Abstract
Systems and methods are proposed for adjusting the coverage pattern of a directional loudspeaker array. The methods may comprise adjusting a coverage pattern of a loudspeaker array based on a distribution of audience members. The audience distribution may be determined by imaging a venue with a camera, performing facial detection on the resultant image, and processing the facial detection results to obtain the distribution.
