Abstract:
A method for estimating the acoustic reverberations in an environment comprising the following steps: a measurement step in which one acoustic signal emitted in the environment is captured; a step for determination of acoustic energy decay rate distribution during which an acoustic energy decay rate distribution is determined from the acoustic signal captured in step (a); an estimation step during which a reverberation time and a reverberation level of sound in the environment are estimated by regression from the characteristic function of the acoustic energy decay rate distribution determined in step (b).

Claim (Index 1):
A method for estimating the acoustic reverberations in an environment comprising the following steps:\n (a) a measurement step in which at least one acoustic signal emitted in the environment is captured; (b) an observation step during which an acoustic energy decay rate distribution is determined from the acoustic signal measured in step (a) and the characteristic function of the acoustic energy decay rate distribution is determined; (c) an estimation step during which a characteristic reverberation time and a characteristic reverberation level of the sound in the environment thereof are estimated by regression from said characteristic function determined in step (b), where the regression is done with reference to: reference characteristic functions representative respectively of several acoustic energy decay rate distributions; reference characteristic reverberation times corresponding to said reference characteristic functions; and reference characteristic reverberation levels corresponding to said reference characteristic functions.
