US 2024/0196145 A1 · ACOUSTIC INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION THROUGH SPEAKER-AWARE PROCESSING

Abstract

Disclosed are systems, methods, and other implementations for acoustic interference suppression, including a method that includes obtaining a multi-source sound signal sample combining multiple sound components from a plurality of sound sources in a sound environment, with the plurality of sounds sources including one or more interfering sound sources produced by one or more loudspeakers in the sound environment, determining interfering sound characteristics for one or more sound signals that correspond to the one or more interfering sound sources, and suppressing at least one of the multiple sound components associated with the determined interfering sound characteristics for at least one of the one or more sound signals.

Dependent claims

A method for suppressing acoustic interference, the method comprising:

obtaining a sample of a multi-source sound signal, wherein the sample includes sound components from sound sources that are in a sonic environment, wherein the sound sources include an interfering sound-source that is produced by a loudspeaker in the sonic environment, and wherein the multi-source sound signal includes an interfering signal from the interfering sound source;
determining sound characteristics of the interfering signal;
causing a machine-learning system to receive sound data that represents the multi-source sound signal, the machine-learning system being an interference-suppressing machine-learning system that has been trained to suppress sound produced by the interfering sound source;
and
using the machine-learning system, suppressing the interfering signal that is in the sample of the multi-source sound signal.
