Description

[0002] An immersive video conferencing system is a video conferencing system that restores the conference scene to the greatest extent possible. Compared with traditional video conferencing systems, it provides users with a face-to-face video conferencing effect. In terms of video images, the immersive video conferencing system can restore the conference scene in proportion at the remote end; in terms of sound, the immersive video conferencing system can restore the stereoscopic effect of sound at the remote end. In addition to restoring the sound, it can also restore the location information of the sound. In the specific technical implementation process of the video conferencing system, video and audio are usually transmitted as independent media channels. In immersive video conferencing, due to the complexity of images and sounds, multiple channels are required to transmit video and audio respectively. Therefore, ensuring that images and sounds are played synchronously at the correct position (abbreviated as audio-visual synchronization) is a technical difficulty of the immersive video conferencing system and an important indicator for evaluating the quality of the immersive video conferencing system.

[0003] The audio and video colocation effect test of the immersive video conferencing system is usually conducted manually, with two testers in different venues receiving each other's audio and video signals to make manual judgments. One tester moves in the venue while sending out test sounds, while the other tester observes the movement trajectory of the remote tester and receives the sound in the venue, and judges the audio and video colocation effect by perception. This method is too subjective, and the test results are judged only by the testee's feelings, which cannot be quantified and has low accuracy. At the same time, manual testing methods cannot achieve test automation, and the test efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0062] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0063] Method Embodiment

[0064] A specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a detection method for testing the audio and video colocation capability of immersive video conferencing. The method of this embodiment is used to detect the audio and video colocation capability of two conference rooms built according to immersive video standard specifications. Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0065] Step S01: In one of the conference rooms, a signal generating device is used to synchronously send out audio and video signals during movement, and corresponding sending position information and sending time parameters are recorded;

[0066] Step S02: in another conference room, corresponding receiving time parameters are recorded based on the received audio played by the audio player and the received video played by the video player, and sound source positioning is performed based on the received audio to obtain sound source position information of the received audio;

[0067] Step S03, based on the sending position information, the sound source position information, the sending time parameter and the receiving time parameter, the sound image parity index value is calculated to obtain a detection result; wherein the sending position information and the sound source position information are respectively relative position information obtained with corresponding positions as reference points in the two conference rooms;

[0068] Step S04: obtaining the audio and video colocation capability of the audio and video signal transmission between the two conference rooms based on the detection result.

[0069] It should be noted that the two conference rooms for immersive video conferencing are built in accordance with immersive video standard specifications, and the conference room spaces are of the same size or at least the camera collection area spaces are of the same size.

[0070] The method of this embodiment uses a signal generating device in one conference room to automatically send an audio and video test signal, and analyzes the received audio and video signals of the immersive video conferencing system in another conference room, and represents the effect of audio and video colocation with quantitative numerical indicators, thereby solving the problems of strong subjectivity and low efficiency caused by the traditional audio and video colocation test method that relies on manual judgment, and improving the test efficiency and the accuracy of the test results.

[0071] Specifically, in step S01, a signal generating device is used to synchronously send out audio and video signals at intervals during the movement process, and the sending time parameters of each signal are recorded; and the sending position information of each signal when the signal generating device sends out is measured using an infrared signal ranging method.

[0072] The signal generating device may be an audio and video playback device including an audio signal generating module and a video signal generating module, and its movement is achieved through a preset moving track. The movement may be uniform or non-uniform and the generation time of each signal is automatically recorded.

[0073] Exemplarily, the signal generating device sends an audio signal and a video signal synchronously. The audio signal sent by the signal generating device may be a pre-recorded digital "0-9" voice signal, each digital signal voice lasts for 1 second, the interval between two voice signals is 1 second, and a silent packet is played during the interval; the video signal sent by the signal generating device is a digital "0-9" image signal, each image digital signal lasts for 1 second, the interval between two image signals is 1 second, and a black screen image is played during the interval; the start time of recording each audio and video digital signal is t iThe rules for sending audio and video are as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0074] Specifically, in step S01, an infrared signal distance measurement method is used to measure the distance of the signal generating device. Figure 3 As shown, a three-dimensional coordinate system is established with the reference point at the corner of the conference room where the signal generating device is located, and the coordinates of the signal generating device when each signal is sent are located, and recorded as the sending position information when each signal is sent. i .

[0075] Specifically, in step S01, the video conferencing terminal in the conference room where the signal generating device is located receives the audio signal and the image signal, encapsulates them into a code stream through audio and video coding, and transmits them to the other end, that is, another conference room;

[0076] Specifically, in step S02, in another conference room, after receiving the code stream, the video conferencing terminal decodes and plays the decoded audio and video signals through an audio player and a video player; during detection, speech recognition is performed based on the audio played by the audio player to obtain the corresponding receiving time parameters of each audio signal, and image recognition is performed based on the video played by the video player to obtain the corresponding receiving time parameters of each video signal. Exemplarily, speech recognition is performed based on the audio played by the audio player to obtain each digital voice signal and the corresponding playing time (i.e., the receiving time of the voice signal), which is recorded as S i ; Based on the video played by the video player, image recognition is performed to obtain each digital image signal and the corresponding playback time (i.e., the reception time of the digital signal), which is recorded as V i .like Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the detection and analysis of the audio and video co-location capabilities of immersive video conferencing.

[0077] Specifically, in step S02, a microphone array is used to receive audio, and the sound source is localized by the audio intensity and time difference received by each microphone; specifically, a three-dimensional model is performed on the conference room receiving the audio, such as Figure 5 As shown, a three-dimensional coordinate system is established with the position corresponding to another conference room as the reference point to obtain the three-dimensional coordinates of the sound source position of the received audio, that is, the sound source position information L i .

[0078] If two conference rooms that meet the immersive standard have the same size or the same camera coverage area, then each spatial point in one conference room has a one-to-one correspondence with the spatial point in the other conference room. The sending position information and the sound source position information are the relative position information obtained with the corresponding position as the reference point in the two conference rooms; the relative position information refers to the position in the other conference room that has a corresponding relationship with a certain position in one conference room.

[0079] Specifically, the reference point of the corresponding position here refers to a corner position of the same orientation that has a corresponding relationship with the corner position of the conference room where the signal generating device is located.

[0080] Specifically, in step S03, the sound image parity index includes the mean value U of the sound position deviation value PL PL and variance S PL , the mean value U of the audio and video signal synchronization deviation from PSV PSV and variance S PSV , the mean value of the sound image deviation is U PLSV , respectively, using the following formulas to calculate:

[0081]

[0082]

[0083]

[0084]

[0085] U PLSV =ln(1+U PL )+ln(1+U PSV );

[0086] Among them, i represents the i-th signal emitted by the signal generating device, N represents the total number of signal occurrences; Li is the sound source location information, li is the sending location information; Si is the audio signal receiving time, and Vi is the image signal receiving time.

[0087] Specifically, U PL Indicates the degree of deviation of the sound signal position. A value of 0 indicates no deviation on average. A value greater than 0 indicates that the audio signal has deviated from the position at the receiving end. A larger value indicates a larger deviation and a worse effect.

[0088] Specifically, S. PL It indicates the degree of change of the sound signal position deviation. A value of 0 indicates that the deviation value is stable, and a larger value indicates a greater degree of change.

[0089] Specifically, U PSV Indicates the deviation value of the synchronous playback of audio and video signals at the receiving end. A value of 0 indicates that the audio and video signals are played synchronously at the receiving end without deviation. A larger value indicates a higher degree of asynchrony.

[0090] Specifically, S. PSV Indicates the degree of change in the synchronization of audio and video signals. A value of 0 indicates a smooth change, and a larger value indicates a greater degree of change.

[0091] Specifically, U PLSVIt indicates the average deviation of audio and video parity. A value of 0 indicates the best audio and video parity effect, and a larger value indicates a worse audio and video parity effect.

[0092] Specifically, in step S04, based on U PLSV The value of is used to evaluate the audio and video co-location capability of audio and video signal transmission between two conference rooms. The evaluation criteria are:

[0093] The sound signal deviation value is measured in centimeters, and the audio and video synchronization time is measured in milliseconds:

[0094] 0 PLSV ≤6, the audio-visual synchronization ability is evaluated as high level, indicating that the audio-visual synchronization ability is good;

[0095] 6 PLSV ≤10, the audio-visual synchronization ability is evaluated as medium level, indicating that the audio-visual synchronization ability is acceptable;

[0096] Then U PLSV >10, the audio-visual synchronization ability is evaluated as low level, indicating that the audio-visual synchronization ability is poor.

[0097] Furthermore, based on U PL , S PL , U PSV and S PSV The value of can further locate the audio and video deviation between the two conference rooms.

[0098] Specifically, the sound signal deviation value is measured in centimeters, and the audio and video synchronization time is measured in milliseconds. Each indicator is used to evaluate the audio and video colocation capabilities of the audio and video signal transmission between the two conference rooms as high, medium, and low levels. A high level indicates that the system has a good ability in the corresponding indicator, and a low level indicates a poor ability. For indicators evaluated as low levels, the corresponding problem of the immersive video conferencing system can be located.

[0099] Specifically, the evaluation level thresholds of each indicator are divided into:

[0100] 0 PL ≤20, high level; 20 PL ≤50, intermediate level; U PL >50 low level;

[0101] 0 PSV ≤100, high level; 100 PSV ≤300, medium level; then U PSV >300, low level;

[0102] 0 PL ≤100, high level; 100 PL ​​​​​​​​≤200, medium level; S PL >200, low level

[0103] 0 PSV ≤100, high level; 100 PSV ≤200, medium level; then S PSV >200, low level.

[0104] This embodiment discloses a detection method for testing the audio and video colocation capability of an immersive video conference. By using a signal generating device in a conference room to automatically send an audio and video test signal, the received audio and video signal of the immersive video conferencing system is analyzed in another conference room, and the effect of the audio and video colocation is represented by a quantitative numerical index. This solves the problems of strong subjectivity and low efficiency caused by the traditional audio and video colocation test method that relies on manual judgment, and improves the test efficiency and the accuracy of the test results.

[0105] By using a regular test sequence of audio and video signals and analyzing the reception of multiple signals, the calculated evaluation index values ​​can scientifically and objectively reflect the audio and video colocation capabilities of immersive video conferencing, thereby improving the accuracy of detection and evaluation.

[0106] By calculating the mean value U of the sound position deviation value PL PL and variance S PL , the mean value U of the audio and video signal synchronization deviation from PSV PSV and variance S PSV , the mean value of the sound image deviation is U PLSV , use U PLSV Comprehensive evaluation of audio-visual parity, using U PL , S PL , U PSV , S PSV The calculated result value specifically locates the cause of the audio transmission or video transmission that may cause poor audio-visual co-location capabilities, so that the test results can assist in locating transmission problems in immersive video conferencing.
