Abstract: An audio processing method for an audio system for a seat headrest, the audio system having at least two loudspeakers positioned on either side of the headrest and an audio processing module designed to apply at least one audio processing operation. The method includes the steps of: acquiring images of the head of a user of the audio system using an image acquisition device; processing the acquired images in order to determine, within a predetermined three-dimensional spatial reference frame, a spatial position of each ear of the user; and, on the basis of said determined spatial positions of the ears of the user and based on calibration information previously recorded in connection with an audio processing operation, determining calibration information for adapting the audio processing operation to the determined spatial positions of the ears of the user. Also included is an associated audio system for a seat headrest.

Abstract: A noise controlling method includes generating a reference signal representing a primary noise, generating a secondary noise in response to a control signal for cancelling the primary noise, generating an error signal representing a superposition of the primary and secondary noises at a position, generating an additional reference signal, secondary noise, or additional error signal, and generating the control signal for generating the secondary noise using adaptive subband filtering based on the reference and error signals, the generating the control signal including decomposing the reference signal and the error signal into a subband reference and error signal for each subband, updating subband adaptive filters for a subband based on the subband reference signal and the subband error signal, updating a fullband adaptive filter based on the updated subband adaptive filter, and generating the control signal by filtering the reference signal by the updated fullband adaptive filter.

Abstract: A method, a computer program and a system for ultrasonic inspecting of objects is provided. The method comprises positioning (103) a measuring device (11) comprising a plurality of transducers (12) on the inspected object (20) and performing a number of test signal acquisitions (103). Each acquisition includes using one transducer to induce an ultrasonic signal into the test object, and using at least one other transducer to receive an ultrasonic test signal. The inspecting further comprises determining (105, 205) the influence of contact surface variations between each test signal and a reference signal; compensating (106, 206) the full test signal for the contact surface variations; and determining (109) a residual signal. The system comprises a computing device (30), and a measuring system (13) communicatively connected to the computing device (30). The measuring system (13) includes an ultrasound unit (19) and a measuring device (11) provided with a plurality of transducers (12).
