Enhancing Situational Awareness in Wearable Audio Devices Using a Lightweight Sound Event Localization and Detection System
Jun-Wei Yeow, Ee-Leng Tan, Santi Peksi +2
Wearable audio devices with active noise control (ANC) enhance listening comfort but often at the expense of situational awareness. However, this auditory isolation may mask crucia…
Do neonates hear what we measure? Assessing neonatal ward soundscapes at the neonates ears
Bhan Lam, Peijin Esther Monica Fan, Yih Yann Tay +5
Acoustic guidelines for neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) aim to protect vulnerable neonates from noise-induced physiological harm. However, the lack of recognised internationa…
Automating Urban Soundscape Enhancements with AI: In-situ Assessment of Quality and Restorativeness in Traffic-Exposed Residential Areas
Bhan Lam, Zhen-Ting Ong, Kenneth Ooi +10
Formalized in ISO 12913, the "soundscape" approach is a paradigmatic shift towards perception-based urban sound management, aiming to alleviate the substantial socioeconomic costs…
Autonomous Soundscape Augmentation with Multimodal Fusion of Visual and Participant-linked Inputs
Kenneth Ooi, Karn N. Watcharasupat, Bhan Lam +2
Autonomous soundscape augmentation systems typically use trained models to pick optimal maskers to effect a desired perceptual change. While acoustic information is paramount to su…
ARAUS: A Large-Scale Dataset and Baseline Models of Affective Responses to Augmented Urban Soundscapes
Kenneth Ooi, Zhen-Ting Ong, Karn N. Watcharasupat +3
Choosing optimal maskers for existing soundscapes to effect a desired perceptual change via soundscape augmentation is non-trivial due to extensive varieties of maskers and a deart…
