An acoustic camera comprises a first sound pick-up device, a second sound pick-up device, and a switch. The switch is respectively connected to the first sound pick-up device and the second pick-up device and used to select the first sound pick-up device or the second sound pick-up device to reconstruct the sound field of the sound source of a detected object. The first sound pick-up device has a first microphone array, and the first microphone array is a near-field uniform microphone array. The second sound pick-up device has a second microphone array, and the second microphone array is a far-field non-uniform microphone array.

A dereverberation and noise reduction method adapted for a microphone array and an apparatus using the same are proposed. The microphone array receives a plurality of audio signals from an audio source. The dereverberation and noise reduction method includes the following steps. The received audio signals are processed by a beamforming processing, and a first audio signal is generated. Besides, the received audio signals are processed by a suppression processing, and a suppression audio vector is generated. Further, suppression audio vector is processed by an adaptive filtering processing, and a second audio signal is generated. In addition, the second audio signal is subtracted from the first audio signal to acquire an audio output signal, where parameters of the adaptive filtering processing are adjusted according to a feedback of the audio output signal.

The present invention discloses a microphone array structure able to reduce noise and improve speech quality and a method thereof. The method of the present invention comprises steps: using at least two microphone to receive at least two microphone signals each containing a noise signal and a speech signal; using FFT modules to transform the microphone signals into frequency-domain signals; calculating an included angle between a speech signal and a noise signal of the microphone signal, and selecting a phase difference estimation algorithm, a noise reduction algorithm or both to reduce noise according to the included angle; if the phase difference estimation algorithm is used, calculating phase difference of the microphone signals to obtain a time-space domain mask signal; and multiplying the mask signal and the average of the microphone signals to obtain the speech signals of the microphone signals. Thereby is eliminated noise and improve speech quality.

A piezoelectric panel speaker and an optimal method of designing the same is disclosed. In the structure of the speaker, at least one piezoelectric plate attached at a surrounding frame supports a diaphragm inside the surrounding frame. A spacer is inserted between the piezoelectric plate and the diaphragm. The structure of the piezoelectric plates fixed at the surrounding frame improves the speaker performance within the low frequency range. The finite element method is employed to build a mathematical model to simulate the sound pressure loading of the piezoelectric panel speaker. Also, the simulated annealing method is employed to approach the optimal design parameters of the speaker structure.

The present invention provides a time-reversal-based impact-localization and haptic-feedback method for touch panels. Firstly, a plate model for an elastic plate and the impulse responses thereof are constructed according a plate theory. Next, a mathematical model is established according to the impulse responses and a time-reversal approach. When an impact force hits the elastic plate, the touched point on the elastic plate generates a touch signal, and the touch signal is received by at least a sensor at the corner of the elastic plate. The touch signal is converted into a time-reversal signal according to the mathematical model by a simulator. The time-reversal signal is reversed to the touched point for simulating reversal vibration waves of the time-reversal signal on the elastic plate, and locating the touched point.
