  • Publication number: 20210084422
    Abstract: An image capture device includes a sensor, a microphone array, and a processor. The microphone array may include a first microphone, a second microphone, a third microphone, or any combination thereof. The first microphone may be configured to face a first direction. The second microphone may be configured to face a second direction. The second direction may be diametrically opposed to the first direction. The third microphone may be configured to face a third direction. The third direction may be substantially perpendicular to the first direction, the second direction, or both. The processor may be configured to determine a microphone capture pattern and detect wind noise. The microphone capture pattern may be determined based on data obtained from the sensor. The sensor data may include image data, audio data, image capture device orientation data, location data, accelerometer data, or any combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 8941499
    Abstract: A first sensor is coupled to a seat back surface and/or a seat belt, and a second sensor is positioned remotely from the first sensor. The first sensor is configured to generate a raw signal indicative of biological data and noise, and the second sensor is configured to generate a baseline signal indicative of noise associated with the first sensor. A computing device is programmed to determine a state of the occupant based on at least the raw signal and the baseline signal.
