- Read more about ON THE PREDICTABILITY OF HRTFS FROM EAR SHAPES USING DEEP NETWORKS
- Log in to post comments
Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) individualization is critical for immersive and realistic spatial audio rendering in augmented/virtual reality. Neither measurements nor simulations using 3D scans of head/ear are scalable for practical applications. More efficient machine learning approaches are being explored recently, to predict HRTFs from ear images or anthropometric features. However, it is not yet clear whether such models can provide an alternative for direct measurements or high-fidelity simulations. Here, we aim to address this question.

- Log in to post comments
We have been exploring the integration of sparse recovery methods into the ray space transform over the past years and now demonstrate the potential and benefits of beamforming and upscaling signals in the integrated ray space and sparse recovery domain. A primary advantage of the ray space approach derives from its robust ability to integrate information from multiple arrays and viewpoints. Nonetheless, for a given viewpoint, the ray space technique requires a dense array that can be divided into sub-arrays enabling the plenacoustic approach to signal processing.

- Log in to post comments
Noise reduction in B-format recordings is particularly challenging as it concurrently requires to suppress undesired signals and preserve the spatial properties of the acoustic environment. In particular, wind noise poses an undesirable acoustic condition outdoors. In this work, methods to reduce wind noise while limiting the spatial distortions of the original signal are proposed based on recent works of the present authors.

- Log in to post comments
This paper presents a novel 3DoF+ system that allows to navigate, i.e., change position, in scene-based spatial audio content beyond the sweet spot of a Higher Order Ambisonics recording. It is one of the first such systems based on sound capturing at a single spatial position. The system uses a parametric decomposition of the recorded sound field. For the synthesis, only coarse distance information about the sources is needed as side information but not the exact number of them.

- Read more about Mutual-Information-Based Sensor Placement for Spatial Sound Field Recording
- Log in to post comments
A sensor (microphone) placement method based on mutual information for spatial sound field recording is proposed. The sound field recording methods using distributed sensors enable the estimation of the sound field inside a target region of arbitrary shape; however, it is a difficult task to find the best placement of sensors. We focus on the mutual-information-based sensor placement method in which spatial phenomena are modeled as a Gaussian process (GP).

- Log in to post comments
Active noise control (ANC) over space is a well-researched topic where multi-microphone, multi-loudspeaker systems are designed to minimize the noise over a spatial region of interest. In this paper, we perform an initial study on the more complex problem of simultaneous noise control over multiple target regions using a single ANC system. In particular, we investigate the maximum active noise control performance over the multiple target regions, given a particular setup of secondary loudspeakers.

- Log in to post comments
In this paper, we present an end-to-end deep convolutional neural network operating on multi-channel raw audio data to localize multiple simultaneously active acoustic sources in space. Previously reported end-to-end deep learning based approaches work well in localizing a single source directly from multi-channel raw-audio, but are not easily extendable to localize multiple sources due to the well known permutation problem.

- Log in to post comments
We propose an analytical method of 2.5-dimensional exterior sound field reproduction by using a multipole loudspeaker array. The method reproduces the sound field modeled by expansion coefficients of spherical harmonics based on multipole superposition. We also present an analytical method for converting the expansion coefficients of spherical harmonics to weighting coefficients for multipole superposition.
