    Objects Shoichi Koyama1, Masaki Nakada, Juliano G. C. Ribeiro, and Hiroshi Saruwatari2 1National Institute of Informatics, Japan 2The University of Tokyo, Japan
  2. Sound field estimation Ø Fundamental problem in audio signal processing

    having various applications Ø Applicable to spatial audio recording, interpolation of acoustic transfer functions, spatial active noise control, and so forth. October 14, 2023 2 Estimating sound field inside target region using multiple mics Microphone Target region
  3. Limitation of current sound field estimation methods Ø In some

    practical applications, incident sound field in region containing scattering objects needs to be estimated Ø E.g., spatial active noise control: October 14, 2023 3 Target region should not contain any scattering objects Estimation accuracy can be degraded owing to scattering effects
  4. Goal October 14, 2023 4 Sound field estimation in region

    containing scattering objects of unknown properties Ø Problem setting: – Estimating pressure distribution of incident sound field in target region – One or more scattering objects exist inside spherical region Ø Goal: – Develop estimation method of in from observation without prior knowledge of scattering properties Incident sound Microphone Scattering objects Incident Total Scattering

    regularization term for corressponds to Ø Each element of is analytically derived October 14, 2023 8 Weighting matrix inducing smoothness of scattering field in angular directions to alleviate dependence on truncation order Small high-order coefficients compared to low-order coefficients
  9. Experiments Ø Settings – Target region: Sphere of radius R

    = 0.5 m – 25 mics on 2 spherical surfaces of radii 0.5 and 0.55 m (50 mics in total) – Rigid sphere of radius 0.3 m at center of – Point source at (2.0, 2.0, 0.0) m Ø Comparison – Kernel ridge regression (KRR) – Proposed • Weighting matrix: • Truncation order: Ø Evaluation measure October 14, 2023 9 Point source Mic Rigid sphere
