Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of the restitution of sound data.
- telecommunication terminals especially mobile terminals, for which it is envisaged a sound reproduction with a stereophonic listening system (a headset for example) allowing the listener to position the sound sources in space.
- a stereophonic listening system a headset for example
- the invention exploits linear invariant and stationary systems that can be characterized by a set of filters depending on a direction between the sound source and one of the auditory canals of the listener.
- This set of filters represents the directivity of the system.
- the filters can be represented in their time (as impulse response) or frequency (as transfer function) form.
- an individual or an artificial head with a microphone at the entrance of each auditory canal are particular cases of such an invariant and stationary linear system.
- the system can be characterized by its transfer functions, specific to each individual.
- the transfer functions define the spatial characteristics of the individual's hearing by taking into account the reflections related to his morphology.
- the transfer functions are conventionally called RTF type transfer functions for "Head Related Transfer Function", when the filters are given in the frequency domain, and HRIR for "Head Related Impulse Response", when the filters are given in the domain. temporal. It is possible to switch from one representation to another by a Fourier transform.
- the HRTF transfer functions are thus a set of complex values. It is possible to return to real values by taking their respective modules: the modules of the HRTFs are thus obtained.
- the invention can be generalized to directivity of systems having different shapes and / or numbers of sensors (for example a mobile phone with 3 microphones). Without impairing the generalization of the invention to any linear system that can be characterized by ORTF, and to facilitate the understanding of the invention, it is considered here the particular case of DTF transfer functions. Indeed one can pass DTF transfer functions HRTF transfer functions by calculating minimal phase filters associated with DTF transfer functions and adding a delay delay modeling propagation delays between capsules (inter-aural delay by a human ). The customization of these delays is obtained by other well known techniques not described here.
- a technique using HRTF transfer functions is binaural synthesis. This technique relies on the use of so-called "binaural" filters, which reproduce the acoustic transfer functions between the sound source (s) and the auditory canals of the listener. These filters are used to simulate auditory location indices that allow a listener to locate sound sources in real listening situations.
- the techniques related to binaural synthesis are therefore based on a pair of binaural signals that feeds a rendering system.
- the two binaural signals can be obtained by signal processing, by filtering a monophonic signal through binaural filters that reproduce the properties of acoustic propagation between the source placed at a given position and each of the auditory canals of the listener.
- the binaural synthesis can be used for different renditions such as for example a playback by means of a headset with two earpieces, or by means of two loudspeakers.
- the goal is reconstruction of a sound field at the level of the listener's ears almost identical to that which would have induced real sources in space.
- Binaural filters take into account all the acoustic phenomena that modify the acoustic waves in their path between the source and the auditory canals of the listener. Acoustic phenomena include diffraction by the head of the listener and reflections on the auditory horn and the upper torso of the user.
- acoustic phenomena vary according to the position of the sound source with respect to the listener and the variations allow the listener to locate the source in the space. Indeed, these variations determine a form of acoustic coding of the position of the source.
- the auditory system of an individual knows, by learning, to interpret this coding to locate the sound source or sources.
- a quality binaural synthesis is therefore based on binaural filters that best reproduce the acoustic coding naturally produced by the listener's body, taking into account the individual characteristics of its morphology.
- binaural rendering performance degradation is induced, which is reflected in particular by an intracranial perception of sources and confusion between the front and rear locations.
- the binaural filters represent the acoustic transfer functions or transfer functions of the HRTF type which model the transformations generated by the torso, the head and the horn of the listener on the acoustic signal coming from a sound source.
- HRTF transfer functions
- Each sound source position is associated with a pair of HRTF functions, one for each ear.
- these HRTF transfer functions carry the acoustic fingerprint of the morphology of the individual on which they were measured.
- the HRTF transfer functions are obtained during a measurement phase. A selection of directions that cover more or less finely all of the space surrounding the listener is fixed. For each direction, HRTF transfer functions left and right are measured by means of microphones inserted at the entrance of the auditor's ear canals. In general, a sphere centered on the listener is thus defined.
- the measurement For a measurement of good quality, the measurement must be performed in an anechoic chamber, or deaf chamber, so that only the reflections and acoustic phenomena related to the listener are taken into account.
- M directions we obtain, for a given listener, a database of 2M transfer functions of type H RTF (because two right and left auditory channels) representing, for each auditory canal, each of the positions of sources.
- a practical solution that is starting to emerge is to offer the user the ability to measure their own HRTF transfer functions in their usual listening environment to emulate their listening experience on a headset. in the studio or in his living room.
- the drawbacks associated with this type of solution are linked to the fact of measuring only a small number of fixed positions and making it difficult to separate the information related to the broadcasting device itself and the listening location.
- a first track consists of calculating the filters from the acquisition of the morphology of the listener and in particular of his flag.
- Customization can also be based on the transformation of non-individual HRTF transfer functions extracted from a database including morphologies associated with HRTF transfer functions ("Individualization of Spectral Indices for Binaural Synthesis: Research and Exploitation of Interindividual Similarities"). the adaptation or reconstruction of HRTF, "Guillon, P, PhD Thesis, University of Maine, Le Mans, France, 2009).
- the transformation of the HRTF transfer functions to adapt them to a given individual is then controlled by comparing the morphologies of the origin flag from the database and the target flag of the given individual. This comparison is based on a technique of matching the three-dimensional meshes of the pavilions. Another method consists in using morphological parameters to create or deform a three-dimensional mesh, which will then be used for a detailed calculation and a numerical simulation of the HRTF transfer functions of the individual, for example by finite element of the border. It is also possible, from the morphological parameters of a given individual, to search a database for a third individual with similar morphological parameters.
- One method for acquiring pavilion morphology is to use a three-dimensional scan, but this method is sometimes problematic in that it requires both specific hardware and implementation.
- the first approach is to study the ability of auditors to appropriate generic HRTF transfer functions that are not initially adapted to them.
- the second approach suggests a computer learning of the reactions of a user participating in an interactive game or answering an interactive questionnaire. The computer iteratively recreates the HRTF transfer function set that is suitable for the user based on the observation of its location performance and / or responses.
- the present invention improves the situation.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to a process for processing individualized data and representative of the directivity of an individualized audio system, the method comprising the following steps:
- the successive decomposition in a first base of N independent components common to all the individuals of the first set, then in a second base of P independent components advantageously makes it possible to compress the stored data.
- the numbers N and P of independent components may be chosen according to criteria related to the size of the stored data and the desired accuracy for the filter sets.
- the second base of P independent components may be a P-order spherical harmonics base and the second set of weighting coefficients may be a set of spherical coefficients.
- the decomposition in a base of spherical harmonics advantageously makes it possible to have sets of spherical coefficients that are easily transformable by applying transformations involving a rotation.
- each individual of the initial set of individuals may further be associated with a set of morphological data, and the method may further comprise the following steps:
- Storing the filter sets in the form of morphological data advantageously makes it possible to easily apply transformations in order to adapt the second set of weighting coefficients of an individual of the initial set.
- the initial set can thus be used as a starting point for a quick and non-binding determination of filter sets for users other than users of the initial set.
- the transformation may comprise at least the application of a rotation matrix to the set of spherical coefficients associated with the selected individual.
- the method may further comprise the following steps: - application of a homothety with N independent components, the homothety being determined from the current morphological data, in order to obtain N independent transformed components;
- the method may further comprise the following steps:
- the method comprises the application of an inverse Fourier transform to the new set of filters prior to temporal resampling.
- the morphological data relate at least to the auditory flag of the user.
- morphological data having the most influence on the filter set associated with an individual are taken into account when determining a new game for a new individual.
- the filters may be transfer functions in the frequency domain (or the modules of these transfer functions), each independent component may be a function having a non-zero spectrum in a frequency band given, and the given frequency bands can be distinct.
- independent components can be expressed in logarithmic frequency scale.
- the modules of the set of filters can be deconvolved by a spatial mean of the modules of the set of filters and the N independent components can be determined from the deconvolved modules.
- This embodiment makes it possible to reduce the variance of the filters by eliminating the common part of all the filters and makes it possible to work on real rather than complex values (DTF).
- a second aspect of the invention relates to a computer program product comprising program code instructions recorded on a computer readable medium for performing the steps of the method according to the first aspect of the invention.
- a third aspect relates to an individualized data processing device representative of the directivity of an audio system, the device comprising a processor configured for:
- FIG. 1 is a diagram representing the steps of a data processing method according to one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 2 represents a decomposition of a set of filters in a base of independent components according to one embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 3 represents independent components obtained from an initial set of filter sets according to one embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 4 illustrates directivity figures for the same independent component for eight different individuals, according to one embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 5 illustrates a device according to one embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating the general steps of a data processing method according to an embodiment of the invention.
- a custom filter set is obtained.
- the initial set of individuals is a restricted set of individuals for whom state-of-the-art solutions could be applied to obtain a custom set of filters for each individual.
- each individual has been tested in an anechoic chamber to obtain at least one set of custom filters.
- two sets of custom filters are obtained for each individual, one for each ear canal.
- the sets of filters of the initial set of individuals are stored at a step 102, for example in a memory of a device implementing the method according to the invention.
- Filter sets can be expressed as matrix coefficients.
- the example of HRTF transfer functions in the frequency domain is considered in an unrestricted way as filter sets.
- N independent components common to the sets of filters obtained are determined.
- the independent component decomposition disclosed in the document "Independent Behavior Analysis", Stone JV, 2004, John Wiley & Sons can be applied to the filter modules of a set (HRTF transfer functions), the modules being optionally deconvoluted (frequency division) by the spatial mean of the set of filters.
- HRTF transfer functions Harmonics, or a set
- Such an operation is equivalent to removing HRTF transfer functions frequency components common to all filters.
- Such deconvolved modules are called DTF thereafter.
- the modules may be optionally smoothed so as to keep only the frequency variations that are relevant from a perceptual point of view.
- any HRTF transfer function module (or DTF) of the initial set of individuals can be reconstructed by a linear combination of weighted coefficient weighted independent components, as shown in FIG.
- a first matrix 200 of coefficients wy, i varying between 1 and M (2 * M being the total number of measured directions, M filters corresponding to one of the two ears of the listener) and j varying between 1 and N represents the coefficients of weighting obtained after decomposition of the filters corresponding to one of the ears of a game on a base formed of N independent components.
- a second matrix 201 of coefficients c n, f, with n varying between 1 and N and f varying between 1 and F represents the coefficients of N independent components, each line corresponding to one of N independent components.
- a third matrix 202 represents a set of filters (deconvoluted modules HRTF transfer functions in the previous example) for an individual, for an ear, obtained in step 1 01, and includes coefficients d m, f, m varying between 1 and M and f varying between 1 and F.
- Each line m of the third matrix 202 represents a filter for a direction of the given space, and each column corresponds to a frequency (or a frequency band more precisely), thus reflecting the spectrum of HRTF transfer functions.
- the modules of the HRTF transfer functions can be logarithmic or linear scale, in abscissa or ordinate, which results in four distinct configurations (linear, linear), (logarithmic, linear), (linear, logarithmic) and (logarithmic, logarithmic).
- a logarithmic scale on the abscissa amounts to resampling the spectrum of a transfer function (a line of the matrix 202) with a logarithmic and non-linear frequency step, which more accurately reflects the perceptual functioning of the human ear. (more sensitive in high frequencies than low frequencies).
- a logarithmic scale on the y-axis amounts to considering 20 * log-i 0 (abs (HRTF)), abs (HRTF) representing the modules of the transfer functions H RTF.
- each line of the second matrix 201 represents an independent component, each coefficient of the line corresponding to the energy of the independent component in a given frequency band.
- the first matrix 200 depends on the azimuth and the elevation (on the ordinate) and the weights assigned to each independent component (on the abscissa).
- the set of coefficients w min for a given column n represents, for an individual, the directivity for an independent component for the component n.
- Each index m corresponding to a measurement for a direction (azimuth (m), elevation (m)).
- the first matrix 200 is determined in a step 104, by decomposition of each of the sets of filters obtained in step 101, in the base formed from the N independent components.
- the coefficients of a column of the first matrix 200 represent the values of the weights for an independent component for the different directions of measurements. They thus represent a figure of spatial directivity.
- FIG. 4 illustrates such spatial directivity figures for eight individuals of the initial set of individuals, according to one embodiment of the invention. It can be seen in Figure 4 that spatial directivities are similar from one individual to another and that rotations can be applied to approximate these spatial directivities.
- FIG. 4 presents the weighting coefficients of the first matrix 200, for each individual, applied to the third independent component (third line of the second matrix 201) for eight different individuals. These are therefore the respective third columns of the first matrices 200 for the eight individuals.
- the columns are redrawn by the same elevation and represented in a three-dimensional way.
- the abscissa corresponds to the azimuth expressed in degrees
- the ordinate corresponds to the elevation in degrees.
- the third dimension is represented by color variations (in shades of gray in Figure 4). The shades of gray represent the weighting coefficient values.
- Figure 4 can thus be interpreted as a set of directivity figures for the third independent components of eight individuals in the initial set.
- the invention provides for decomposing at step 105 each set of weighting coefficients (each first matrix 200 of an individual of the initial set ) in a base of P functions independent in the mathematical sense, for example in a basis of spherical harmonics of order P-1, in order to obtain a set of spherical coefficients.
- the choice of the base of spherical harmonics allows the easy application of rotations to the sets of spherical coefficients in order to recalculate a new set of spherical coefficients following a rotation of the measurement frame, which is not the case of a basis of two-dimensional independent components.
- the determination of a set of spherical coefficients amounts to making a Spatial Fourier transform of the directivities (of a first matrix 200, therefore).
- the decomposition of the directivities cw lc p for the component independent ic to the order P in spherical harmonics is expressed as follows:
- HS i is a vector of the size of the number of measurements and whose value is the value of the spherical harmonic i for the measurement direction corresponding to the index m (azimuth (m), elevation (m))
- each set of spherical coefficients obtained in association with an individual identifier to which it corresponds.
- the decomposition in spherical harmonics thus makes it possible to completely characterize a set of filters corresponding to the directivity of the ear canal of one of the individuals by means of spherical coefficients q ui which are of dimension P * N, where P-1 is the order decomposition into spherical harmonics and N the number of independent components.
- the base of spherical harmonics and the N independent components are common to all individuals, and thus to all sets of HRTF or DTF filters.
- N 64 independent components
- the values of the base of spherical harmonics they can be calculated or stored in tables.
- N and P can thus be chosen according to a compromise between the compression level and storage constraints, and this to ensure that the complexity of HRTF transfer functions is reduced after successive decompositions.
- a second advantage arising from the successive application of a decomposition on a basis of N independent components and then on a basis of spherical harmonics is related to the customization of the transfer functions HRTF or DTF.
- the steps 101 to 106 detailed previously have been applied to an initial set of individuals, the set comprising a small number of individuals (about fifty for example) because of the complexity related to the acquisition of the functions of HRTF transfer at step 101.
- sets of spherical coefficients determined for this small number of individuals can also be used to quickly determine a set of filters for a new individual, not belonging to the initial set.
- the method according to the invention may comprise obtaining current morphological data of a new individual.
- a transformation that can include a simple rotation defined by three axes of rotation ( ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ ).
- ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ a simple rotation defined by three axes of rotation
- the parameters ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ may further depend on a factor f representing a frequency band or a set of frequency bands.
- morphological data of the individuals of the first set can also be obtained in step 101 previously described and then stored in step 102. These morphological data can describe the geometry of the linear system whose directivity is characterized by the set of associated filters.
- the current morphological data are compared with the set of morphological data of the individuals of the initial set, with a view to selecting, at a step 109, an individual from the initial set. For example, the individual of the initial set having the parameters closest to the current parameters is selected.
- the individual of the initial set having the parameters closest to the current parameters is selected.
- a transformation to be applied to the set of spherical coefficients associated with the selected individual is determined from the current morphological data.
- the transformation is determined by determining the first parameters that make it possible to pass data Morphological data to the morphological data of the selected individual of the initial set. In the example above, the values of the rotation found in the previous step are used. From these first parameters, the transformation parameters are deduced making it possible to transform the set of filters of the selected individual into a new set of filters.
- such a method amounts to determining a transformation model and its parameters on the sets of filters characterizing the directivity of the systems from a signal point of view, another transformation model and its describing parameters, the geometries, shapes or morphologies of the systems, and also to determine a function to match these two models.
- the transformation is then applied to the set of spherical coefficients associated with the selected individual in order to obtain a set of spherical coefficients transformed at a step 1 1 1.
- the set of transformed spherical coefficients is stored in association with an identifier of the new individual at a step 1 12.
- homothety ⁇ can be applied in different ways:
- the first matrix 200 is obtained from the set of transformed spherical coefficients
- FIG. 5 shows device 500 according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the device 500 comprises a random access memory 503 and a processor 502 for storing instructions for carrying out the steps 101 to 112 of the method described above with reference to FIG. 1.
- the device also comprises a database 504 for storing data intended to be stored after the application of the method, in particular the sets of spherical coefficients, the independent components, and optionally the base of spherical harmonics.
- the device 500 further comprises an input interface 501 intended to receive the sets of filters of the initial set of individuals, and optionally the morphological parameters of the individuals of the initial set and the current morphological parameters.
- the device 500 further comprises an output interface 505 for the transmission of data resulting from the application of the method according to the invention. For example, the output interface may transmit the modified filter set or the transformed spherical coefficient set obtained for the new user.
- the present invention makes it possible to improve the quality of audio immersive rendering in binaural systems, since it makes it possible to easily obtain a set of filters personalized for an individual from morphological data, without requiring long and costly measurements on each of the individuals.
- the invention thus applies to communications services including audio conferencing and content broadcasting services or applications (music, movies, games, user interfaces, etc.).
- the present invention allows the compression of filter sets (HRTF or DTF for example), which facilitates the storage, exchange or loading thereof.
