  • Patent number: 12507029
    Abstract: Techniques for isolating audio signals related to audio sources within an audio environment are discussed herein. Examples may include receiving a plurality of audio data objects. Each audio data object includes digitized audio signals captured by a capture device positioned within an audio environment. Examples may also include inputting the audio data objects to a source localizer model that is configured to generate, based on the audio data objects, one or more audio source position estimate objects. Examples may also include inputting the audio data objects and each audio source position estimate object to a source generator model of one or more source generator models. The source generator model is configured to generate, based on the audio source position estimate object, a source isolated audio output component. The source isolated audio output component may include isolated audio signals associated with an audio source within the audio environment.

    Abstract: An example immersive audio signal processing system and a computer-implemented method for generating a target arena environment audio stream are provided. The example immersive audio signal processing system includes a plurality of multi-lobe digital sound wave capture devices positioned within the arena environment. The plurality of multi-lobe digital sound wave capture devices is configured to direct first beamformed lobes to a playing region of the arena environment, second beamformed lobes to a spectator region of the arena environment, and third beamformed lobes to a noise source region of the arena environment. A digital signal processor is configured to isolate noise audio components originating from at least the spectator region or the noise source region from the audio signal stream and generate a target arena environment audio stream.

  • Publication number: 20250259639
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, systems, and/or devices that are configured to separate multi-source audio signal samples into discrete source separated channel audio samples using trained multi-modal audio source channelization models. Multi-source audio signal samples are difficult to separate because they can include multiple target audio sources (e.g., individual speakers) that are often inter-mixed and overlaid with other audio sources such as noise, music, reverberations, and other audio artifacts. The multi-modal audio source channelization models discussed herein are trained to generate source separated channel audio samples based on audio signal samples and on video signal samples.

  • Publication number: 20240371357
    Abstract: Embodiments provide for employing an audio transformation model to resynthesize speech signals associated with a speaking entity. Examples can receive audio signals comprising speech signals that are captured by an audio capture device. Examples can divide the audio signals into audio segments and input the audio segments into an audio transformation model to generate a voice vector representation and a speech vector representation. The voice vector representation comprises characteristics related to a speaking voice associated with the speaking entity and the speech vector representation comprises one or more words spoken by the speaking entity. The one or more words comprised in the speech vector representation are associated with respective contextual attributes associated with the one or more words. The audio transformation model can utilize the voice vector representation and the speech vector representation to regenerate the speech signals associated with the speaking entity.
