BEYOND OMNIDIRECTIONAL: NEURAL AMBISONICS ENCODING FOR ARBITRARY MICROPHONE DIRECTIVITY PATTERNS USING CROSS-ATTENTION

ICASSP 2026oral

We present a deep neural network approach for encoding microphone array signals into Ambisonics that generalizes to arbitrary microphone array configurations with fixed microphone count but varying locations and frequency-dependent directional characteristics. Unlike previous methods that rely only…

Gen-A: Generalizing Ambisonics Neural Encoding to Unseen Microphone Arrays

ICASSP 2025accepted

Using deep neural networks (DNNs) for encoding of microphone array (MA) signals to the Ambisonics spatial audio format can surpass certain limitations of established conventional methods, but existing DNN-based methods need to be trained separately for each MA. This paper proposes a DNN-based method…

Neural Ambisonics Encoding For Compact Irregular Microphone Arrays

ICASSP 2024accepted

Ambisonics encoding of microphone array signals can enable various spatial audio applications, such as virtual reality or telepresence, but it is typically designed for uniformly-spaced spherical microphone arrays. This paper proposes a method for Ambisonics encoding that uses a deep neural network…
