  • 360-degree multi-source location detection, tracking and enhancement
    Patent number: 10957338
    Abstract: Audio processing systems and methods comprise an audio sensor array configured to receive a multichannel audio input and generate a corresponding multichannel audio signal and a target activity detector configured to identify audio target sources in the multichannel audio signal. The target activity detector includes a VAD, an instantaneous locations component configured to detect a location of a plurality of audio sources, a dominant locations component configured to selectively buffer a subset of the plurality of audio sources comprising dominant audio sources, a source tracker configured to track locations of the dominant audio sources over time, and a dominance selection component configured to select the dominant target sources for further audio processing. The instantaneous location component computes a discrete spatial map comprising the location of the plurality of audio sources, and the dominant location component selects N of the dominant sources from the discrete spatial map for source tracking.
