Image-based techniques for audio content

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory in communication with the processor, the memory including instructions executable by the processor to perform operations, the operations including:
• receiving, from a first media device, audio data and image information, wherein the image information is captured via a video camera, and wherein the image information includes vibration information indicating vibrations of an object caused by sound in a vicinity of the object;
• generating an audio signal based on the audio data;
• comparing a quality of the audio signal to a threshold;
• responsive to the comparing the quality of the audio signal to the threshold, transmitting the audio signal to a second media device;
• and
• responsive to the comparing the quality of the audio signal to the threshold:
• extracting, at the device, the vibration information from the image information;
• generating audio content associated with the first media device from the vibration information extracted from the image information;
• and
• transmitting the audio content to the second media device.

A computer-readable storage device storing instructions executable by a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving, from a first media device, audio data and image information, wherein the image information is captured via a video camera, and wherein the image information includes vibration information indicating vibrations of an object caused by sound in a vicinity of the object;
• extracting the vibration information from the image information;
• generating audio information based on the vibration information extracted from the image information;
• generating audio content associated with the first media device from the audio information;
• comparing a quality of the audio content to a threshold;
• responsive to the comparing the quality of the audio content to threshold, transmitting the audio content to a second media device;
• and
• responsive to the comparing the quality of the audio content to the threshold:
• generating an audio signal based on the audio data;
• and
• transmitting the audio signal to the second media device.
