Title: Multi-channel microphone mapping
Inventor: THOMAS IVAN HARVEY
IPC: H04S1/00
Filed: 2014-09-10
Abstract: A method of adaptively mapping several microphone signals to a multi-channel audio signal, for example to capture stereo audio from a device held in variable orientations 110, 120. At least two microphone signals, from at least two spaced apart microphones, are obtained. A device orientation signal is obtained from a sensor, which may be on the device with the microphones. The microphone signals are adaptively mapped, based on the device orientation signal, to produce the channels of a multi-channel audio signal. The microphone signals may come directly from the microphones, and the audio signal may be output to a storage device. Alternatively, the microphone and orientation signals may be stored, and the mapping carried out during playback. The mapping may: be based upon microphone parameters; include a stereo widening process, a beamforming algorithm or adaptive noise cancellation; indicate that a primary microphone is oriented in the same direction as a camera; be performed once per recording or on an ongoing basis; and may be smoothed over a transition period. The method may be carried out on a device comprising an audio signal processor, which may be a dedicated chip.

IPC: H04N21/4402
Filed: 2021-04-13
Abstract: Encapsulating subpicture bitstreams in at least one media file 413, the subpicture bitstreams corresponding to encoded media data of a subpicture corresponding to a rectangular region of video data. A method of encapsulating includes obtaining a plurality of subpicture bitstreams; encapsulating each subpicture bitstream in a subpicture track 406; generating at least one base track referencing at least two subpicture tracks and forming a spatial arrangement of the at least two subpicture tracks; generating information describing Adaption Parameter Set (APS) referenced by samples of the at least two subpicture tracks; and encapsulating the subpicture tracks, the at least one base track and the information describing APS in the at least one media file. Typically, each subpicture is encapsulated into a subpicture track, but this invention seeks to encapsulate tracks corresponding to a plurality of subpictures, called a merged subpicture track. The invention seeks to overcome the problem of APS collisions caused by different subpicture bitstreams having the same APS identifier and type but with different content. The encoded media data may have been encoded via block-based video coding such as High Efficiency Video coding (HEVC) or Versatile video Coding (VVC).
