Sound capture system and spatial filter for small devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Usage of cellular phones and small form factor devices as PDAs and other handhelds has been increasing rapidly. Their use is varied, with scenarios such as communication, internet browsing, audio and video recording just to name a few. This requires better sound capturing system as the sound source is already at larger distance from the device’s microphone. In this paper we propose sound capture system for small devices which uses two unidirectional microphones placed back-toback close to each other. The processing part consists of beamformer and a non-linear spatial filter. The speech enhancement processing achieves an improvement of 0.39 MOS points in the perceptual sound quality and 10.8 dB improvement in SNR.

The idea of providing hearing to profoundly deaf patients by artificially stimulating the sensory system has progressed from a futuristic possibility to reality. Generally, an implantable hearing device is designed to capture sound and present it to the auditory system, where at least part of the device is surgically implanted in the child receiving it. The goal of the implantable devices in yo...
متن کاملPlume outflow intrusion impact on acoustical signal fluctuations in a pre-stratified environment
Existence of outflow intrusion introduces small-scale turbulence that perturbs the vertically stratified character of the sound velocity and causes spatial and temporal fluctuations of the sound propagation. In this experimental study, we have investigated acoustic wave propagation with frequency of 50 kHz in a pre-stratified environment with intrusion of a turbulent plume while the si...
