In mixed reality applications, a realistic acoustic experience in spatial environments is as crucial as the visual experience for achieving true immersion. Despite recent advances in neural approaches for Room Impulse Response (RIR) estimation, most existing methods are limited to the single environ…
Can conversational videos captured from multiple egocentric viewpoints reveal the map of a scene in a cost-efficient way? We seek to answer this question by proposing a new problem: efficiently building the map of a previously unseen 3D environment by exploiting shared information in the egocentric…
We propose a novel approach for blind room impulse response (RIR) estimation systems in the context of a downstream application scenario, far-field automatic speech recognition (ASR). We first draw the connection between improved RIR estimation and improved ASR performance, as a means of evaluating…
Deep neural networks are often coupled with traditional spatial filters, such as MVDR beamformers for effectively exploiting spatial information. Even though single-stage end-to-end supervised models can obtain impressive enhancement, combining them with a traditional beamformer and a DNN-based post…
We introduce SoundSpaces 2.0, a platform for on-the-fly geometry-based audio rendering for 3D environments. Given a 3D mesh of a real-world environment, SoundSpaces can generate highly realistic acoustics for arbitrary sounds captured from arbitrary microphone locations. Together with existing 3D vi…
In this work, we propose a new model called triple-path attentive recurrent network (TPARN) for multichannel speech enhancement in the time domain. TPARN extends a single-channel dual-path network to a multichannel network by adding a third path along the spatial dimension. First, TPARN processes sp…
We introduce the visual acoustic matching task, in which an audio clip is transformed to sound like it was recorded in a target environment. Given an image of the target environment and a waveform for the source audio, the goal is to re-synthesize the audio to match the target room acoustics as sugg…
In augmented reality applications, where room geometries and material properties are not readily available, it is desirable to get a representation of the sound field in a room from a limited set of available room impulse response measurements. In this paper, we propose a novel method for 2D interpo…
