Characterizing sound field diffuseness has many practical applications, from room acoustics analysis to speech enhancement and sound field reproduction. In this paper we investigate how spherical microphone arrays (SMAs) can be used to…
Recently, the Spherical Wavelet Framework (SWF) was proposed to combine the benefits of Ambisonics and Object-Based Audio (OBA) by utilising highly localised basis functions. SWF can enhance the sweet-spot area and reduce localisation blur…
The importance of the information in the direct sound to human perception of spatial sound sources is an ongoing research topic. The classification between direct sound and diffuse or reverberant sound forms the basis of numerous studies in…
Scene-based spatial audio formats, such as Ambisonics, are playback system agnostic and may therefore be favoured for delivering immersive audio experiences to a wide range of (potentially unknown) devices. The number of channels required…
Linear operations on coefficients in the spherical harmonics (SH) transform domain that again yield SH-domain coefficients are an important toolset in many disciplines of research and engineering. They comprise rotations, spatially…
Spherical Harmonics ROOM), an open-source Python library for room acoustics simulation using Ambisonics, available at https://github.com/Yhonatangayer/shroom and installable via \texttt{pip install pyshroom}. \textbf{shroom} projects…
Sound field reproduction methods based on numerical optimization, which aim to minimize the error between synthesized and desired sound fields, are useful in many practical scenarios because of their flexibility in the array geometry of…
Multichannel speech enhancement leverages spatial cues to improve intelligibility and quality, but most learning-based methods rely on specific microphone array geometry, unable to account for geometry changes. To mitigate this limitation,…
Learning from data in the quaternion domain enables us to exploit internal dependencies of 4D signals and treating them as a single entity. One of the models that perfectly suits with quaternion-valued data processing is represented by 3D…
Spherical microphone arrays (SMAs) are widely used for sound field analysis, and sparse recovery (SR) techniques can significantly enhance their spatial resolution by modeling the sound field as a sparse superposition of dominant plane…
Spherical microphone arrays are convenient tools for capturing the spatial characteristics of a sound field. However, achieving superior spatial resolution requires arrays with numerous capsules, consequently leading to expensive devices.…
In this work, we address the challenge of encoding speech captured by a microphone array using deep learning techniques with the aim of preserving and accurately reconstructing crucial spatial cues embedded in multi-channel recordings. We…
Multi-channel acoustic signal processing is a well-established and powerful tool to exploit the spatial diversity between a target signal and non-target or noise sources for signal enhancement. However, the textbook solutions for optimal…
In this paper we discuss the motivation, design, and analysis of ambisonic decoders for systems where the vertical order is less than the horizontal order, known as mixed-order Ambisonic systems. This can be due to the use of microphone…
Acoustic velocity vectors (AVVs) are related to the human's perception of sound at low frequencies and are widely used in Ambisonics. This paper proposes a spatial sound field reproduction algorithm called velocity matching, which…
Utilizing spherical harmonic (SH) domain has been established as the default method of obtaining continuity over space in head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). This paper concerns different variants of extending this solution by…
In this paper, we attempt to study the conditioning of the Spherical Harmonic Matrix (SHM), which is widely used in the discrete, limited order orthogonal representation of sound fields. SHM's has been widely used in the audio applications…
Spatial attributes of room acoustics have been widely studied using microphone and loudspeaker arrays. However, systems that combine both arrays, referred to as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, have only been studied to a…
Acoustic signal processing in the spherical harmonics domain (SHD) is an active research area that exploits the signals acquired by higher order microphone arrays. A very important task is that concerning the localization of active sound…
Ambisonics rendering has become an integral part of 3D audio for headphones. It works well with existing recording hardware, the processing cost is mostly independent of the number of sound sources, and it elegantly allows for rotating the…
