Robust Estimation of Reverberation Time Using Polynomial Roots
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper further investigates previous findings that coefficients of acoustic responses can be modelled as random polynomials with certain constraints applied. In the case of room impulse responses, the median value of their clustered roots has been shown to be directly related to the reverberation time of the room. In this paper we examine the frequency dependency of reverberation time and we also demonstrate the method’s robustness to truncation of impulse responses.

An Off-axis Pole Focusing Method for Robust DOA Estimation in Multi-source Environments
An off-axis pole focusing method for robust direction of arrival (DOA) estimation is presented in this paper. The roots (poles) of the root-MUSIC polynomial are generally evaluated over the unit circle in the z-domain. The DOAs can be computed from these poles using a simple geometric relation. Rather than computing the root-MUSIC polynomial over the unit circle, it can be estimated inside the ...

Classrooms, as one of the most important educational environments, play a major role in the learning and academic progress of students. reverberation time, as one of the most important acoustic parameters inside rooms, has a significant effect on sound quality. The inefficiency of classical formulas such as Sabin, caused this article to examine the use of machine learning methods as an alternat...
متن کاملRandomness and the reverberation time, RT60, of acoustic responses
This paper investigates an implication of the clustering, on the complex plane, of the roots of transfer function polynomials obtained from acoustic responses. These polynomials can be the high order transfer functions obtained from room impulse responses or the relatively lower order ones obtained from head related impulse responses. This clustering behavior is explained using results from the...
