Conversion of Lateral Energy Fraction Measurement into Stereophonic Room Impulse Responses

Abstract

Capturing stereophonic room impulse responses for simulation of spatial impression of an acoustic space, for example for music production, is time consuming and expensive, especially when large database of well-recognized music spaces is needed. However, these spaces are often measured by companies dealing with room acoustics in order to compare their objective listening quality. The paper presents method for obtaining stereophonic room impulse responses from room impulse responses captured in order to compute some criteria of objective evaluation of acoustic spaces.
