Sound Safeguarding for Acoustic Measurement Using Any Sounds: Tools and Applications
Hideki Kawahara, Kohei Yatabe, Ken-Ichi Sakakibara
We demonstrate tools and applications developed based on the method of "sound safeguarding," which enables any sound to be used for acoustic measurements. We developed tools for pr…
Proposal of protocols for speech materials acquisition and presentation assisted by tools based on structured test signals
Hideki Kawahara, Ken-Ichi Sakakibara, Mitsunori Mizumachi +1
We propose protocols for acquiring speech materials, making them reusable for future investigations, and presenting them for subjective experiments. We also provide means to evalua…
Sampling-Frequency-Independent Universal Sound Separation
Tomohiko Nakamura, Kohei Yatabe
This paper proposes a universal sound separation (USS) method capable of handling untrained sampling frequencies (SFs). The USS aims at separating arbitrary sources of different ty…
Simultaneous Measurement of Multiple Acoustic Attributes Using Structured Periodic Test Signals Including Music and Other Sound Materials
Hideki Kawahara, Kohei Yatabe, Ken-Ichi Sakakibara +2
We introduce a general framework for measuring acoustic properties such as liner time-invariant (LTI) response, signal-dependent time-invariant (SDTI) component, and random and tim…
