چکیده

We present a technique for simulating accurate physically modelled acoustics within an outdoor urban environment and a tool that presents the acoustics alongside a visually rendered counterpart. Acoustic modelling is achieved by using a mixture of simulating ray-traced specular sound wave reflections and applying radiosity to simulate diffuse reflections. Sound rendering is applied to the energy response of the acoustic modelling stage and is used to produce a number of binaural samples for playback with headphones. The visual tool which has been created unites the acoustic renderings with an accurate 3D representation of the virtual environment. As part of this tool an interpolation technique has been implemented allowing a user controlled walkthrough of the simulated environment. This produces better sound localisation effects than listening from a set number of static locations.

Speech-Driven Facial Animation Using a Shared Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model

In this work, synthesis of facial animation is done by modelling the mapping between facial motion and speech using the shared Gaussian process latent variable model. Both data are processed separately and subsequently coupled together to yield a shared latent space. This method allows coarticulation to be modelled by having a dynamical model on the latent space. Synthesis of novel animation is...

“sitting Too Close to the Screen Can Be Bad for Your Ears”: a Study of Audio-visual Location Discrepancy Detection under Different Visual Projections

In this work, we look at the perception of event locality under conditions of disparate audio and visual cues. We address an aspect of the so called “ventriloquism effect” relevant for multimedia designers; namely, how auditory perception of event locality is influenced by the size and scale of the accompanying visual projection of those events. We observed that recalibration of the visual axes...

Visual Preferences of Small Urban Parks Based on Spatial Configuration of Place

The importance of small urban parks (SUP) in mega cities has been accepted as an essential component of urban lung and restorative settings. As urban population in the world increases and the cost of maintaining large parks escalates, urban authorities are shifting their attention to creating and maintaining smaller urban parks. However, SUP may present a different ambience due to their locatio...

Adaptation of physical and non-physical dimensions with the components of Wall Painting in the urban space of Isfahan

     Physical texture in urban space has features such as space decoration, harmony, unity, continuity and spatial consistency in its constituent elements, which are among the most important factors in forming a favorable urban landscape.Wall painting, as one of the urban elements, has a direct relationship with the physical and non-physical dimensions and follows certain requirements in the de...

Multidimensional Shape Modeling in Multimedia Applications

An approach is proposed to represent functionally defined multidimensional shapes as multimedia objects. A multimedia object can be described using 2D/3D world coordinates, visual, audio, haptic and other "multimedia coordinates". We introduce a space mapping between geometric coordinates and multimedia coordinates. The approach is supported by the interactive modeling system which integrates h...
