Sound Localization in a Sound Field Represented by Spherical Harmonics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sound localization is an important aspect in human hearing, with interaural time difference (ITD) and interaural level difference (ILD) as two binaural cues that complement each other in this goal. Head related transfer functions (HRTFs) can be used to estimate and analyze these cues, where an HRTF representation in the spherical harmonics domain has recently been suggested for analysis. The aim of this paper is the study of the effect of incomplete representation of the sound field in the spherical harmonics domain on the cues of sound localization. An objective study is presented on the relation between the sound field order and the errors in sound localization cues of ITD and ILD.

The impact of wind-generated bubble layer on matched field sound source localization in shallow water (Research Article)
This paper investigates the effect of the wind-generated bubble layer on the underwater sound source localization in the Persian Gulf shallow-water environment through computer simulation and the matched field processing technique. An underwater sound source of 2-10 kHz located at depths of 10, 45, and 75 m was considered at a distance of 4 km from a linear vertical receiver array. The estimati...
متن کاملAnalysis on the timbre of Ambisonics recording by circular and spherical microphone array using a binaural loudness model
Ambisonics are a series of flexible sound reproduction systems that decompose and reconstruct sound field by each order approximation of spatial harmonics decomposition. Circular or spherical microphone array has been used for Ambisonics recording. For an array with given radius as well as given number and configuration of microphones, the spatial harmonics signals up to certain temporal freque...

Studying the behaviour of supercavitation from the energy aspect can be divided into two sections. Studying the behavior of supercavitation in the flow field and in vicinity of the flow field. A large portion of field energy is kept in the field, and the rest of it distributed as noise (sound) out of the field. In this paper, harmonious structures of the field which are flowing as energy source...
متن کاملSound Source Localization Using Non-Conformal Surface Sound Field Transformation Based on Spherical Harmonic Wave Decomposition
Spherical microphone arrays have been paid increasing attention for their ability to locate a sound source with arbitrary incident angle in three-dimensional space. Low-frequency sound sources are usually located by using spherical near-field acoustic holography. The reconstruction surface and holography surface are conformal surfaces in the conventional sound field transformation based on gene...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Surround Sound Systems Based on Spherical Harmonics*
The theory of recording and reproduction of three-dimensional sound fields based on spherical harmonics is reviewed and extended. Free-field, sphere, and general recording arrays are reviewed, and the mode-matching and simple source approaches to sound reproduction in anechoic environments are discussed. Both methods avoid the need for both monopole and dipole loudspeakers—as required by the Ki...
