Speech Quality Assessment for Listening-Room Compensation

In this contribution objective measures for quality assessment of speech signals are evaluated for listening-room compensation algorithms. Dereverberation of speech signals by means of equalization of the room impulse response and reverberation suppression has been an active research topic within the last years. However, no commonly accepted objective quality measures exist for assessment of th...

Listening room compensation for wave field synthesis

Common room compensation algorithms are capable of dereverberating the listening room at some discrete points only. Outside these equalization points the sound quality is often even worse compared to the unequalized case. As wave £eld synthesis in principle allows to control the wave £eld within the listening area it can also be used to compensate for the re¤ections caused by the listening room...

A Stochastic Approach for Robust Listening Room Compensation

The purpose of room impulse response (RIR) reshaping is to reduce reverberation and thus to improve the perceived quality of the received signal by prefiltering the source signal before it is played with a loudspeaker. The optimization of an infinityand/or p-norm based objective function in the time domain has shown to be quite effective compared to leastsquares methods. There are, in general, ...
