Direct-Ambient Decomposition and Upmix of Surround Signals

Christof Faller, Andreas Walther

Various direct-ambient signal decompositions, applicable to two-channel stereophonic signals, have been proposed previously. Strategies to enhance these decompositions for multi-channel surround audio signals are not obvious. A method is proposed, which es ...

Binaural Audio Signal Processing Using Interaural Coherence Matching

Fritz Menzer

Binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) characterize the transfer of sound from a source in a room to the left and right ear entrances of a listener. Applying BRIRs to sound source signals enables headphone listening with the perception of a three dimensio ...

Design and Limitations of Non-Coincidence Correction Filters for Soundfield Microphones

Mihailo Kolundzija, Christof Faller

The tetrahedral microphone capsule arrangement in a Soundfield microphone captures a so-called A-format signal which is then converted to a corresponding B-format signal. The phase differences between the A-format signal channels due to non-coincidence of ...

Designing Practical Filters For Sound Field Reconstruction

Martin Vetterli, Mihailo Kolundzija, Christof Faller

Multichannel sound field reproduction techniques, such as Wave Field Synthesis (WFS) and Sound Field Reconstruction (SFR), define loudspeaker filters in the frequency domain. However, in order to use these techniques in practical systems, one needs to conv ...

Method to generate multi-channel audio signals from stereo signals

Christof Faller

A perceptually motivated spatial decomposition for two-channel stereo audio signals, capturing the information about the virtual sound stage, is proposed. The spatial decomposition allows to re-synthesize audio signals for playback over other sound systems ...

Parametric joint-coding of audio sources

Christof Faller

The following coding scenario is addressed: A number of audio source signals need to be transmitted or stored for the purpose of mixing wave field synthesis, multi channel surround, or stereo signals after decoding the source signals. The proposed techniqu ...

Speech Enhancement and Recognition in Meetings with an Audio-Visual Sensor Array

Daniel Gatica-Perez

We address the problem of distant speech acquisition in multi-party meetings, using multiple microphones and cameras. Microphone array beamforming techniques present a potential alternative to close-talking microphones by providing speech enhancement throu ...

Continuous Wavelet Transform Ridge Extraction for Spectral Interferometry Imaging

Michaël Unser, Theo Lasser

The combination of wavelength multiplexing and spectral interferometry allows for the encoding of multidimensional information and its transmission over a mono-dimensional channel; for example, measurements of a surface's topography acquired through a mono ...

Parametric coding of spatial audio

Christof Faller

A wide range of techniques for coding a single speech or audio signal channel have been developed over the last few decades. In addition to pure redundancy reduction, sophisticated source and receiver models have been considered for reducing the bitrate. O ...

Magic wand and the Enigma of the Sphinx

Daniel Thalmann, Olivier Renault, Frédéric Vexo, Tolga Abaci, Mireille Clavien, Jan Ciger

This paper presents an evaluation of the benefits and user acceptance of a multimodal interface in which the user interacts with a game-like interactive virtual reality application "The Enigma of the Sphinx". The interface consists of a large projection sc ...
