Definitions
- FIG. 14 is a pair of polar plots of a set of gain versus direction functions;
- FIG. 15 is a block diagram of the gain mapper of FIG. 11;
- FIG. 16 is a block diagram of the signal generator of FIG. 11;
- FIG. 18 is a block diagram of the forward filter of FIG. 17;
- FIG. 19 is a block diagram of the forward beamformer of FIG. 18;
- FIG. 20 is a block diagram of the adaptor of FIG. 19;
- the signal inband detector 50 outputs a logic one if the power in the current frequency band is contributed mainly by input contents of frequencies falling within the band. Conversely, the signal inband detector 50 outputs a logic zero if the contents are due mainly to input at frequencies outside of the band. It is widely known that most time-to-frequency transforms "spill" energy from the source band to neighboring bands due to windowing effects or similar mechanisms. However, only signals within the frequency band should be allowed to influence the equalizing value for a band. This differentiation is possible through the use of the Inband signal.
- the wave parameter estimator 54 includes a plurality of analysis filters 62, a plurality of forward transformers 64, a normalizer 66, and an equation solver 68.
- the analysis filters 62 are optional and when implemented serve to create additional input signals to the equation solver 68 such that the individual components carry different weights. If the input consists of two or more sinusoidal waves of the same frequency, then it will not be possible to distinguish between the waves. However, if the waves carry different frequency content, then it will be possible to distinguish between the waves. Processing the input with filters of different magnitude responses, phase responses, or both creates additional information for the equation solver 68.
- the equation solver 68 is most efficiently implemented in the frequency domain. Therefore, if it has not been previously performed, the inputs are converted to the frequency domain in the forward transformers 64.
- ⁇ m is the angular frequency of the wave m. in is the wave index.
- x(i) is a vector and is
- the sound field be described primarily in the frequency domain.
- the frequency domain is generally the most advantageous domain in terms of complexity and computing costs. Nevertheless in some cases the processing of the present invention is most feasible performed together with other audio processing applications. If such audio processing runs in the time domain it may prove efficient to implement the apparent incidence audio processing in the time domain as well. In the following, the sound field equations will therefore be stated in the time domain.
- (17) states the sound field equations in the time domain under the assumptions as used in the formulation of (14) above. In (17), p is used to describe the time domain version of P and n is the sample index. (17)
- f c is the center frequency of the individual bands of the frequency transform.
- the chosen solution may not be the co ⁇ ect one, but even if the co ⁇ ect solution is not chosen the strategy results in a system gain for noise components equal to or lower than the noise gain that would have been the result if the co ⁇ ect solution was to be used.
- NarrowBandPowers signal is provided.
- the two NarrowBandPowers are generated with two different update rates.
- FIG. 19 a block diagram of the forward beamformer 138 of FIG. 18 is shown.
- one or more of the fbeam signals may be generated with adaptive beamforming.
- the adaptive beamforming is achieved by first generating, through a plurality of beamformers 146, a number of fixed beam signals. The first being the target beam, pbeam, and the rest being one or more rear beams, rbeam(q).
- two microphones are positioned along the target axis.
- the forward beams include an adaptive bea fbeam(il).
- pbeamftl is implemented with a beamformer 146 of FIG. 19 generating a supercardioid for the target direction as implemented by the beamformer filters defined in (29) below.
- a single rear beam is used at the adaptive beamforming, rbeam(l,il). It is a cardioid in the reverse direction of the target direction as described by the component filters of (30) below.
- (29) and (30) describe two beamformers 146 in the frequency domain.
- a prefe ⁇ ed near field embodiment of the present invention enables signal processing methods with which it is possible to produce sound pick-up with near field characteristics. It is possible to obtain noise reduction better than that possible with noise-canceling microphones. Furthermore, it is possible to maintain the near field characteristic with its noise reducing virtues at a distance further away from the speech source than is possible with conventional noise- canceling microphones.
