SofaMyRoom: a fast and multiplatform "shoebox" room simulator for binaural room impulse response dataset generation
This paper introduces a shoebox room simulator able to systematically generate synthetic datasets of binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) given an arbitrary set of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). The evaluation of machine hearing algorithms frequently requires BRIR datasets in order to simulate the acoustics of any environment. However, currently available solutions typically consider only HRTFs measured on dummy heads, which poorly characterize the high variability in spatial sound perception. Our solution allows to integrate a room impulse response (RIR) simulator with different HRTF sets represented in Spatially Oriented Format for Acoustics (SOFA). The source code and the compiled binaries for different operating systems allow to both advanced and non-expert users to benefit from our toolbox, see https://github.com/spatialaudiotools/sofamyroom/ .

Damping Density of an Absorptive Shoebox Room Derived from the Image-Source Method
The image-source method is widely applied to compute room impulse responses (RIRs) of shoebox rooms with arbitrary absorption. However, with increasing RIR lengths, the number of image sources grows rapidly, leading to s…

Geometrical acoustics is well suited for simulating room reverberation in interactive real-time applications. While the image source model (ISM) is exceptionally fast, the restriction to specular reflections impacts its …
