  • Acoustic processing device and acoustic processing method
    Patent number: 9720068
    Abstract: An acoustic processing device includes: a sound pickup unit configured to record an acoustic signal; a motion detection unit configured to detect the motion of the device; a self-localization unit configured to estimate the position of the device based on the acoustic signal and the motion; and a use determination unit configured to determine whether or not to use the acoustic signal in a sound source localization unit detecting the position of a target sound source to be detected based on the intensity of a reference signal incoming from a reference sound source determined in advance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 1, 2017
    Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.
    Inventors: Keisuke Nakamura, Kazuhiro Nakadai, Tetsuo Kinoshita, Hideyuki Takahashi, Lana Sinapayen
  • Sound processing device, sound processing method, and sound processing program
    Patent number: 9664772
    Abstract: A sound processing device includes a sound collection unit configured to record a sound signal, a tilt information acquisition unit configured to acquire tilt information on a tilt of the sound processing device, an azimuth estimation unit configured to estimate azimuths of a sound source in a plane in which the sound collection unit is arranged based on the sound signals which are recorded by the sound collection unit at least at two times; and an elevation angle estimation unit configured to estimate an elevation angle of the sound source with respect to the plane in which the sound collection unit is arranged based on the tilt information acquired by the tilt information acquisition unit and the azimuths estimated by the azimuth estimation unit at least at two times.
