چکیده
Mixed sounds can be separated from multiple sound sources by utilizing a microphone array and signal processing. We believe that promotion of interest in this technique can lead to significant developments in future science and technology. Consequently, in order to experience this technique, we designed a language game for children called “KIKIWAKE 3D” that uses a sound source separation system with the aim of arousing children's interest in this technology. In this paper, we discuss the development of a spherical microphone array with threedimensional directivity introduced to make the game more interesting and to facilitate a larger number of participants. Keywords—sound source separation; signal processing; voice recognition

Sound-Separation System using Spherical Microphone Array with Three-Dimensional Directivity—KIKIWAKE 3D: Language Game for Children
Mixed sounds can be separated from multiple sound sources using microphone array sensor and signal processing.

متن کاملBeamforming using a spherical microphone array based on legacy microphone characteristics
This paper presents a numerical approach that projects frequency-dependent directivity patterns of classic recording microphones onto steerable beams created with a spherical microphone array. In an anechoic chamber, the spatial and timbral characteristics of a legacy recording microphone and the characteristics of a 120-channel spherical microphone array were measured. Using a least-square mat...
متن کاملBlind directivity estimation of a sound source in a room using a surrounding microphone array
Sound sources in actual environments have no omni-directional feature, but they do have directivity in radiation. It is important to consider the directivity of a sound source when synthesizing a high-definition three-dimensional sound field. Therefore, we propose a simple but novel method to estimate the directivity of a sound source in a reverberant environment using a surrounding microphone ...
متن کاملComputations of the Directivity of Spherical Microphone Arrays
The aim of this research is to create a microphone array on a rigid sphere that could be used for teleconferences and for recording of music with the aim of five-channel loudspeaker surround sound reproduction. Experiments were undertaken, within a MATLAB environment, by running computer simulations that tested the directivity of a rigid sphere microphone array in both near and far field. The s...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis of Stress Intensity Factors in a Spherical Pressure Vessel with Functionally Graded Coating
This research pertains to the three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) of the stress intensity factors (SIFs) along the crack front in a spherical pressure vessel coated with functionally graded material (FGM). The vessel is subjected to internal pressure and thermal gradient. The exponential function is adopted for property of FGMs. SIFs are obtained for a wide variety of crack sha...
