Title: Reverberation level compensation
Inventor: ANTTI ERONEN
IPC: G10L19/008
Filed: 2022-02-24
Abstract: Spatial rendering in an acoustic environment 205 is assisted by obtaining acoustic environment geometry in two or three dimensions, determining an average attenuation parameter value associated with the environment, and generating a bitstream associated with this value which assists a configuration of a reverberator (eg. a Feedback Delay Network reverberator). A source-listener (210-202) distance may be determined using eg. metadata, an attenuation parameter calculated, and late reverberation applied to the input signal and compensated for according to the gain required to balance the attenuation. Reverberation may thus be controlled as the listener moves to a different environment 203 or outside 201. The source-listener distance may be estimated via a closed form expression for the average distance (AverDist) between two random points in the rectangle.
