Robust spatial audio control relies on accurate acoustic propagation models, yet environmental variations, especially changes in the speed of sound, cause systematic mismatches that degrade performance. Existing methods either assume known…

Non-line-of-sight localization in signal-deprived environments is a challenging yet pertinent problem. Acoustic methods in such predominantly indoor scenarios encounter difficulty due to the reverberant nature. In this study, we aim to…

Late reverberation involves the superposition of many sound reflections resulting in a diffuse sound field. Since the spatially resolved perception of individual diffuse reflections is impossible, simplifications can potentially be made for…

Hearables are becoming ubiquitous, yet their sound controls remain blunt: users can either enable global noise suppression or focus on a single target sound. Real-world acoustic scenes, however, contain many simultaneous sources that users…
