Wave field synthesis (WFS) is a prevalent approach to multiple-loudspeaker sound reproduction for an extended listening area. Although powerful as a theoretical concept, its deployment is hampered by practical limitations due to diffraction, aliasing, and ...
The following paper presents a novel audio-visual approach for unsupervised speaker locationing. Using recordings from a single, low-resolution room overview camera and a single far-field microphone, a state-of-the art audio-only speaker localization syste ...
Accurate detection, localization and tracking of multiple moving speakers permits a wide spectrum of applications. Techniques are required that are versatile, robust to environmental variations, and not constraining for non-technical end-users. Based on di ...
Usually acoustic beamformer or directive microphones are used in order to focus on known potential locations emitting sounds so as to identify and extract their major noise components. However performances of these techniques depend on the number of microp ...
The precedence effect describes perceived localization dominance of a sound event over a sound event arriving 2 to 50 ms later. A related effect, occurring with sequences of 100 ms long narrowband noise bursts, is described. In contrast to classical preced ...
Dematerialized music and MP3 players offer to the user the possibility of carrying his musical content everywhere. However, at home, the music collection is generally not centralized, split between different rooms and audio supports (CDs, MP3s, etc). In th ...
Super-directional loudspeaker arrays can be used to achieve high directivity in a limited low-frequency range. As opposed to microphone arrays, the distance between the loudspeakers has to be relatively large, resulting in aliasing starting at relatively l ...
In handsfree tele- or video-communication, acoustic echoes arise due to the coupling between the loudspeakers and microphones. It is much more challenging to remove the undesired acoustic echoes for stereo or multi-channel tele-communication systems than f ...
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 ...
