"Space-time-frequency sound processing with spherical microphone arrays"

Spherical microphone arrays (SMA) are among the most recently developed and most widely used systems for the spatiotemporal analysis of three-dimensional sound fields. Applying the Fourier Bessel expansion (FBE) the recorded sound field can be decomposed into spherical harmonics, which form a complete orthonormal set of basis functions on the two-sphere. This representation domain has many advantages for the space-time-frequency processing of acoustic wave fields.

This talk briefly summarizes the FBE theory and gives an in-depth discussion of different spherical microphone array processing methods that have been developed within the ANR project “Sample Orchestrator 2”, as for instance the analysis and re-synthesis of measured directional room impulse responses (DRIRs), the transcoding of recorded spatiotemporal sound fields to binaural and higher-order Ambisonics (HOA), and a hybrid reverberation engine using measured and feedback delay networks (FDN) that will be included into the next release of the spat~ signal processing library.
