Modeling Techniques for Virtual Acoustics

Author Lauri Savioja Title Modeling Techniques for Virtual Acoustics The goal of this research has been the creation of convincing virtual acoustic environments. This consists of three separate modeling tasks: the modeling of the sound source, the room acoustics, and the listener. In this thesis the main emphasis is on room acoustics and sound synthesis. Room acoustic modeling techniques can be divided into wave-based, ray-based, and statistical methods. Accurate modeling for the whole...
