AUDIO USER INTERACTION RECOGNITION AND CONTEXT REFINEMENT

摘要

A system which tracks a social interaction between a plurality of participants includes a fixed beamformer that is adapted to output a first spatially filtered output and configured to receive a plurality of second spatially filtered outputs from a plurality of steerable beamformers. Each steerable beamformer outputs a respective one of the second spatially filtered outputs associated with a different one of the participants. The system also includes a processor capable of determining a similarity between the first spatially filtered output and each of the second spatially filtered outputs. The processor determines the social interaction between the participants based on the similarity between the first spatially filtered output and each of the second spatially filtered outputs
