具体实施方式
为使本发明实施例的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚明白, 下面结合实 施例和附图, 对本发明实施例做进一歩详细说明。 在此, 本发明的示意性实 施例及其说明用于解释本发明, 但并不作为对本发明的限定。
方法实施例
方法实施例 1
本发明的方法实施例 1可以通过附图 3进行说明
301、 针对一个终端, 由服务器获取相对于所述终端的至少 1路音频流; 在实施 301中, 所述针对一个终端, 由服务器获取相对于所述终端的音 频流具体可以为: 服务器获取相对于所述终端的多路音频流的能量; 服务器 根据所述获取的多路音频流的能量, 选择能量最大的至少 1路音频流。
可以理解,针对一个终端获取能量最大的几路音频流只是一种实现的方 式, 也可以获取所有的音频流, 其实现方式即不需要对能量进行计算, 直接 获取相关的音频流。
302、 所述服务器给所述获取到的相对于所述终端的至少 1路音频流分 配标识;
在实施 302中,所述服务器分配给相对于所述终端的至少 1路音频流的 标识, 具体可以采用会场号或终端号作为所述多路音频流的标识, 当然, 也 可以由会议管理员人工的分配, 或者由会议管理系统实时的分配。
比如当一个会场只有一个终端时,用会场号来标识歩骤 301从一个终端 获取到能量最大的至少一路音频流不会引起混淆。 但当一个会场有多个终端时, 此时就不能使用会场号来标识音频流。 由 于每个终端获取到的都是不同音频流,所以为了区分来自同一会场的多路音 频流, 将同一会场的多路音频流各自分配一个序号, 这个序号可以是与音频 流对应的终端号。服务器分配给每个与之连接的终端一个序号, 当根据歩骤 301获取相对于某个终端的音频流时, 本歩骤给所述音频流分配的标识可以 是该音频流对应所述终端的终端号。这样就能更有效的区分各个终端获取到 的音频流。
倘若歩骤 301获取到终端的音频流还携带有该音频流中音频信号对应声 源的方位信息,此时分配给音频流的标识可以是将终端号与方位信息组合的 标识。 方位信息一般携带在音频流的 RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol, 实 时传送协议, 通常可用于传输视频、 音频等实时性要求比较高的数据)包头 中, 当根据歩骤 301获取到相对于所述终端的音频流后, 服务器通过检测音 频流的 RTP包头获取方位信息,比如通过检测包头中字段上的标识来判断包 头中是否有方位信息, 其中字段中对应方位信息的标识是终端设置的; 还可 以通过设置 0或 1数值的方式来检测,本领域技术人员完全可根据掌握的普 通技术知识实现多种检测方式。然后将该音频流对应终端的终端号与该音频 流中的方位信息组合成标识, 分配给该音频流。 由于每个音频流中的方位信 息肯定不同,所以也可以采用会场号与方位信息组合标识的方式给音频流分 配标识。
由上述可以理解, 本发明的实施例中所述音频流的标识只是对所述音频 流分配的一种代号, 目的是为了区分出所述的音频流, 因此, 根据本发明的 实施例能够得到其他的标识获取方法, 对此, 本发明的实施例不做限制。
303、 所述服务器将所述获取到的相对于所述终端的至少 1路音频流以 及所述至少 1路音频流对应的所述标识进行组合并发送给目标终端。
在实施 303中,对于所述服务器将所述获取到的相对于所述终端的至少
1路音频流以及所述至少 1路音频流对应的所述标识进行组合的方式可以为 以下方式:
采用松散组合的方式, 即对所述获取的音频码流不做任何更改, 在对每 帧音频数据进行协议封装时,在协议的包头里加上歩骤 302中给所述所述至 少 1路音频流分配的标识;
和 /或
采用紧密组合的方式, 即将所述获取的单声道的音频码流进行编解码, 将所述编解码后的单声道的音频码流整合成一个多声道的码流,在所述的多 声道码流的帧头中增加多个声道对应的歩骤 302中给所述所述至少 1路音频 流分配的标识。
需要说明的是,对于所述服务器将所述的相对于所述终端的音频流与所 述音频流对应的标识进行组合的方式, 可以采用全部是松散组合的方式, 也 可以是全部是紧密组合的方式, 还可以是松散组合与紧密组合相结合的方 式。
音频流的标识可以在 IP包的协议包头, 也可以在音频帧的帧头。
采用本发明实施例的技术方案,使得终端能够根据接收到的其他终端的 音频流以及音频流所分配的标识, 对其他终端的声像位置进行自由的定位, 特别是当音频流中包括声源的方位信息时, 终端可以根据声源的方位信息更 准确的对声像位置进行的定位。 方法实施例 2
本发明的方法实施例 2主要针对单个服务器的情况的实施例方式进行说 明, 其处理过程可以通过附图 4所画的流程图进行说明
401、 服务器获取所述的各个终端对应的音频流;
在实施 401中, 各个终端一般对应于各个会场, 相应的终端获取相应会 场的音频流, 对应于各个终端的服务器获取到所述各个终端对应的音频流。
402、 服务器对所述获取到的音频流计算出其能量, 并选择出能量最大 的至少 1路音频流;
在实施 402时,服务器将 401中获取到的对应于各个终端的音频流分别 进行能量的计算,根据能量计算的结果,选择出能量最大的至少 1路音频流, 作为最终被选择的音频流;
其中, 在进行音频流能量的计算过程中, 可以采用以下的方法:
( 1 ) 计算解码后的音频流在时域中一帧时间内的音频能量, 计算多帧 音频信号后取平均; 或
(2 ) 计算解码后的音频流在频域中相应频域范围内的音频能量, 计算 多帧音频信号后取平均; 或
(3 ) 对音频流的量化因子进行解码, 从而估计出所述音频流的能量。 上述对音频流能量的计算可以归纳为 2类, 一类是基于解码方式的计算 方法, 主要对应于 (1 ) (2 )两种方式, 另外一类是基于非解码估计的方式, 主要对应于(3 )这种方式, 之所以采用这两类方式进行音频流能量的估算, 主要是由于针对不同的协议,对于一些音频协议(例如: G.723.1协议、 G.729 协议), 只有通过对音频流完全解码的方式才能够计算出所述音频流的能量, 对于另外一些音频协议 (例如: G.722.1协议、 AAC LD协议), 只需要对音 频流的某些参数进行解码, 就能够估计出音频流的能量。
在估算出音频流的能量之后, 根据音频会议的策略, 可以选择出其中的 能量最大的至少 1路音频流作为被选择的音频流。
可以理解, 上面对各路音频流的能量进行计算, 从而选择出能量最大的 至少 1路音频流, 只是选择音频流的一种实现方式, 也可以不计算各路音频 流的能量, 而将所有的与会会场的音频流都作为被选择的音频流。
403、 服务器获取被选择的至少 1路音频流对应的标识信息;
在实施 403中, 针对上述被选择的至少 1路音频流, 获取其对应的标识 信息。
其中,所述被选的音频流的标识信息具体可以采用该音频流对应的会场 号或终端号作为所述多路音频流的标识, 若获取到的音频流中包括该音频流 中音频信号对应声源的方位信息, 则也可以采用 "终端号与方位信息组合标 识"或 "会场号与方位信息组合标识" 的方式作为所述多路音频流的标识; 一般在该会场中只有一个终端的情况下采用会场号作为所述多路音频 流的标识。
一般在该会场中有一个或多个终端并且音频流中包含音频信号对应声 源的方位信息的情况下采用 "终端号与方位信息组合标识"或 "会场号与方 位信息组合标识" 作为所述多路音频流的标识。 其中各个音频流对应的方 位信息可以通过检测音频流的 RTP包头获得。
可以理解,本发明的实施例中所述音频流的标识只是对所述音频流分配 的一种代号, 目的是为了区分出所述的音频流, 比如标识也可以由会议管理 员人工的分配, 或者由会议管理系统实时的分配。 因此, 根据本发明的实施 例能够得到其他的标识获取方法, 对此, 本发明的实施例不做限制。
404、 服务器将所述被选择的音频流与所述获取到的标识信息相组合; 在实施 404中, 将所述被选择的至少 1路音频流, 与所述获取到的被选 择的音频流的标识信息进行组合。
其中, 进行组合的方式包括:
采用松散组合的方式, 即对所述获取的音频码流不做任何更改, 在对每 帧音频数据进行协议封装时,在协议的包头里加上歩骤 403获取到的所述至 少 1路音频流对应的标识;
和 /或
采用紧密组合的方式, 即将所述获取的单声道的音频码流进行编解码, 将所述编解码后的单声道的音频码流整合成一个多声道的码流,在所述的多 声道码流的帧头中增加多个声道对应的音频流标识, 该标识及歩骤 403获取 到的标识。
需要说明的是,对于将所述的相对于所述终端的音频流与所述音频流对 应的标识进行组合的方式, 可以采用全部是松散组合的方式, 也可以是全部 是紧密组合的方式, 还可以是松散组合与紧密组合相结合的方式。
405、 服务器将所述与标识信息组合后的音频流根据相应的发送策略发 送给对应的各个目标终端。
在实施 405中,将所述与标识信息组合后的音频流发送给对应的各个目 标终端, 具体可以采用如下的策略:
即: 如果被选择出的音频流中包括某一个终端所获取的音频流, 则发送 给目标终端的音频流则是去除所述终端获取音频流的之后的其他被选择出 的音频流; 如果被选择的音频流不包括某一个终端所获取的音频流时, 则发 送给所述终端的是所有被选择的音频流。
为了更加清晰的说明这种音频流的发送策略, 参考图 5a,对上述策略进 行说明, 图 5a中共包含 4个终端以及一个服务器, 各个终端对应于各个会 场,所以此处的终端号也即会场号。其中,各个终端到服务器的虚线含义为: 各个终端将自身采集到的音频流上传给服务器,服务器到各个终端的实线含 义为: 服务器将选择出的音频流下发给各个终端。 假设经过服务器的计算, 终端 2、 3是能量最大音频流对应的终端, 因此, 服务器就将音频流 2、 3分 别下发给终端 1和终端 4, 服务器将音频流 3下发给终端 2, 将音频流 2下 发给终端 3。
如图 5b所示,图 5b中仍共包含 4个终端以及一个服务器,但终端 1、 2、 3属于一个会场(如图中虚线所示), 终端 4为另一个会场。其中虚实线的含 义与图 5a相同。 假设经过服务器的计算, 终端 2是其所在会场中能量最大 音频流对应的终端, 因此, 服务器就将音频流 4分别下发给终端 1、 终端 2 和终端 3, 服务器将音频流 2下发给终端 4。 本示例中各个终端不对应于各 个会场, 所以此处的终端号不是会场号。
采用本发明实施例的技术方案,使得终端能够根据接收到的其他终端的 音频流以及音频流所分配的标识, 对其他终端的声像位置进行自由的定位, 特别是当音频流中包括声源的方位信息时, 终端可以根据声源的方位信息更 准确的对声像位置进行的定位。 方法实施例 3
本发明的方法实施例 3主要针对多个服务器相级联的情况的实施例方式 进行说明, 其结构可以通过图 6来说明
在图 6中, 我们可以看出共有三个服务器, 以及四个终端, 其中终端 1 与终端 2属于服务器 2,终端 3和终端 4属于服务器 3,服务器 2与服务器 3 通过服务器 1级联在一起, 其中, 可以将服务器 1看成是主服务器, 而服务 器 2与服务器 3看成是服务器 1的从服务器。
对于多服务器相级联的情况, 其处理过程为, 参考图 7的流程图:

本发明的方法实施例 4主要针对至少 1个终端与多个服务器级联相结合 的情况的实施例方式进行说明, 其结构可以通过图 8来说明
由图 8可以看出, 包含三个服务器, 其中, 服务器 1为主服务器, 服务 器 2与服务器 3为从服务器, 这三个服务器构成服务器级联的形式, 另外, 图 8共包括 6个终端,其中,终端 1、 2处于从服务器 2的管辖之下,终端 3、 4为从服务器 3的管辖之下, 终端 5、 6为直接与主服务器 1相连的终端。

906、 所述主服务器将所述与标识信息组合后的音频流根据相应的发送 策略发送给对应的各个终端或从服务器。
由于本歩骤的实现过程类似于本发明的方法实施例 2中的 405, 在此不 再赘述。 可以理解,本发明的方法实施例 4只给出三个服务器构成的服务器级联 以及主服务器管辖的两个终端的形式, 对于更多服务器的级联, 以及主服务 器管辖更多的终端的实现的方式, 同样可以根据本实施例的过程来完成。
采用本发明实施例的技术方案,使得终端能够根据接收到的其他终端的 音频流以及音频流所分配的标识, 对其他终端的声像位置进行自由的定位, 特别是当音频流中包括声源的方位信息时, 终端可以根据声源的方位信息更 准确的对声像位置进行的定位。
方法实施例 5
本方法实施例针对终端对接收到的音频流进行的处理,参看图 10,其实 现过程具体为:
1001、 获取携带有标识的至少 1路音频流, 并从获取到的至少 1路音频 流中提取标识信息;
在实现 1001中, 先获取携带有标识的至少 1路音频流, 比如接收服务 器发送的携带有标识的至少 1路音频流。 再从获取到的音频流的 IP包的协 议包头, 或者从音频帧的帧头提取所述的标识信息。
1002、 根据所述的提取的标识信息对具有同一标识的音频流进行分流; 在实现 1002中, 由于不同的音频流, 其标识信息不相同, 对于同一标 识的音频流进行分流, 相同标识的音频流分配给同一个解码模块。
1003、 根据所述提取的标识信息为各路分流后的音频流分配声像位置; 在实现 1003中,利用歩骤 1001提取出来的音频流的标识信息可以进行 声像位置的分配。
声像位置的分配可以通过用户预先指定, 即某个声像位置固定分配给某 一个终端, 也可以自动分配, 自动分配可以根据以下原则进行:
当所述标识只包括会场号时: (1 ) 如果音频流对应的标识和正在观看的 终端一致, 则分配中间的声像位置, 在图 11 中该位置即为电视机前的虚拟 声像位置。采用这种方法分配的好处是,声像位置和正在观看的图像相匹配。
(2 ) 如果某终端的音频信号能量较大, 则分配前面的声像位置, 这样 可以保证远端说话人的声音来自前面。
(3 ) 如果某终端的音频信号能量较小, 则分配两侧的声像位置, 这样 的终端可能只是噪声, 分配在两侧可以让噪声和远端说话人的声音分离的较 开, 从而保证说话人声音的清晰度。
当所述标识只包括终端号时: 如果音频流中的终端号和正在观看的终端 一致, 则分配和图像相匹配声像位置, 对应于图 11, 即分配前面两个扬声器 (P2和 P3 ) 之间的声像位置; 如果不一致, 则分配两侧的声像位置, 对应 于图 11, 可以分配 P1和 P2两个扬声器之间的声像位置。
当所述标识包括终端号和方位信息时: 首先根据终端号进行分配, 如果 音频流中的终端号和正在观看的终端一致, 则分配和图像相匹配声像位置, 对应于图 11, 即分配前面两个扬声器 (P2和 P3 ) 之间的声像位置; 如果不 一致, 则分配两侧的声像位置, 对应于图 11, 可以分配 P1和 P2两个扬声 器之间的声像位置。 由于音频流标识中还包括该音频流的方位信息, 此时利 用终端号和方位信息可以进行更准确的声像分配。例如在上述终端号分配完 毕后, 如果某音频流的终端号和正在观看的终端一致, 其水平方位是左中的 位置, 这说明图像中的说话人应该也在左中的位置, 此时可将该音频流的声 像分配在相对于图像的左中位置, 对应于图 11, 即分配前面两个扬声器(P2 和 P3 ) 之间的左中位置。
1004、 将所述分流后的音频流进行解码, 并根据所述的音频流的声像位 置信息, 对所述解码后的音频流进行 3D声处理。
在实现 1004中,对于歩骤 1002中根据相同的标识信息分配在同一音频 流的音频流进行解码, 利用 1003分配的声像位置信息, 对所述的解码后的 音频流进行 3D声处理。 本发明的方法实施例都用到了 3D声处理, 其他地方不再赘述。 3D声处 理的目的是通过利用左右两个音箱来营造出一个立体声场, 3D 声处理的具 体过程可以通过如下的例子进行说明, 参见图 11 :
在图 11 中, 扬声器 pl、 p2之间的距离为 d, 虚拟声像 vl距离扬声器 pi之间的距离为 w, 假设某个音频流 si分配的声像位置为 vl,则可将 si乘 上增益 gl输送到 pl, si乘上增益 g2输送到 p2, gl、 g2可按下式计算: w/d = (gl - g2)/(gl + g2) (1)
c=gl x gl+g2 x g2 (2)
公式 (1 )、 (2) 中 gl是左声道幅度增益, g2是右声道幅度增益, c 是一个固定值, 例如可以等于 1。
当计算出左右声道的增益信息时, 就能够模拟出立体的声场。
本实施例不仅能够使得终端根据接收到的其他终端的音频流以及音频 流所分配的标识, 对其他终端的声像位置进行自由的定位, 将混杂在一起的 不同声源所对应的音频信号分离出来, 并计算出不同声源所对应的音频信号 的位置信息, 使得声音输出后接收侧终端可以很好地模拟再现原始真实声 场。 方法实施例 6
本发明实施例提供一种获取所述音频流中音频信号对应声源的方位信 息的方法, 如图 12所示, 图 12是根据本发明实施例提供的获取所述音频流 中音频信号对应声源的方位信息的方法的流程图。 该流程图包括下列歩骤:
1201、 获取来自本地各个声源的多路音频信号;
在实施歩骤 1201过程中, 所述获取来自本地各个声源的多路音频信号 是采用多个麦克风组成的麦克风阵列采集本地同时说话的多个人(即多个声 源)的语音信号, 从而捕获多路声音信号, 将其转换为多路音频信号。 其中 本地可以指麦克风阵列所在本方会场。 1202、 将获取的多路音频信号进行声源分离, 得到与所述各个声源对应 的音频信号;
在实施歩骤 1202中, 所述将获取的多路音频信号进行声源分离采用盲 源分离方法。
下面详细说明盲源分离方法:
图 13是图 12中所示的盲源分离方法的基本原理框图。 所谓盲源分离, 是指在不知道源信号和传输信道的先验信息的情况下, 根据输入信号的统计 特征, 仅由观测到的混合信号来回复或分离出源信号。 也就是说, 源信号是 不能被观测到的, 得到的是混合后的信号; 另外, 各个不同的源信号是如何 混合的也是未知的。 典型的被观测信号是一系列传感器的输出, 而每一个传 感器收到的是源信号的不同组合。盲源分离的主要任务就是从观测数据中恢 复出源信号。 对应于本发明的实施例中, 麦克风阵列采集同时说话的多个人 的语音信号, 从而获得多路语音, 利用盲源分离技术从这多路语音中恢复出 每个人对应的语音信号, 也就是从多路语音中分离出与多个声源对应的音频 信号。盲源分离方法的基本原理就是使观测信号经过一个分离系统后能恢复 或分离出源信号。 如图 13所示, N个相互统计独立的未知源信号8 =[81 :), s2(t), …, sN(t)]T经未知混合系统 H的传输后, 由 M个传感器检测获得 M 个观测信号 X =[xl(t), x2(t), ..., xM(t)]T 。 盲源分离的任务是将观测信号 通过信号分离器(即, 通过分离算法)后使得输出 y =[yl(t), y2(t),..., yN(t)]T 是源信号的一个拷贝或估计。
目前解决盲源分离最主要的方法有如下三种: 独立分量分析方法、 熵最 大化方法以及非线性主分量分析方法。
1203、根据所述获取的多路音频信号及用来获取来自各个声源的多路音 频信号的装置之间的位置关系计算出与所述各个声源对应的方位信息;
在实施歩骤 1203 的过程中, 所述根据所述获取的多路音频信号及用来 获取来自各个声源的多路音频信号的装置之间的位置关系计算出与所述各 个声源对应的方位信息具体包括:估算所述多路音频信号传播到所述用来获 取来自各个声源的多路音频信号的各个装置之间的相对时延; 根据估算出的 所述相对时延及用来获取来自各个声源的多路音频信号的装置之间的位置 关系计算出与所述各个声源对应的方位信息。
下面详细说明基于时延估算的声源定位算法:
图 14是图 12中所示的麦克风阵列捕捉声音信号的示意图。 如图 14所 示, 由于声源与各个麦克风之间的距离不同, 所以声源发出的声音信号传播 到麦克风阵列中的不同麦克风的时间不同。 例如存在两个声源, 声源 1发出 的声音信号传播到麦克风阵列中的各个麦克风的时间是不同的, 声源 2发出 的声音信号传播到麦克风阵列中的各个麦克风的时间也是不同的, 这样从不 同的麦克风输出的对应同一声源的音频信号的时间也不相同。因此首先估算 与各个声源对应的音频信号之间的相对时延, 然后利用估算出来的相对时延 结合已知的麦克风之间的位置关系确定各个声源的方位。时延估算算法中应 用最为广泛的是广义互相关函数法 (GCC, Generalized Cross Correlation:)。 广 义互相关函数法通过求两音频信号之间的互功率谱, 并在频域内进行加权, 对噪声和反射声进行抑制, 再反变换到时域, 得到两音频信号间的互相关函 数。 互相关函数的峰值位置即为两音频信号之间的相对时延。得到音频信号 之间的时延后, 结合已知的麦克风之间的位置关系, 即可得到与声源对应的 方位信息。
1204、 发送包括所述本地各个声源对应的音频信号和方位信息的音频 流。
此处,方位信息可以设置在音频流的 RTP包头中,从而将携带方位信息 的音频流进行发送, 其中在将方位设置于信息包头中时可在相应的包头的字 段中设置标识以便服务器在接收到音频流时根据标识检测出包头中的方位 信息。 或根据设置 0或 1数值的方式标记包头中是否有方位信息, 总之本领 域技术人员可根据普通的技术知识进行设置, 以使服务器在接收到音频流后 检测出包头中的方位信息。
需要说明的是, 本实施例所述的方法是获取声源的方位信息, 所以与上 述实施例中的对 3D声处理的方法并不冲突, 本实施例所述的方法可以在对 3D声进行处理之前实现, 比如在实施例 5的歩骤 1001之前获取麦克风阵列 所在场景中的声源的方位信息, 说明此时对端在收听本端的声音。 当然也可 以是在实施例 5对 3D声进行处理之后完成, 说明此时本端在根据对端的说 话内容进行回答, 其主要是基于麦克风阵列所在场景中的声源的状况来实 现, 由此可以推断, 本实施例所述的方法完全可以与实施例五所述的方法并 存, 比如设计在同一个终端中, 这样不仅可以实现实施例五所述的方法也可 以实现本实施例所述的方法。
本实施例的终端可以获取声源的方位信息, 并将获取到的方位信息设置 于音频流的包头中发送, 以使服务器可以根据音频流中的方位信息分配给音 频流作为标识。 系统实施例
