Abstract

A dynamic optical microphone system may include an acoustic microphone that receives an audio signal and a laser microphone that transmits a laser beam and receives optical feedback from a human struck by the laser beam. The system may include a depth sensor that determines a distance to the human and a camera that tracks human faces. A processor may be communicatively coupled to the acoustic microphone, laser microphone, depth sensor, camera, and a memory storing computer executable instructions. The processor may determine a direction to a human, direct the laser beam at a voice box of the human, determine a distance to the human using the depth sensor, adjust an intensity of the laser beam based on the distance, receive optical feedback and isolate a voice signal through the optical feedback from background noise in the audio signal.
