Abstract: A method of processing which can include receiving input signals from a plurality of sources, data mining the input signals, interpreting the mined data, optionally providing a set of settings and processing the input signals based on the interpretation of the mined data and, optionally, the set of settings to produce output signals. The input signals can be data mined to identify one or both of unique characteristics and attributes associable with the input signals. The mined data can be interpreted in a manner so as to form association based on one or both of the unique characteristics and attributes. The output signals can correspond to adaptably altered input signals which can be associated with adaptable alteration of one or both of visual perception and audio perception of the input signals.

Abstract: A method is provided for generating a personalized Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF). The method can include capturing an image of an ear using a portable device, auto-scaling the captured image to determine physical geometries of the ear and obtaining a personalized HRTF based on the determined physical geometries of the ear. In addition, a system and a method in association with the system are also provided for customizing audio experience. Customization of audio experience can be based on derivation of at least one customized audio response characteristic which can be applied to an audio device used by a person. Finally, methods and systems are provided for rendering audio over headphones with head tracking enabled by, for example, exploiting efficiencies in creating databases and filters for use in filtering 3D audio sources for more realistic audio rendering and also allowing greater head movement to enhance the spatial audio perception.
Abstract: In embodiments of this invention howling sounds are removed without disturbing speech and music. Microphone signals are converted to the frequency domain where howling frequencies are detected and estimated using howling to noise ratios. A notch filter adaptively designed for the howling frequency is applied to remove the howling.

Abstract: There is provided a method for creating a stereoscopic image sequence. The method can include capturing a sequence of static images and forming a plurality of image pairs. Each image pair can include a first image and a second image selected from the sequence of static images. Selection of the first image can be done in a manner so that the image pairs are formed a spatially coherent manner. The stereoscopic image sequence can be created based on the image pairs. Creating the stereoscopic image sequence can, for example, relate to producing a stereoscopic video.
