    Abstract: A video conference endpoint detects a face and determines a face angle of the detected face relative to a reference direction based on images captured with a camera. The endpoint determines an angle of arrival of sound (i.e., a sound angle) received at a microphone array that transduces the sound relative to the reference direction based on the transduced sound and a sound speed parameter indicative of a speed of sound in air. The endpoint compares the face angle against the sound angle, and adjusts the sound speed parameter so as to reduce the angle difference if the compare indicates an angle difference greater than zero between the face and sound angles.

    Abstract: Systems, processes, devices, apparatuses, algorithms and computer readable medium for suppressing spatial interference using a dual microphone array for receiving, from a first microphone and a second microphone that are separated by a predefined distance, and that are configured to receive source signals, respective first and second microphone signals based on received source signals. A phase difference between the first and the second microphone signals is calculated based on the predefined distance. An angular distance between directions of arrival of the source signals and a desired capture direction is calculated based on the phase difference. Directional-filter coefficients are calculated based on the angular distance. Undesired source signals are filtered from an output based on the directional-filter coefficients.
