Spatial Impulse Response Rendering of digital waveguide mesh room acoustic simulations

چکیده
The Digital Waveguide Mesh (DWM) is a numerical simulation method that can be used to model acoustic wave propagation in an enclosed system. The output from a DWM model is the Room Impulse Response (RIR) of the modelled space for given source/receiver locations. RoomWeaver is a PC application used to model the acoustics of spaces using the DWM. This project deals with how to auralize the resulting RIR. The method used is Spatial Impulse Response Rendering (SIRR), which is a technique for rendering a RIR to a multichannel speaker system. This is done by first analyzing the direction and diffuseness of the sound field within the time and frequency resolution of human perception, and then to use that information to synthesize a multichannel RIR. Both the analysis and synthesis is implemented using a Short Time Fourier Transform scheme, which splits the signal into time and frequency components.

متن کاملRoom Impulse Response Modeling in the Sub-2kHz Band using 3-D Rectangular Digital Waveguide Mesh
Digital waveguide mesh has emerged as an efficient and straightforward way to model small room impulse response because it solves the wave equation directly in the time domain. In this paper, we investigate the performance of the 3-D rectangular digital waveguide mesh in modeling the low frequency portion of room impulse response. We find that it has similar performance compared to the popular ...
