Fast Perceptual Convolution for Room Reverberation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The FIR-based reverberators, which convolve the input sequence with an impulse response modelling the concert hall, have better quality compared to the IIR-based approach. However, the high computational complexity of the FIR-based reverberators limits the applicability to most cost-oriented system. This paper introduces a method that uses perceptual criterion to reduce the complexity of convolution methods for reverberation. Also, an objective measurement criterion is introduced to check the perceptual difference from the reduction. The result has shown that the length of impulse response can be cut off by 60% without affecting the perceptual reverberation quality. The method is well integrated into the existing FFT-based approach is have around 30% speed-up.

Hybrid Reverberation Processor with Perceptual Control
This paper presents a hybrid reverberation processor, i.e. a realtime audio signal processing unit that combines a convolution reverb for recreating the early reflections of a measured impulse response (IR) with a feedback delay network (FDN) for synthesizing the reverberation tail. The FDN is automatically adjusted so as to match the energy decay profile of the measured IR. Particular attentio...
متن کاملQuantification and Subjective Perception of Varying Reflection Densities in Measured Room Impulsed Responses
This project focuses on quantifying and testing the subjective perception of reflection densities, or the number of reflections per second, from different room impulse responses. The widely used room acoustic metric, reverberation time, is linked to the perceived reverberation in a room. Two different rooms having the same reverberation time, though, can have different reflection densities in t...
متن کاملImplementation and Perceptual Evaluation of a Simulation Method for Coupled Rooms in Higher Order Ambisonics
A fast and perceptively plausible method for rendering acoustic scenarios with moving sources and moving listeners is presented. The method is principally suited for application in dynamic and interactive evaluation environments (e.g., for hearing aid development), psycho-physics with adaptively changing the spatial configuration, or simulation and computer games. The simulation distinguishes b...
متن کاملIdentifying Where You Are in a Room: Sensitivity to Room Acoustics
In a spatial auditory display, reverberation provides a reliable cue for source distance, increases the subjective realism of the display, and improves the externalization of simulated sound sources. However, relatively little is known about perceptual sensitivity to differences in reverberation patterns or how precisely reverberation must be simulated in a spatial auditory display. This paper ...
متن کاملReverberation time estimation on the ACE corpus using the SDD method
Reverberation Time (T60) is an important measure for characterizing the properties of a room. The author’s T60 estimation algorithm was previously tested on simulated data where the noise is artificially added to the speech after convolution with a impulse responses simulated using the image method. We test the algorithm on speech convolved with real recorded impulse responses and noise from th...
