Modelling sound source localization under precedence effect using multivariate Gaussian mixtures

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 modeling sound source localization under the precedence effect. The model interprets the precedence effect as a spatial property rather than a temporal one.

Modeling phoneme durations and fundamental frequency contours in Turkish speech
Öztürk, Özlem; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
The term prosody refers to characteristics of speech such as intonation, timing, loudness, and other acoustical properties imposed by physical, intentional and emotional state of the speaker. Phone durations and fundamental frequency contours are considered as two of the most prominent aspects of prosody. Modeling phone durations and fundamental frequency contours in Turkish speech are studied in this thesis. Various methods exist for building prosody models. State-of-the-art is dominated by corpus-based me...
A fixed cost variable length auralization filter model utilizing the precedence effect
Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (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 new technique for line interference monitoring and reduction in biopotential amplifiers
Ider, Yusuf Ziya; Koymen, H. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1990-6)
Hardware developed to record the common mode line frequency signal on the body simultaneously with the ECG lead signals of a 15-channel computerized cardiograph is described. This interference reference signal and its quadrature, obtained by software, are linearly combined to be subtracted from any one of the channels to reduce the interference to below the quantization level of the 12 b A/D converter. Coefficients of the linear combination are estimated using linear regression, which is applied to the rela...
Modeling of time domain represented signals with multitone signals
Cansız, Gökhan; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Signals in certain systems, such as the transmitted signal in a cellular communication system, are strongly time dependent, non-deterministic and stochastically not well defined. Predicting the performance of the transmitter with such a signal at its input is important for efficient operation. Therefore, it is crucial to model a given time dependent waveform by multi-tone signals, which enables analytical derivations. In this thesis, multi-tone representation is employed to model the varying envelope arbitr...
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...
