20120239391 | AUTOMATIC EQUALIZATION OF COLORATION IN SPEECH RECORDINGS - Systems and methods to automatically equalize coloration in speech recordings is provided. In example embodiments, a reference spectral shape based on a reference signal is determined. An estimated spectral shape for an input signal is derived. Using the estimated spectral shape and the reference spectral shape a comparison is performed to determine gain settings. The gain settings comprise a gain value for each filter of a filter system. Using gain values associated with the gain setting, automatic equalization is performed on the input signal. | 09-20-2012 |
20130159852 | Systems and Methods for Adjusting Audio Attributes of Clip-Based Audio Content - Systems and methods are disclosed to adjust the loudness or another audio attribute for one or more audio clips. Intra-track audio levels can automatically be equalized, for example, to achieve a homogeneous audio level for all clips within an audio track. Information about such audio adjustments may be identified and stored as information without destructively altering the underlying clip content. For example, keyframes may define changes to a fader that will be applied at different points along a track's timeline to achieve the audio adjustments when the track is played. An audio editing application can provide a feature for automatically determining appropriate keyframes, allow manual editing of keyframes, and use keyframes to display control curves that represent graphically the time-based adjustments made to track-specific faders, play test audio output, and output combined audio, among other things. | 06-20-2013 |
20130166050 | Meta-Parameter Control for Digital Audio Data - This specification describes technologies relating to modifying digital audio data using a meta-parameter. A method is provided that includes receiving digital audio data; receiving an input modifying a meta-parameter to a particular meta-parameter value associated with two or more parameters according to a particular mapping, each of the two or more parameters being associated with the digital audio data; modifying at least a first parameter of the two or more parameters based on the particular meta-parameter value and the particular mapping such that a first meta-parameter value causes a modification of the first parameter associated with a volume control of the digital audio data and a second meta-parameter value causes a modification of a second parameter of the two or more parameters associated with dynamic range control of the digital audio data; and generating modified digital audio data from the two or more modified parameters of the digital audio data. | 06-27-2013 |

20140035920 | Colorization of audio segments - This specification describes technologies relating to visual representations indicating segments of audio data. In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of receiving digital audio data including hierarchical segment information, the hierarchical segment information identifying one or more segments of the audio data for each of multiple of segment types and displaying a visual representation of the audio data at a first zoom level in an interface, the visual representation displaying audio data as a function of time on a time axis and a feature on a feature axis, the visual representation further including a display of identifiers for each segment of one or more segments of a first segment type. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding systems, apparatus, and computer program products. | 02-06-2014 |
20140089295 | SINGLE USER INTERFACE FOR SELECTING, MODIFYING, AND QUERYING IMAGES - Methods and apparatus are presented for a morphing search tool that provides a single user interface through which a user may both modify a displayed image and perform an image similarity query based on the modified image. The morphing search tool may allow a user to repeat this process until a desired image is found and displayed. Further, the image repository to be searched may be specified by a user and the images to be modified and searched for may be any type of image. The morphing search tool may be integrated within a merchant website, an image management system, or as a stand alone application. | 03-27-2014 |
20140244669 | Covariance Based Color Characteristics of Images - Each of multiple images is analyzed to determine how the colors of the pixels of the image are distributed throughout the color space of the image. Different covariance based characteristics of the image are determined that identify a direction, as well as magnitude in each direction, of the distribution of colors of the image pixels. These different covariance based characteristics that are determined for an image can be saved as associated with the image, allowing the characteristics to be accessed and used as a basis for searching the images to identify particular types of images. These different covariance based characteristics can also be used to order the images identified by a search. | 08-28-2014 |
20140281970 | Methods and apparatus for modifying audio information - A system receives audio information comprising at least one audio portion associated with an audio type, and provides a capability to modify the audio type. The system renders an amount of modification to the audio type, and renders the audio information resulting from the amount of modification to the audio type. The system provides a graphical user interface with which to render the audio information, and allows a user to modify the audio information, via the graphical user interface, by adjusting the audio type. | 09-18-2014 |
20140289630 | Systems and Methods for Semi-Automatic Audio Problem Detection and Correction - One exemplary embodiment involves receiving identifications of audio problems in a segment of audio and identifications of corrections for applying to attempt to correct the audio problems, wherein the audio problems were identified by a device applying one or more audio problem detection algorithms to the segment of audio. The exemplary embodiment further involves displaying a user interface comprising representations of the audio problems and representations of the corrections and, in response to receiving a command through the user interface to initiate application of a correction of the corrections, initiating application of the correction. | 09-25-2014 |
