Physically Motivated Environmental Sound Synthesis for Virtual Worlds
A system is described for simulating environmental sound in interactive virtual worlds, using the physical state of objects as control parameters. It contains a unified framework for integration with physics s...

Ecological Acoustics Perspective for Content-Based Retrieval of Environmental Sounds
In this paper we present a method to search for environmental sounds in large unstructured databases of user-submitted audio, using a general sound events taxonomy from ecological acoustics. We discuss the use...

An Ontological Framework for Retrieving Environmental Sounds Using Semantics and Acoustic Content
Organizing a database of user-contributed environmental sound recordings allows sound files to be linked not only by the semantic tags and labels applied to them, but also to other sounds with similar acoustic...

Evaluating Environmental Sounds from a Presence Perspective for Virtual Reality Applications
We propose a methodology to design and evaluate environmental sounds for virtual environments. We propose to combine physically modeled sound events with recorded soundscapes. Physical models are used to provi...

Comparisons of Auditory Impressions and Auditory Imagery Associated with Onomatopoeic Representation for Environmental Sounds
Humans represent sounds to others and receive information about sounds from others using onomatopoeia. Such representation is useful for obtaining and reporting the acoustic features and impressions of actual ...

Combining Superdirective Beamforming and Frequency-Domain Blind Source Separation for Highly Reverberant Signals
Frequency-domain blind source separation (BSS) performs poorly in high reverberation because the independence assumption collapses at each frequency bins when the number of bins increases. To improve the separ...

Development of the Database for Environmental Sound Research and Application (DESRA): Design, Functionality, and Retrieval Considerations
Theoretical and applied environmental sounds research is gaining prominence but progress has been hampered by the lack of a comprehensive, high quality, accessible database of environmental sounds. An ongoing ...
