US Patent 12137329 Field of view based audio selection

Systems and methods are described for improving audio quality. Sensor data is received from an accelerometer of a camera. Based on measurements captured by the sensor data, a position of a lens of the camera and a current field of view (FOV) of the camera is determined. Audio beamforming is performed based on the current FOV of the camera by selecting a subset of microphones disposed on the camera to record audio based on the position of the lens and the current FOV of the camera; and activating the subset of microphones disposed on the camera, where microphones outside the selected subset of microphones are excluded from activation so that audio originating outside of the current FOV is removed.
