State-of-the-art in auralization of concet hall models - What is still missing?

TL;DR: The auralization of concert hall models is discussed by pointing out issues which still need more research as well as issues which have already been solved.

Low order modeling for multiple moving sound synthesis using head-related transfer functions' principal basis vectors

P.S. Chanda, +1 more
TL;DR: An algorithm for simulating multiple moving-sound sources in a virtual auditory space with balanced model approximation of principal basis vectors extracted from the head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) dataset is developed.

Auditory adapted exponential transfer function smoothing (AAS)

TL;DR: The system-theoretical foundation of a smoothing procedure referred to as auditory adapted exponential smoothing (AAS) is derived, which is adapted to the spectral properties of the human hearing system by implementing frequency-dependent smoothing bandwidths.

Perception of Animacy from the Motion of a Single Sound Object.

TL;DR: Results confirm findings from the visual domain that a change in the velocity of motion is positively correlated with perceived animacy, and changes in direction were found to influence animacy judgment as well, suggesting that an ability to facilitate and sustain self-movement is perceived as a living quality not only in the visualdomain, but in the auditory domain as well.

Real time calculation of the head related transfer function based on the boundary element method

TL;DR: This study discusses a new calculation method of the HRTF based on the reciprocity principle which enables significant speed-up of the calculation.

Simulation of the transient and steady‐state sound propagation in rooms using a new combined ray‐tracing/image‐source algorithm

TL;DR: The new method combines the advantages of the ray‐tracing process, namely, the relatively slow increase of computation time with the length of the impulse response, with the accuracy inherent to the image‐source model, which is even sufficient to calculate the Fourier transform.

Transformation characteristics of the external human ear

TL;DR: With an impulse response technique the transfer functions from the free sound field to the ear‐canal entrance were measured on 20 subjects for sound incidence and the eardrum impedance was computed from this transfer function and completes the poor knowledge of the eARDrum impedance in the frequency range from 2 to 15 kHz.

Directional sensitivity of sound‐pressure levels in the human ear canal

TL;DR: The results indicate the types of horizontal and vertical spatial information that are available from sound level cues over various ranges of frequency and, within a small subject population, indicate the nature of intersubject variability.

ODEON—Another hybrid room acoustical model

TL;DR: The ODEON room acoustics program is intended to be a base for research in objective and subjective room acoustic research, and a useful tool for consultants, in which an initial ray tracing is carried out to determine potential reflection sequences.

Spectral cues utilized in the localization of sound in the median sagittal plane

TL;DR: A series of experiments carried out to further elucidate the role of spectral cues in locating sounds in the median sagittal plane (MSP) revealed a notch in the frequency response curves which migrated toward the lower frequencies as the sound source was moved from above to below the aural axis.
