Listening tests were carried out using a modified MUSHRA method to compare the perceived naturalness of reverberation generated using scattering delay networks (SDNs), feedback delay networks (FDNs), CATT- Acoustic modelling, and convolution with recorded room impulse responses. The difference in naturalness ratings achieved by reverberation generated using FDNs and SDNs was statistically significant, with the mean rating being 12% higher for SDN stimuli than for FDN stimuli. It was also found that CATT-Acoustic models which had been simplified to a bare rectangular room received lower ratings than models that included furniture or irregular room shaping, suggesting that the scattering and mixing effects of irregularities cause improvements in perceived naturalness of the generated reverberation.

OPTIMIZATION OF ENCODING AND ERROR PROTECTION PARAMETERS FOR 3D VIDEO BROADCAST OVER DVB-H Aksay, Anil; Bugdayci, Done; Akar, Gözde (2011-05-18) In this study, we propose a heuristic methodology for modeling the end-to-end distortion characteristics of an error resilient broadcast system for 3D video overDigital Video Broadcasting -Handheld (DVB-H). We also use this model to optimally select the parameters of the video encoder and the error correction scheme, namely, Multi Protocol Encapsulation Forward Error Correction (MPE-FEC), minimizing the overall distortion. The proposed method models the RQ curve of video encoder and performance of channel c...
Evaluation of Sparsity-based Methods for Parameterized Source Separation Baskaya, Hasan Can; Öktem, Sevinç Figen (2020-10-07) Parametric reconstruction problems arise in many areas such as array processing, wireless communication, source separation, and spectroscopy. In a parametric recovery problem, the unknown model parameters in each superimposed signal are estimated from noisy observations. Sparsity-based methods used in compressive sensing are also applied to parametric recovery problems. These methods discretize the parameter space to form a dictionary whose atoms correspond to candidate parameter values, represent the data ...
Prediction of Affective States through Non-invasive Thermal Camera and EMG Recordings Gökçay, Didem; Baltaci, Serdar; Karahan, Cagri; Turkay, Kemal Dogus (2011-10-12) We propose utilization of thermal camera recordings along with simultaneous EMG recordings to monitor the dynamically changing affective state of a human. Affective state is depicted along the valence and arousal dimensions, such that readings from EMG are mapped onto the valence axis and readings from the thermal camera are mapped onto the arousal axis. The combined system increases the accuracy in prediction of affective states due to a larger palette of extracted features.
Evaluation of classical and sparsity-based methods for parametric recovery problems Başkaya, Hasan Can; Öktem, Figen S..; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020) Parametric reconstruction problems arise in many areas such as array processing, wireless communication, source separation, and spectroscopy. In a parametric recovery problem, the unknown model parameters in each superimposed signal are estimated from noisy observations. Classical methods perform the recovery over directly on the continuous-valued parameter space by solving a nonlinear inverse problem. Recently sparsity-based methods have also been applied to parametric recovery problems. These methods disc...
Spatial Correlation in Single-Carrier Massive MIMO Systems Beigiparast, Nader; Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Ayanoglu, Ender (2020-02-02) © 2020 IEEE.We present the analysis of a single-carrier massive MIMO system for the frequency selective Gaussian multi-user channel, in both uplink and downlink directions. We develop expressions for the achievable sum rate when there is spatial correlation among antennas at the base station. It is known that the channel matched filter precoder (CMFP) performs the best in a spatially uncorrelated downlink channel. However, we show that, in a spatially correlated downlink channel with two different correlati...
