Ambisonic Synthesis of Complex Sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
Exterior expansions of complex sound sources are presented as flexible objects for producing Ambisonic soundfield encodings. The sources can be synthesized or recorded directly, rotated and positioned in space. Related techniques can also be used to efficiently add high quality reverberation depending on the orientation and location of the source and listener.

Nearfield Synthesis of Complex Sources with High-order Ambisonics, and Binaural Rendering
A scheme is presented for encoding general complex sources in high-order Ambisonic soundfields, with control over position and orientation. Also reviewed is related work by the author on the binaural rendering of nearfield sources, accounting fully for the physical constraints of this problem. Together these developments provide a means for creating high quality nearfield auditory displays over...
متن کاملNearfield binaural synthesis and ambisonics.
Ambisonic encodings can be rendered binaurally, as well as for speaker arrays. This process is developed for general high-order Ambisonic encodings of soundfields containing near as well as far sources. For sufficently near sources an error is identified, resulting from the limited field of validity of the freefield harmonic expansion. A modified expansion is derived that can render such source...
متن کاملSpatial Sound Encoding Including Near Field Effect: Introducing Distance Coding Filters and a Viable, New Ambisonic Format
Higher Order Ambisonics have been increasingly investigated in the past years, and found promising as a rational, scalable and flexible way to encode, transmit and render 3D sound fields. Nevertheless, studies concerning virtual source imaging or natural 3D sound encoding mainly focussed on the directional encoding of plane waves, and neglected the near field effect of finite distance sources t...
متن کاملLocalisation of Elevated Sources in Higher-Order Ambisonics
Increasing the order of ambisonic reproduction allows 3D sound fields to be reconstructed with improved resolution and enhanced localisation, at the expense of higher channel counts, increased broadcast bandwidth, and increased storage requirements. Due to the resolution of human hearing it is possible that lowerorder reproduction is sufficient for elevated sources in comparison to sources loca...
متن کاملRecreating the Sound of Stonehenge
Stonehenge is the largest and most complex ancient stone circle known to mankind. In its original form, the concentric shape of stone rings would have surrounded an individual both visually and aurally. It is an outdoor space and most archaeological evidence suggests it did not have a roof. However, its large, semi-enclosed structure, with many reflecting surfaces, would have reflected and diff...
