Acoustic intensity can be used for different purposes such as sound source localisation, source separation and spatial audio object coding. Three-dimensional measurement of the acoustic intensity requires the design of special microphone arrays. A theoretical analysis and numerical simulations of intensity measurements using open spherical microphone arrays are presented in this paper. The calculation of the acoustic intensity using signals from an open spherical microphone array is presented first. Error metrics are defined to quantify the magnitude and directional errors. Isotropic operating range is defined as the upper frequency for which both errors are within prescribed bounds. Different array topologies are compared using numerical simulations.

SOUND SOURCE LOCALISATION PERFORMANCE OF OPEN SPHERICAL ACOUSTIC INTENSITY PROBES UNDER REVERBERANT CONDITIONS Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2014-04-25) Open-spherical acoustic intensity probes are microphone arrays based on the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral and are used in the measurement of active acoustic intensity. The acoustic intensity measurements obtained by these arrays can be used to localise sound sources. Previously, the performance of these arrays in acoustic free field conditions were obtained using numerical simulations and it was shown that they provide better performance than other types of probes. This paper discusses the implementation of ...
ACOUSTIC SOURCE SEPARATION USING RIGID SPHERICAL MICROPHONE ARRAYS VIA SPATIALLY WEIGHTED ORTHOGONAL MATCHING PURSUIT Coteli, Mert Burkay; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2018-09-20) Acoustic source separation refers to the extraction of individual source signals from microphone array recordings of multiple sources made in multipath environments such as rooms. The most straightforward approach to acoustic source separation involves spatial filtering via beamforming. While beamforming works well for a few sources and under low reverberation, its performance diminishes for a high number of sources and/or high reverberation. An informed acoustic source separation method based on the applic...
A GENERALIZED DESIGN METHOD FOR DIRECTIVITY PATTERNS OF SPHERICAL MICROPHONE ARRAYS De Sena, Enzo; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Cvetkovic, Zoran (2011-05-27) Spherical microphone arrays provide a flexible solution to obtaining higher-order directivity patterns, which are useful in audio recording and reproduction. A general systematic approach to the design of directivity patterns for spherical microphone arrays is introduced in this paper. The directivity patterns are obtained by optimizing a cost function which is a convex combination of a front-back energy ratio and a smoothness term. Most of the standard directivity patterns - i.e. omnidirectional, cardioid,...
Theoretical Analysis of Open Spherical Microphone Arrays for Acoustic Intensity Measurements Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2014-02-01) Acoustic intensity is a vectorial measure of acoustic energy flow through a given region of interest. Three-dimensional measurement of acoustic intensity requires special microphone array configurations. This paper provides a theoretical analysis of open spherical microphone arrays for the 3-D measurement of acoustic intensity. The calculations of the pressure and the particle velocity components of the sound field inside a closed volume are expressed using the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral equation. The con...
Spherical harmonics based acoustic scene analysis for object-based audio Çöteli, Mert Burkay; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Department of Information Systems (2021-2-19) Object-based audio relies on elemental audio signals from individual sound sources and their associated metadata to be reconstructed at the listener side. While defining audio objects in a production setting is straightforward, it is not trivial to extract audio objects from more realistic recording scenarios such as concerts. Thus, existing object-based audio standards also define scene-based formats alongside objectbased representations that provide immersive audio, but without the flexibility provided by...
