Provided is a system for correcting the audio received by an audio sensor that has been distorted by the presence of water in a port associated with the audio sensor. More specifically. wearable computing devices can include audio sensors that can detect audio signals in the vicinity of the wearable computing devices. To enable the audio sensors to capture audio signal data more accurately, the wearable computing device can include a port (e.g., a microphone or “mic” port) that connects the audio sensor to the exterior of the wearable computing device. However, in some circumstances, the port can become partially or totally filled with water. For example, when a user is swimming while wearing the wearable computing device, the wearable computing device may be submerged and the port can become filled with water.
A wearable computing device, the wearable computing device comprising:
A computer-implemented method for correcting distortion introduced to audio data caused by water in a port associated with an audio sensor, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations, the operations comprising:
