METHOD APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING ACOUSTIC SIGNALS

A method of identifying patterns in a digitized acoustic signal is disclosed. The method comprises: (i) converting the digitized acoustic signal into a spatial representation being defined by a plurality of regions on a vibrating membrane, each the regions having a different vibration resonance, each the vibration resonance corresponding to a different frequency of the acoustic signal; (ii) iteratively calculating a weight function, the weight function having a spatial dependence being representative of acoustic patterns of each region of the plurality of regions; and (iii) using the weight function for converting the spatial representation into a reconstructed acoustic signal; thereby identifying the patterns in the acoustic signal.
