Patent number: 12445797Abstract: Described is a method performed by a computation device for generating a binaural audio stream, comprising: receiving an audio stream for a sound source; determining a measure of processing capability of the computation device; selecting, based on the determined measure, a filtering mode from among a predefined set of filtering modes for use in an audio filtering process intended to convert the audio stream into a binaural audio stream; determining, based on a relative position of the virtual source location to a virtual listener location in a virtual listening environment, filter parameters for a set of filters specified by the selected filtering mode; generating the binaural audio stream by applying the audio filtering process to the audio stream, using the set of filters specified by the selected filtering mode; and outputting the binaural audio stream for playback. Further described are corresponding computation devices, computer programs, and computer-readable storage media.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2022Date of Patent: October 14, 2025Assignee: DOLBY LABORATORIES LICENSING CORPORATIONInventors: Khoa-Van Nguyen, Stephane Giraudie, Benoit Senard
