characteristics of the ear simulator (pavilion and ear canal).

El estandar IEC TR 60959 establece unas dimensiones identicas al estandar anterior ANSI S3.36 pero el simulador de oido (pabellon auditivo sin canal) sigue las especificaciones del estandar IEC 60711 (Occluded-ear simulator for the measurement of earphones coupled to the ear by ear inserts).The IEC TR 60959 standard establishes dimensions identical to the previous ANSI S3.36 standard but the ear simulator (auditory pavilion without channel) follows the specifications of the IEC 60711 standard (Occluded-ear simulator for the measurement of earphones coupled to the ear by ear inserts)

Las dimensiones reflejadas en el estandar ITU-T P.58 son algo diferentes de los otros dos estandares. Coinciden con las de los simuladores de torso y cabeza comerciales de Bruel & Kjaer 4128C y Head Acoustics HMS II.3. El oido artificial del ITU-T P.58 sigue el estandar ITU-T P.57. Establece varios modelos: el tipo 2 (pabellon sin canal auditivo -occluded ear- que coincide con el estandar IEC 60711) y los tipos 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 y 3.4 (pabellones auditivos de dimensiones diferentes -con canal interno-, de acuerdo al tipo de medida requerida).The dimensions reflected in the ITU-T P.58 standard are somewhat different from the other two standards. They match those of the commercial torso and head simulators of Bruel & Kjaer 4128C and Head Acoustics HMS II.3. The artificial ear of ITU-T P.58 follows the ITU-T P.57 standard. It establishes several models: type 2 (pavilion without ear canal -cluded ear- that matches the standard IEC 60711) and types 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 (auditory pavilions of different dimensions -with internal channel-, according to the type of required measure).

Los tres estandares (ANSI S3.36, IEC TR 60959 e ITU-T P.58) definen tambien la funcion de transferencia acustica de la cabeza (HRTF -Head Related Transfer Function-). En los estandares ANSI S3.36 e IEC TR 60959 la HRTF puede considerarse identica y se refiere al nivel de presion sonora (SPL -Sound Pressure Level-) existente en el timpano con respecto al SPL en campo libre (sin maniqu acustico) en el punto central interno de la cabeza. En el estandar ITU-T P.58 la HRTF se refiere al SPL en el timpano respecto al SPL en campo libre (sin cabeza) pero solo en la posicion 0° de azimut; en cambio, si se gira el maniqu acustico (90°, 180° y 270°) la HRTF se refiere al SPL en el timpano respecto al SPL a 0° de azimut (sin girar).The three standards (ANSI S3.36, IEC TR 60959 and ITU-T P.58) also define the head acoustic transfer function (HRTF -Head Related Transfer Function-). In the ANSI S3.36 and IEC TR 60959 standards the HRTF can be considered identical and refers to the sound pressure level (SPL-Sound Pressure Level-) existing in the tympanum with respect to the SPL in free field (without acoustic dummy) in the internal center point of the head. In the ITU-T P.58 standard, the HRTF refers to the SPL in the tympanum with respect to the SPL in free field (without head) but only in the 0 ° position of azimuth; on the other hand, if the acoustic dummy (90 °, 180 ° and 270 °) is turned, the HRTF refers to the SPL in the tympanum with respect to the SPL at 0 ° azimuth (without turning).

Mas del 95% de la information direccional que el cerebro necesita depende del diseno del pabellon auricular y de la distancia inter-aural. Sin embargo, no existen en la actualidad dispositivos que permitan la adaptation de estos dos parametros para mejorar las medidas en casos en los que por ejemplo, los atributos de la persona disten de la persona media.More than 95% of the directional information that the brain needs depends on the design of the auricular pavilion and the inter-aural distance. However, there are currently no devices that allow the adaptation of these two parameters to improve measures in cases where, for example, the attributes of the person differ from the average person.

DESCRIPCION DE LA INVENCIONDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

La presente invention permite capturar el campo sonoro biaural para una multitud de configuraciones gracias a que permite regular la distancia entre los pabellones auricular y la sustitucion de los mismos. Con este fin, el sistema cabeza-torso material, real, es sustituido por un sistema de procesamiento digital de senal inmaterial, virtual. Para simplificar la jerga utilizada en el texto usaremos el termino dummy head para referirnos al sistema cabeza- torso material (antecedente de la invencion) y el termino dummy ears para referirnos al sistema cabeza-torso inmaterial (presente invencion).The present invention makes it possible to capture the biaural sound field for a multitude of configurations thanks to the fact that it allows to regulate the distance between the auricular pavilions and their replacement. To this end, the real material head-torso system is replaced by a virtual, immaterial, virtual signal processing system. To simplify the jargon used in the text we will use the term dummy head to refer to the material head-torso system (antecedent of the invention) and the term dummy ears to refer to the immaterial head-torso system (present invention).

Los pabellones auriculares son moldeados con una impresora 3D para que reproduzcan la complejidad morfologica del oido externo y constituyan, conjuntamente con el sistema mecanico de acoplamiento, el unico elemento material que interviene directamente en la captura del campo sonoro. En cada pabellon auricular se inserta un microfono omnidireccional. Cada microfono omnidireccional a su vez esta acoplado a un sistema de procesamiento digital de senal encargado de simular las funciones de transferencia, HRTFs.The ear pavilions are molded with a 3D printer to reproduce the morphological complexity of the external ear and, together with the mechanical coupling system, constitute the only material element that directly intervenes in the capture of the sound field. An omnidirectional microphone is inserted into each ear pavilion. Each omnidirectional microphone in turn is coupled to a digital signal processing system in charge of simulating the transfer functions, HRTFs.

La presente invencion tiene las siguientes ventajas sobre el arte previo:The present invention has the following advantages over prior art:

1 El sistema de acoplamiento mecanico de los pabellones auriculares es muy simple y permite regular la distancia biaural.1 The mechanical coupling system of the ear pavilions is very simple and allows to regulate the biaural distance.
