Claim Text:
1. An audio processing device comprising: circuitry configured to: factorize frequency information obtained by performing time-frequency transformation on an audio signal from a plurality of channels into a channel matrix representing characteristics of a channel direction, a frequency matrix representing characteristics of a frequency direction, and a time matrix representing characteristics of a time direction; obtain direction specification information specifying a matrix component relating to audio from a designated direction based on direction information of the designated direction and the channel matrix representing the designated direction; determine a direction specific amplification factor using the direction specification information; and extract the frequency information of audio from the designated direction based on the channel matrix, the frequency matrix, the time matrix, and the direction specification information by amplifying the frequency information by the direction specific amplification factor.
