Analysis tools used in research laboratories, for sound synthesis, by musicians or sound engineers can be rather different. Discussion of the assumptions and of the limitations of these tools permits to propose a first tool as relevant and…

Dynamic range limitations in signal processing often lead to clipping, or saturation, in signals. The task of audio declipping is estimating the original audio signal, given its clipped measurements, and has attracted much interest in…

A soundscape is defined by the acoustic environment a person perceives at a location. In this work, we propose a framework for mapping soundscapes across the Earth. Since soundscapes involve sound distributions that span varying spatial…

We propose a practical framework to synthesize the broadband sound-field on a small rigid surface based on the physics of sound propagation. The sound-field is generated as a composite map of two components: the room component and the…

Speech audio quality is subject to degradation caused by an acoustic environment and isotropic ambient and point noises. The environment can lead to decreased speech intelligibility and loss of focus and attention by the listener. Basic…

Sound is a fundamental and rich source of information; playing a key role in many areas from humanities and social sciences through to engineering and mathematics. Sound is more than just data 'signals'. It encapsulates physical, sensorial…

Humans can robustly recognize and localize objects by using visual and/or auditory cues. While machines are able to do the same with visual data already, less work has been done with sounds. This work develops an approach for scene…

We present a new method to capture the acoustic characteristics of real-world rooms using commodity devices, and use the captured characteristics to generate similar sounding sources with virtual models. Given the captured audio and an…

We demonstrate tools and applications developed based on the method of "sound safeguarding," which enables any sound to be used for acoustic measurements. We developed tools for preparation, interactive and real-time measurement, and report…

Identification and localization of sounds are both integral parts of computational auditory scene analysis. Although each can be solved separately, the goal of forming coherent auditory objects and achieving a comprehensive spatial scene…
