Sound field analysis system

摘要

In one embodiment, a sound field is mapped by extracting spatial angle information, diffusivity information, and optionally, sound level information. The extracted information is mapped for representation in the form of a Riemann sphere, wherein spatial angle varies longitudinally, diffusivity varies latitudinally, and level varies radially along the sphere. A more generalized mapping employs mapping the spatial angle and diffusivity information onto a representative region exhibiting variations in direction of arrival that correspond to the extracted spatial information and variations in distance that correspond to the extracted diffusivity information.
