TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted audio systems, and relates to a flat diaphragm automobile audio system, in particular to a flat diaphragm automobile audio system based on multi-source data fusion for acoustic enhancement and a method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The core of the flat diaphragm automobile audio system is a large-area, extremely thin and high-rigidity flat diaphragm (commonly made of composite honeycomb or fiber material), the surface of which is directly etched with voice coil wires, and the flat diaphragm is suspended in a strong magnetic field generated by a high-efficiency neodymium magnet array (the magnetic flux density can reach 1.5 Tesla). When an electric current passes through the voice coil, the entire diaphragm is uniformly stressed under the action of the magnetic field and pushes the air to produce sound, thus breaking away from the segmented vibration of the traditional cone-piston, achieving extremely low distortion, superb transient response and natural and transparent sound quality, and being particularly good at restoring delicate mid-high frequencies. Its ultra-thin physical form (the thickness of a single module can be controlled within 5 cm) and the 180° wide directivity radiation characteristics of the nearly plane wave make it an ideal choice for building a loudspeaker array.
[0003] With the development of intelligent automobile technology, the vehicle-mounted acoustic system faces the adaptability challenge under complex road environment. The traditional active noise reduction (ANC) technology mainly relies on the feedback of the in-vehicle microphone, and has problems such as response lag (>100 ms) and inability to cope with transient road noise. The existing noise reduction schemes based on cameras or single sensors can identify some road features, but lack deep coupling with navigation data and vehicle dynamics, resulting in insufficient sound field compensation accuracy. Especially when driving on a curve, the sound image shift caused by the centrifugal force of the vehicle will interfere with the auditory localization, and the wideband noise generated by the rough road will significantly reduce the speech intelligibility.
[0004] For example, CN118782008A discloses a vehicle interior noise active control method and system based on road roughness preview, which acquires the current preview road roughness at the current time and the previous preview road roughness at the previous time, and when the difference between the current preview road roughness and the previous preview road roughness is greater than a preset threshold, the vibration acceleration signal corresponding to the current preview road roughness is acquired; the vibration acceleration signal is filtered to obtain a secondary anti-noise signal; the signal output delay time and the noise source signal are acquired, and when the signal output delay time is reached, the secondary anti-noise signal and the noise source signal are acoustically superimposed to cancel the noise source signal.
[0005] CN117037765A discloses a road noise active control variable step length system based on road classification, provides a road noise active control variable step length system based on road classification, carries out road noise active control variable step length based on image recognition, classifies the road state (roughness) by analyzing the obtained road information, realizes the update of the step length of the road noise active control system, achieves the purpose of variable step length, and can also use the random pulse on the road for preview to dynamically adjust the step length of the control system, thereby improving the adaptability of the road noise active control system to different driving roads and the noise reduction effect.
[0006] It can be seen that the current solution focuses on noise suppression and ignores active optimization of the acoustic environment, which is difficult to meet the demand of intelligent cockpit for immersive auditory experience. There is an urgent need for a sound field enhancement technology that integrates multi-source data prediction and has environmental adaptability.
[0007] In the car, multiple flat panel units can be seamlessly embedded in narrow spaces such as doors, ceilings or instrument tables, forming a large area of continuous sound source. Through independent phase and delay control of each unit in the array by advanced DSP algorithm, precise "beam forming" can be realized - dynamically focusing sound energy on the heads of passengers in different seats, compensating for the sound field shift caused by changes in vehicle speed, noise or passenger position, and significantly improving multi-seat listening consistency.

[0024] The curve sound image stability module:
[0025] When the detected steering angular velocity exceeds the dynamic stability threshold, an anti-interference enhancement mode is activated:
[0026] Introducing the derivative of steering angle velocity ω in horizontal offset compensation amount ΔX
[0027] Applying a smoothing window function to the output sound field suppresses transient mutations.
[0028] The audio output control module:
[0029] Using a frequency division processing architecture to decompose the audio signal into three independent subbands:
[0030] The low-frequency subband signal applies the gain compensation generated by the low-frequency response adaptation module
[0031] The mid-frequency speech subband signal passes through the time-varying filter configured by the speech intelligibility optimization module
[0032] The high-frequency subband signal remains in its original state.

[0036] Calculate the residual vector of the actual sound pressure spectrum and the target compensation spectrum;
[0037] When the Euclidean norm of the residual vector exceeds the adaptive threshold, trigger the inverse parameter iterative update:
[0038] H new(f) = H old(f) + η·FFT[e(t)];
[0039] Where η is the convergence factor, e(t) is the residual time domain signal, and the update delay is controlled within the system response period.
[0040] A vehicle-mounted active acoustic enhancement method based on the system, comprising the following steps:
[0041] (1) Preloading phase:
[0042] According to the navigation path planning, load the road feature data packet before entering the target acoustic influence area, and establish the mapping relationship from the road coordinate system to the vehicle coordinate system;
[0043] (2) Multi-source fusion phase:
[0044] Receive road feature data, real-time road surface features and vehicle speed signals through a space-time synchronization interface;
[0045] The road curvature parameter is converted to a vehicle motion coordinate system, and the material characteristic parameter is fused with the real-time roughness;

[0047] The sound image shift matrix parameter is calculated based on the curvature-vehicle speed coupling relationship;
[0048] The low-frequency gain coefficient is determined by linear combination of material characteristics and roughness;
[0049] The speech filter bandwidth is adjusted according to the slope angle and vehicle posture;

[0052] The sound image shift matrix is applied for multi-channel spatial rendering;
[0053] (5) Dynamic optimization stage:
[0054] The compensation deviation is detected by residual spectrum analysis;
[0055] When the deviation exceeds the adaptive tolerance, the inverse phase parameter is updated and injected into the processing pipeline.
[0056] In the sound field parameter generation stage (3):
[0057] The calculation of the sound image shift matrix parameter uses a kinematic model:
[0058]
[0059] k is the system calibration coefficient, and φ is the vehicle yaw angle;
[0060] When the steering angular velocity ω exceeds the threshold value, ΔX is corrected as:
[0061]
[0062] The generation of the low-frequency gain coefficient uses a feature weighting model:
[0063] G L = α·μ + β·ρ;
[0064] α, β are material characteristic weight factors.
[0065] In the dynamic optimization stage (5):
[0066] A double trigger condition is set to control parameter updating:
[0067] a. When the residual energy in the speech frequency band continuously exceeds the background noise level set by a certain multiple,
[0068] b. When the vehicle motion state mutation causes the acoustic environment change index to exceed the critical value;
[0069] The parameter updating process adopts a least mean square adaptive algorithm, and a convergence factor η decreases with the increase of vehicle speed.
[0070] The beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0071] The present application realizes the advanced prediction and active adaptation of the in-vehicle acoustic environment through the deep fusion of the preloaded road acoustic properties of the navigation system and real-time sensor data. Compared with traditional passive noise reduction technology, the system can start sound field optimization 500 milliseconds before the vehicle enters a special road section, effectively eliminating the sound image deviation and low-frequency resonance problems caused by sudden changes in road conditions. By dynamically adjusting the three-dimensional sound field parameters, passengers can experience stable sound source positioning during continuous curve driving and maintain voice call clarity on rough road surfaces, creating an immersive and disturbance-free driving acoustic environment.
[0072] A mapping model of road physical characteristics and acoustic compensation parameters is established, which converts the traditionally independent navigation data, vehicle motion state and environmental perception information into quantifiable sound field control instructions. The system can intelligently distinguish different road types and driving conditions, automatically optimize low-frequency response characteristics to suppress road vibration noise, and dynamically improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the voice frequency band.
[0073] The concept of "active sound field enhancement" is introduced into the field of vehicle audio, and through the frequency band processing architecture and spatial sound field reconstruction technology, the function transition from "noise suppression" to "environment optimization" is realized. Not only compensates for the influence of road environment on sound quality, but also combines vehicle motion state for sound image stability control, making the audio output and driving scene form a deep synergy. It breaks through the lag compensation mode relying on microphone feedback and establishes a "prediction-adaptation-optimization" acoustic control paradigm, setting a new standard for the auditory experience of intelligent cockpit.
[0074] The sound image stability algorithm significantly reduces the auditory directional error during curve driving, avoiding the distraction of the driver caused by sound source positioning deviation. The closed-loop optimization mechanism continuously monitors the deviation between the actual sound field and the target parameters, and completes dynamic calibration within 20 milliseconds, ensuring the stability of the compensation effect under various working conditions. When the system detects extreme driving conditions, it automatically triggers the safety protection mode, preventing the sound field from mutating and causing interference to the passengers through smooth control strategy, providing redundant protection for driving safety from the acoustic dimension.
[0075] The sound field compensation engine, based on multi-source data fusion, forms an open technology platform compatible with future high-precision maps, vehicle-infrastructure collaboration, and other emerging data sources. Parametric modeling methods allow for continuous optimization of the material-acoustic response database via cloud-based updates, enabling the system to evolve continuously. This framework provides a unified acoustic optimization foundation for applications such as in-car entertainment systems, navigation voice prompts, and hazard warning tones, driving the development of intelligent automotive acoustic systems towards environmental awareness and intelligent decision-making.

[0125]
[0126] Output roughness level: p∈[0,1].
[0127] Wherein, the texture feature extraction:

[0161] (5) Dynamic optimization stage:

[0163] When the deviation exceeds the adaptive tolerance, update the inverse phase parameter and inject it into the processing pipeline. In the sound field parameter generation stage (3):

[0165]
[0166] k is the system calibration coefficient, and φ is the vehicle yaw angle.
[0167] When the steering angular velocity ω exceeds the threshold value, ΔX is corrected as:

[0174] a. When the residual energy in the speech frequency band exceeds the background noise level set multiple times,
[0175] b. When the vehicle motion state mutation causes the acoustic environment change index to exceed the critical value;
[0176] The parameter update process uses a least mean square adaptive algorithm, and the convergence factor η decreases with increasing vehicle speed.
[0177] Pre-loading phase detailed process
[0178] The pre-loading phase is a critical process for the system to prepare data and initialize configuration before the vehicle enters the target road section. When the driver sets the travel route through the vehicle-mounted navigation system, the system immediately starts the route analysis algorithm to scan special road feature points in the entire path. These feature points include sharp turning sections (curvature radius less than 300 meters), special pavement, and slopes with a gradient change of more than 5%. The system connects to the cloud road feature database through the 4G / 5G vehicle networking module, indexed by road section ID and geographic location coordinates, to request the download of acoustic property data packets for these special road sections.
[0179] During the data packet download process, the system simultaneously starts the vehicle position real-time tracking module. By fusing GNSS satellite positioning signals, vehicle-mounted inertial measurement unit (IMU) data, and wheel speed sensor information, the vehicle's distance relative to the target road section is continuously calculated with an accuracy of 0.1 meters. When the vehicle enters the dynamic calculation range from the target road section, the system triggers the data pre-loading instruction. At this time, the cloud data packet is transmitted to the vehicle local cache area through a secure encryption channel, containing three core road attributes: road surface material acoustic transmission coefficient, road curvature geometric parameters recording the radius and direction angle of the curve, and slope angle parameters recording the inclination change of the slope.
[0180] After the data loading is completed, the system starts the coordinate mapping engine. This engine first establishes a three-dimensional coordinate system for the road: taking the starting point of the target road section as the origin, the road forward direction as the X-axis, the vertical road upward as the Y-axis, and the horizontal right as the Z-axis. At the same time, a three-dimensional coordinate system for the vehicle is established: taking the front axle center as the origin, the vehicle head direction as the X-axis, pointing to the left side door as the Y-axis, and vertically upward as the Z-axis. The system aligns the two coordinate systems through a space transformation algorithm, calculates the conversion parameters of each feature point in the road coordinate system to the vehicle coordinate system, including position offset, direction rotation angle, and slope compensation coefficient. This process generates a dynamic coordinate conversion matrix, ensuring that all subsequent road feature data can be mapped to the current vehicle position in real time.
[0181] Multi-source fusion phase detailed process
[0182] The multi-source fusion phase is the core link of the system for real-time collection, alignment, and integration of environmental information. When the vehicle approaches the target road section about 500 meters, the system activates the forward perception sensor array. The 2 million pixel high-definition camera installed in the vehicle's front bumper area collects front road surface images at a speed of 30 frames per second, and the vision processing unit executes a multi-scale texture analysis algorithm to segment the road surface into several grid areas, calculates the edge density and texture contrast features of each area, and finally outputs a comprehensive roughness index between 0 and 1, with a larger value indicating a rougher road surface.
[0183] Meanwhile, the 128-line laser radar in the center of the vehicle grille starts a three-dimensional scan, emitting an array of laser pulses to probe the microscopic morphology of the road surface. The three-dimensional coordinates of each laser point in space are accurately recorded, and the system calculates the lateral and longitudinal height variation gradients of the road surface through point cloud processing algorithms to identify special terrain features such as speed bumps and potholes. These data are stored in vector form, containing height difference values and direction information.
[0184] At the same time as the sensor data is collected, the system initiates a space-time alignment program. The positioning synchronization module receives time stamp data from the GNSS receiver, IMU unit, and wheel speed meter, and unifies the time base of all sensors to nanosecond-level precision through the Precision Time Protocol. The space alignment engine then uses the coordinate conversion matrix generated during the preloading phase to convert the two-dimensional image feature points recognized by the camera, the three-dimensional point cloud data obtained by the laser radar, and the road feature information provided by the navigation map into the vehicle body coordinate system. This process specifically handles the small spatial offsets of different sensor data, such as accurately mapping the road features 10 meters ahead recognized by the camera to the expected wheel track position when the vehicle reaches that location.
[0185] The data integration stage adopts a hierarchical fusion strategy. The bottom layer fusion first combines the real-time data of the visual sensor and the laser radar: the weighted average of the roughness index of the vision and the height variation gradient of the laser generates a comprehensive road condition assessment. The middle layer fusion matches the real-time perception data with the preloaded road feature data, such as comparing the confidence level of the gravel texture recognized by the camera with the "gravel road section" label in the navigation data. The high-level fusion finally introduces the vehicle dynamic parameters: through the CAN bus, it obtains real-time vehicle speed, steering angle, acceleration, and other information to evaluate the influence weight of the current driving state on the acoustic environment.
[0186] The fusion process continuously conducts credibility evaluation, and the system marks data conflict areas (such as laser radar detecting potholes but navigation data showing flat road surface) and automatically selects the data source with high confidence as the dominant. Finally, a multi-dimensional fusion data package is output, containing spatially accurate road feature descriptions, environment-vehicle coupling influence coefficients, and data quality evaluation indicators.
[0187] Finally, the system performs pre-compensation parameter calculation. Based on the types of road features to be encountered, it generates an initial sound field compensation scheme in advance: for sharp turns, it calculates the sound image offset compensation; for rough roads, it estimates the low-frequency gain value; for steep slopes, it presets the voice frequency optimization parameters. These pre-calculated parameters are sent to the cache area to ensure that when the vehicle actually enters the target road section, the system can instantly retrieve the optimal compensation scheme.
[0188] Parameter generation stage detailed process:
[0189] The parameter generation stage converts the fused multi-source data into executable sound field control instructions. The system first processes the sound image stability parameter: based on the road curvature radius and real-time vehicle speed, the sound image offset caused by the centrifugal effect when the vehicle turns is calculated. This calculation takes into account the lateral offset of the vehicle's current trajectory from the road centerline and the instantaneous steering angle feedback from the steering system. For sharp turning conditions, the system additionally introduces steering angular velocity change rate as a dynamic compensation factor to prevent auditory discomfort caused by sudden changes in sound image. Finally, a sound image horizontal offset angle value is output, which is quantized as a left-right channel balance adjustment coefficient.
[0190] Next, the low-frequency response parameter is generated. The system analyzes the road surface material characteristics (such as asphalt or cement) and real-time roughness data to calculate the degree of influence of road surface vibration on in-vehicle low-frequency sound waves. This calculation considers three dimensions: the absorption characteristics of the material itself to sound waves, the vibration intensity determined by roughness, and the impact frequency reflected by the height change gradient. Real-time speed parameters are also fused, as higher speed increases the influence of road surface vibration on the acoustic environment. The output result is a low-frequency gain compensation coefficient, which will be directly applied to the low-frequency equalizer of the sound system.
[0191] The speech intelligibility optimization parameter generation module focuses on the impact of slope changes. The system dynamically adjusts the speech frequency band processing strategy based on the slope angle and vehicle acceleration state: when climbing uphill, the engine load increases, causing low-frequency noise to increase, so the system appropriately increases the mid-high frequency gain; when descending, wind noise may occur, so the system narrows the speech frequency band bandwidth to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Combined with real-time vehicle cabin noise monitoring data, the center frequency of the speech frequency band is fine-tuned to ensure that the human voice is always in the best audible area.
[0192] Finally, all parameters are co-optimized. The system establishes a parameter coupling matrix to analyze the mutual influence relationship between each compensation item: for example, sound image offset compensation may affect low-frequency response, and slope optimization may change the sound field balance. After decoupling algorithm to eliminate parameter conflicts, the system applies physical constraint conditions: sound image offset is limited within ±30 degrees to prevent excessive compensation, and gain change is set to a safety threshold of ±6dB. All parameters are processed by a smoothing filter to ensure smooth transition without sudden changes.
[0193] The parameter generation module finally performs real-time optimization: the calculation tasks are distributed to different cores of the multi-core processor, and the sound image stability calculation is distributed to high-priority threads to ensure completion within 2ms, and the speech optimization is distributed to medium-priority threads. When the calculation is timed out in extreme cases, the system automatically enables the cache parameters of the last period to ensure continuity. The final generated parameter set contains a timestamp and a quality flag, which is transmitted to the audio output module through a high-speed bus.
