IMAGE AND AUDIO BASED CHARACTERIZATION OF A HUMAN AUDITORY SYSTEM FOR PERSONALIZED AUDIO REPRODUCTION

摘要

An image sensor in a first earcup captures an image of a pinna. First sound is output by a first transducer in the first earcup located at the pinna and respective second sound is detected by each of one or more microphones in a second earcup located at the pinna. Based on the captured image and the respective second audio sound from each of the one or more microphones, a non-linear transfer function is determined which characterizes how sound is transformed by the pinna. A signal is generated indicative of one or more audio cues for spatializing third sound based on the determined non-linear transfer function.
