Application: Detection and mitigation of a wind whistle (Patent ID: US20240078992A1)
The patent filed by GoPro Inc. describes an image capture device that can detect wind whistles using multiple microphones. The device includes a processor that measures coherence values between the microphone signals across a frequency band, with each frequency bin having a coherence value measured. When an elevated coherence value is detected in a frequency bin, indicating the presence of a whistle, the processor attenuates the signal in that frequency bin if the elevated coherence value is above a set threshold. The device can further scale the signal, convert it to a time domain signal, and apply a notch filter based on the whistle frequency to reduce the whistle amplitude.
The patent also includes claims for a method and a non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions for implementing the detection and attenuation of wind whistles using the described techniques. The method involves obtaining microphone signals, measuring coherence values, detecting elevated coherence values indicating a whistle, and attenuating the signal in the corresponding frequency bin. The computer-readable medium contains instructions for measuring coherence values, detecting elevated coherence values, and attenuating the signal, along with additional steps like scaling the signal, converting it to a time domain signal, and applying a notch filter based on the whistle frequency. The patent aims to provide a solution for reducing wind noise interference in captured images or videos by effectively detecting and attenuating wind whistles using a multi-microphone system and signal processing techniques.
