In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for detecting near-field sources in an audio device may include computing a normalized cross correlation function between a first microphone signal and a second microphone signal, computing normalized auto correlation functions of each of the first microphone signal and the second microphone signal, partitioning the normalized cross correlation function and the normalized auto correlation functions into a plurality of time lag regions, computing for each respective time lag region of the plurality of the time lag regions a respective maximum deviation between the normalized cross correlation function and a normalized auto correlation function within the respective time lag region, combining the respective maximum deviations from the plurality of time lag regions to derive multiple detection statistics, and comparing each detection statistic of the multiple detection statistics to a respective threshold to detect a near-field signal.

Range to a human speaker is determined using a laser-based time of flight (ToF) system, with the range then being used to adjust the gain of a microphone receiving the speaker's voice. If desired, an acoustic-based Direction of Arrival (DoA) system uses acoustic information to determine the direction of incoming sound, such as a person talking, and the direction of the sound is then used to focus the area of laser illumination.

The present invention includes methods, circuits, devices, systems and associated computer executable code for acquiring, processing and rendering acoustic signals. According to some embodiments, one or more direction specific audio signals may be generated using a microphone array comprising two or more microphones and an audio stream generator. The audio stream generator may receive a direction parameter from an optical tracking system. There may be provided an audio rendering system adapted to normalize and/or balance acoustic signals acquired from a soundscape.

A signal processor for processing target echo signal is provided. The signal processor includes a filter configured to generate a filtered echo signal by extracting echo signal components within a predetermined frequency band from the target echo signal, a high resolution signal generator configured to generate a high resolution signal based on the target echo signal, and a synthesizing module configured to synthesize the filtered echo signal with the high resolution signal. The high resolution signal has higher resolution than the filtered echo signal.

An apparatus and method for generating a panoramic sound are provided. The panoramic sound generation apparatus may include a panning coefficient calculation unit to calculate a panning coefficient that represents directivity of a sound source using an input signal, a masker determination unit to determine a direction masker that extracts a sound source of a desired direction based on the panning coefficient, and a channel separation unit to separate to be used as an output signal, output to a sound output device, using the direction masker.

A multi-directional sensor may include a microphone array of three or more microphones mounted on a protective headgear. The microphone array may be positioned and configured so that its far field azimuth sensing range is unobstructed by the protective headgear. An accelerometer may be provided and mounted in a location which is fixed with respect to the microphones of the microphone array. A beacon, such as an ultrasonic transmitter or BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) transmitter may be associated with or attached to the protective headgear. The microphone array may be utilized with a beam-forming system in order to determine location of an audio source and a beam-steering system in order to isolate audio emanating from the direction of the audio source. The beam-forming system is suitable for tracking the movement of the audio source in order to inform the beam-steering system of the direction or location to be isolated. Because the microphone array will move with a user, a motion sensor may be provided to reduce the computational resources required for tracking and isolation by allowing compensation for change in position and orientation of the user. The beacon will facilitate location of the wearer.
