Abstract:
A camera system capable of capturing images of an event in a dynamic environment includes two microphones configured to capture stereo audio of the event. The microphones are on orthogonal surfaces of the camera system. Because the microphones are on orthogonal surfaces of the camera system, the camera body can impact the spatial response of the two recorded audio channels differently, leading to degraded stereo recreation if standard beam forming techniques are used. The camera system includes tuned beam forming techniques to generate multi-channel audio that more accurately recreates the stereo audio by compensating for the shape of the camera system and the orientation of microphones on the camera system. The tuned beam forming techniques include optimizing a set of beam forming parameters, as a function of frequency, based on the true spatial response of the recorded audio signals.

Claim (Index 1):
A camera system, comprising:\n a camera body; an image sensor assembly; a first microphone on a first surface of the camera body; a second microphone on a second surface of the camera body; an audio assembly; and a processor, the processor coupled with a memory storing instructions that when executed causes the processor to:\n apply a set of tuned beam forming parameters in audio channels associated with orthogonality of the first surface and the second surface; \n process the audio channels using the set of tuned beam forming parameters to generate virtual microphone channels; and \n combine the virtual microphone channels into an audio stream that is configured for stereo audio playback.
