In this paper, we develop an automatic image sonification system using auditory icons and their stereophonic presentation. We evaluated the effects of scene sounds action on understanding sense presence. The results showed that contributed to presence also improved On other hand, it was confirmed object alone can convey information in images have a high index Our is expected provide not only mo...

In subjective listening tests, natural sound sources were presented to subjects as vertically-oriented phantom images from two layers of loudspeakers, ‘height’ and ‘main’. Subjects were required to reduce the amplitude of the height layer until the position of the resultant sound source matched that of the same source presented from the main layer only (the localisation threshold). Delays of 0,...

This paper addresses the fundamental problem of multi-channel system identification given the multiple input and single output signals of a MISO system. The presented approach is based on the normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm in combination with a set of special excitation signals, constructed from so called perfect sequences (PSEQs). The new excitation strategy opens up the possibi...

In this chapter we describe a Bayesian approach to audio source separation. The approach relies on probabilistic modeling of sound sources as (sparse) linear combinations of atoms from a dictionary and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) inference. Several prior distributions are considered for the source expansion coefficients. We first consider independent and identically distributed (iid) genera...
