Beamforming for wind noise optimized microphone placements

An image capture device with beamforming for wind noise optimized microphone placements, the image capture device comprising:

• a microphone configured to capture an audio signal, the microphone co-located with at least one optical component;
• another microphone configured to capture an audio signal;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• generate an audio source facing beam using the audio signal captured by the microphone and the audio signal captured by the other microphone;
• generate a non-rear facing beam using the audio signal captured by the other microphone, wherein the non-rear facing beam leans more toward an audio source than away from the audio source;
• and
• output an audio signal based on the audio source facing beam and the non-rear facing beam.

A method for beamforming for wind noise optimized microphone placements, the method comprising:

• capturing an audio signal from an audio source facing microphone on an image capture device;
• capturing an audio signal from another microphone on the image capture device, the microphone and the other microphone being angularly offset from an optical axis of an optical component on the image capture device;
• generating an audio source facing beam from the audio signal captured by the audio source facing microphone and the audio signal captured by the other microphone;
• generating a non-rear facing beam from at least the audio signal captured by the other microphone, wherein the non-rear facing beam leans more toward an audio source than away from the audio source;
• and
• outputting an audio signal based on the audio source facing beam and the non-rear facing beam.
