A fixed cost variable length auralization filter model utilizing the precedence effect

2003-10-19
The precedence effect refers to a group of properties of the human hearing system, which enables us to localize sounds in closed environments. Although, its foundations are laid out clearly, the precedence effect has not been exploited fully in auralization systems. The new auralization model proposed in this paper, uses the onset dominance and buildup properties of the precedence effect as a starting point to increase auralization fidelity while keeping the computational cost fixed. The proposed model uses a graceful degradation approach for auralizing the direct sound to increase localization fidelity without affecting the perception of the early reflections.

Modelling sound source localization under precedence effect using multivariate Gaussian mixtures
Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2002-10-10)
The precedence effect refers to the property of the human auditory system that enables accurate localization of sound sources where many interfering echoes of the original signal are also present. Perception of the elevation, azimuth, and distance of sound sources are affected in the presence of an echo. The multivariate Gaussian mixture model proposed in this paper combines azimuth, elevation and distance perception, and provides a general framework for mode...
A Method For Fine Resolution Frequency Estimation From Three DFT Samples
Candan, Çağatay (2011-06-01)
The parameter estimation of a complex exponential waveform observed under white noise is typically tackled in two stages. In the first stage, a coarse frequency estimate is found by the application of an N-point DFT to the input of length N. In the second stage, a fine search around the peak determined in the first stage is conducted. The method proposed in this paper presents a simpler alternative. The method suggests a nonlinear relation involving three DFT samples already calculated in the first stage to...
A symmetric surface micromachined gyroscope with decoupled oscillation modes
Alper, Said Emre; Akın, Tayfun (2001-06-14)
This paper reports a new symmetric gyroscope structure that allows not only matched resonant frequencies for the drive and sense vibration modes for better resolution, but also decoupled drive and sense oscillation modes for preventing unstable operation due to mechanical coupling. The symmetry and decoupling features are achieved at the same time with a new suspension beam design. The gyroscope structure is designed using a standard three-layer polysilicon surface micromachining process (MUMPs) and simulat...
Sound field analysis using a compact pressure gradient array
Günel Kılıç, Banu; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2005-10-16)
The characteristics of a sound field at a location are determined by the arrival directions of the direct sound and the reflections, their amplitudes and time delays, which constitute the directional room responses (DRRs). While the sound field in a room can be modelled with a variety of acoustical modelling methods, there are relatively few recording-based analysis techniques. This paper proposes a two-step sound field analysis method using recordings of a compact stationary pressure-gradient array which i...
An alternative multi-tone representation of complex signals for feedforward systems
Coskun, Hakan; Mutlu, Ahmet; Demir, Şimşek (2004-12-01)
Signals used in wireless communication have various stochastic behaviors depending on the type of the modulation. The systems are nonlinear and analysis of these systems with various types of signals is tedious. Therefore developing a universal analysis method and representing any type of input signal with a certain model, such as multi-tone representation and modeling, simplify the analysis and design of these systems enabling initial rapid optimizations and understanding of the system performance. In this...
