Room shape and size estimation using directional impulse response measurements

2002-09-20
Impulse response of a room carries abstract information on the size and shape of that room. Acoustics research has focused on obtaining reflectograms from these physical characteristics using acoustical modelling techniques. However, estimation of the physical structure is also possible by analyzing the impulse responses for early reflections, echo amplitudes, arrival times and reverberation time. This paper proposes a new method to estimate the physical structure of a room using the features of directional impulse response (DIR) measurements obtained by applying the MLS-technique with a directional loudspeaker and a soundfield microphone. The results for 4 rooms were also displayed.

Room-temperature scanning Hall probe microscope (RT-SHPM) imaging of garnet films using new high-performance InSb sensors
Oral, Ahmet; DEDE, M; MASUDA, H; OKAMOTO, A; SHİBASAKİ, I; SANDHU, A (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2002-09-01)
High-performance InSb micro-HaIl sensors were fabricated by optical lithography and incorporated in a room-temperature scanning Hall probe microscope for imaging of localized magnetic fluctuations in close proximity to the surfaces of crystalline uniaxial garnet films. The room-temperature noise figure of the InSb sensors was 6-10 mG/v/Hz, which is an order of magnitude better than GaAs-AlGaAs two-dimensional electron gas sensors used to date.
Damage diagnosis in frame structures with a dynamic response method
Akgün, Müşerref Asuman; Ju, Fudong (Informa UK Limited, 1990-6)
The dynamic response of planar frame structures composed of damped Bernoulli-Euler beams is computed, with and without a crack present in the structure. The inertance changes due to the crack are investigated in relation to the crack location, with the aim of developing a diagnosis method. The optimum excitation location and frequency and the optimum locations for response measurement are determined for best diagnosis results. The effects of crack location and severity and of damping are investigated. Dampi...
A perceptual shape descriptor
Arica, N; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2002-08-15)
In this study, we present the two dimensional object silhouette by a one dimensional descriptor, which,preserves the perceptual structure of its shape. The proposed descriptor is based on the moments of the angles between the bearings of a point on the boundary, in a set of neighborhood systems. At each point on the boundary, the angle between a pair of bearings is calculated to extract the topological information of the boundary in a given locality. The proposed method does not use any-heuristic rule or em...
A new method of curve fiting for calculation of reverberation time from impulse responses with insufficient length
Özgenel, Çağlar Firat; Sorguç, Arzu (2012-12-01)
Most of the room acoustics evaluation parameters are calculated from the energy decay curve obtained from the room impulse response. Schroeder's backwards integration method is one of the most commonly used methods to obtain room impulse response. Although, the method holds its validity since 1964 and used extensively, obtaining room impulse response with sufficient length to observe total energy decay requires high computational cost especially in highly reverberant rooms. In such cases, present acoustical...
