AUTOMATIC SPATIAL CALIBRATION FOR A LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEARFIELD RESPONSE

One embodiment provides a method of automatic spatial calibration. The method comprises estimating one or more distances from one or more loudspeakers to a listening area based on a machine learning model and one or more propagation delays from the one or more loudspeakers to the listening area. The method further comprises estimating one or more incidence angles of the one or more loudspeakers relative to the listening area based on the one or more propagation delays. The method further comprises applying spatial perception correction to audio reproduced by the one or more loudspeakers based on the one or more distances and the one or more incidence angles. The spatial perception correction comprises delay and gain compensation that corrects misplacement of any of the one or more loudspeakers relative to the listening area.
