Detection of Room Reflections from a Binaural Room Impulse Response
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel analysis method for binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) is presented. It is based on the analysis of ear canal signals with continuous wavelet transform (CWT). Then, the crosswavelet transform (XWT) is used for detection of the direct sound and individual reflections from a BRIR. The new method seems to time-localize the reflections quite accurately. In addition, the proposed analysis method enables detailed study of the frequency content of the early reflections. The algorithm is tested with both measured and modeled impulse responses. A comparison with an FFT-based cross-spectrogram is made. The results show that XWT has potential in audio signal analysis.

Segmentation and Analysis of Early Reflections from a Binaural Room Impulse Response
In this paper, a novel method for analysis of binaural room impulse responses is presented. Individual reflections are localized in time and frequency from a measured binaural room impulse response based on the continuous cross-wavelet transform (XWT). The directions of the reflections are then analyzed based on KEMAR and CIPIC reference data lookup, and compared a previous approach. Analysis o...

A fast and perceptively plausible method for synthesizing binaural room impulse responses (BRIR) is presented. The method is principally suited for application in dynamic and interactive evaluation environments (e. g., for hearing aid development), psychophysics with adaptively changing room reverberation, or simulation and computer games. In order to achieve a low computational cost, the propo...

متن کاملRoom Acoustic Simulation and Auralization –
The paper describes the state-of-the-art of room acoustic auralization and the results of two different ways to validate the quality. The first method is an objective measurement of room acoustic parameters from the simulated impulse response using a monaural auralization filter. The measurement results are compared to the calculation results from the simulation. The other method is a subjectiv...
