Spatialisation using Sounding Objects

Sounding objects | Les objets sonores

Taxonomy of philosophical theories of Sound: proximal theories; medial theories; distal theories. A distal theory: The Located Event Theory (LET) of sound – Understanding sound and the cognition of sounding objects; ontology of sound according to the LET; epistemology of the perception of sound and sounding objects; auditory images according to the LET; conceptual revisions entailed by distal t...

Assessment of sound spatialisation algorithms for sonic rendering with headsets

Given an input sound signal and a target virtual sound source, sound spatialisation algorithms manipulate the signal so that a listener perceives it as though it were emitted from the target source. There exist several established spatialisation approaches that deliver satisfactory results when loudspeakers are used to playback the manipulated signal. As headphones have a number of desirable ch...

Estimation of Hydrodynamic Coefficients of Zouzan Plain Aquifer Using of Electrical Sounding Data

Knowledge of hydrodynamic coefficients is necessary for the determination of natural water flow through an aquifer and management of ground water resource. In this study, in order to determination of hydrodynamic coefficients of Zouzan aquifer results of 112 electrical sounding have been used. Quantitative interpretation was done by using IPI2WIN. Values of formation factor and porosity were de...

Interactive Simulation of Complex Audiovisual Scenes

We demonstrate a method for efficiently rendering the audio generated by graphical scenes with a large number of sounding objects. This is achieved by using modal synthesis for rigid bodies and rendering only audible modes. We present a novel real-time algorithm which estimates modal excitations, based on the masking characteristics of the human auditory system, and eliminates modes which are e...
