TL;DR: The theoretical and practical use of image techniques for simulating the impulse response between two points in a small rectangular room, when convolved with any desired input signal, simulates room reverberation of the input signal.
Abstract: Image methods are commonly used for the analysis of the acoustic properties of enclosures. In this paper we discuss the theoretical and practical use of image techniques for simulating, on a digital computer, the impulse response between two points in a small rectangular room. The resulting impulse response, when convolved with any desired input signal, such as speech, simulates room reverberation of the input signal. This technique is useful in signal processing or psychoacoustic studies. The entire process is carried out on a digital computer so that a wide range of room parameters can be studied with accurate control over the experimental conditions. A fortran implementation of this model has been included.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel method is proposed for realizing exact inverse filtering of acoustic impulse responses in room, based on the principle called the multiple-input/output inverse theorem (MINT).
Abstract: A novel method is proposed for realizing exact inverse filtering of acoustic impulse responses in room. This method is based on the principle called the multiple-input/output inverse theorem (MINT). The inverse is constructed from multiple finite-impulse response (FIR) filters (transversal filters) by adding some extra acoustic signal-transmission channels produced by multiple loudspeakers or microphones. The coefficients of these FIR filters can be computed by the well-known rules of matrix algebra. Inverse filtering in a sound field is investigated experimentally. It is shown that the proposed method is greatly superior to previous methods that use only one acoustic signal-transmission channel. The results prove the possibility of sound reproduction and sound reception without any distortion caused by reflected sounds. >
