Acoustic space is an acoustic environment in which sound can be heard by an observer. The term "acoustic space" was first mentioned by Marshall McLuhan, a professor and a philosopher.
A spatial audio processingsystem operable to enable audio signals to be spatially extracted from, or transmitted to, discrete locations within an acoustic space. Embodiments of the present disclosure enable an array of transducers being installed in an acoustic space to combine their signals via inverting physical and environmental models that are measured, learned, tracked, calculated, or estimated. The models may be combined with a whitening filter to establish a cooperative or non-cooperative information-bearing channel between the array and one or more discrete, targeted physical locations in the acoustic space by applying the inverted models with whitening filter to the received or transmitted acoustical signals. The spatial audio processingsystem may utilize a model of the combination of direct and indirect reflections in the acoustic space to receive or transmit acoustic information, regardless of ambient noise levels, reverberation, and positioning of physical interferers.

This invention provides a control method and control system for constructing an independent acoustic space in an automotive cabin, applied in the field of automotive cabin sound field control technology. It inputs real-time acquired multi-channel vibration signals into a deep learningnoise prediction model to obtain predicted in-vehicle background noise values for future times. The predicted noise is filtered by a secondary path estimation model and used as a feedforward reference signal for active noise reduction. This signal, along with the residual signal acquired by the bright-area error microphone, is used to update the weights of an adaptive filter. The updated filter generates an inverse-phase noise cancellation signal, which is played in real-time by a secondary speaker to cancel out bright-area background noise. A closed-loop adjustment of the noise reduction effect is constructed based on the contrast between bright and dark sound pressure levels, ensuring the stability of the independent acoustic space in the time-varying environment of vehicle operation. This invention achieves low noise in bright areas and isolated sound fields in dark areas by integrating deep learning noise prediction and active noise control, significantly enhancing the personalized in-vehicle listening experience.
