Efficient Binaural Rendering of Spatially Extended Sound Sources
Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 71: 281–292, 2023. DOI@article{faucris.304158508, abstract = {In virtual/augmented reality or 3D applications with binaural audio, it is often desired to render sound sources with a certain spatial extent in a realistic way. A common approach is to distribute multiple correlated or decorrelated point sources over the desired spatial extent range, possibly derived from the original source signal by applying suitable decorrelation filters. Based on this basic model, a novel method for efficient and realistic binaural rendering of spatially extended sound sources is proposed. Instead of rendering each point source individually, the target auditory cues are synthesized directly from just two decorrelated input signals. This procedure comes with the advantage of low computational complexity and relaxed requirements for decorrelation filters. An objective evaluation shows that the proposed method matches the basic rendering model well in terms of perceptually relevant objective metrics. A subjective listening test shows, furthermore, that the output of the proposed method is perceptually almost identical to the output of the basic rendering model. The technique is part of the Reference Model architecture of the upcoming MPEG-I Immersive Audio standard.

MPEG Standards for Compressed Representation of Immersive Audio
Proceedings of the IEEE, 109: 1578–1589, 2021. DOI@article{faucris.264069480, abstract = {The term "immersive audio" is frequently used to describe an audio experience that provides the listener the sensation of being fully immersed or "present" in a sound scene. This can be achieved via different presentation modes, such as surround sound (several loudspeakers horizontally arranged around the listener), 3D audio (with loudspeakers at, above, and below listener ear level), and binaural audio to headphones. This article provides an overview of two recent standards that support the bitrate-efficient carriage of high-quality immersive sound. The first is MPEG-H 3D audio, which is a versatile standard that supports multiple immersive sound signal formats (channels, objects, and higher order ambisonics) and is now being adopted in broadcast and streaming applications. The second is MPEG-I immersive audio, an extension of 3D audio, currently under development, which is targeted for virtual and augmented reality applications. This will support rendering of fully user-interactive immersive sound for three degrees of user movement [three degrees of freedom (3DoF)], i.e., yaw, pitch, and roll head movement, and for six degrees of user movement [six degrees of freedom (6DoF)], i.e., 3DoF plus translational x, y, and z user position movements.}, author = {Quackenbush, Schuyler R. and Herre, Jürgen}, doi = {10.1109/JPROC.2021.3075390}, faupublication = {yes}, journal = {Proceedings of the IEEE}, note = {herre{\_}books{\_}journals}, pages = {1578-1589}, peerreviewed = {Yes}, title = {{MPEG} {Standards} for {Compressed} {Representation} of {Immersive} {Audio}}, url = {https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9444109}, volume = {109}, year = {2021} } - Torcoli, Matteo, Kastner, Thorsten, and Herre, Jürgen
Objective Measures of Perceptual Audio Quality Reviewed: An Evaluation of Their Application Domain Dependence
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing, 28: 1530–1541, 2021. DOI@article{faucris.258802810, abstract = {Over the past few decades, computational methods have been developed to estimate perceptual audio quality. These methods, also referred to as objective quality measures, are usually developed and intended for a specific application domain. Because of their convenience, they are often used outside their original intended domain, even if it is unclear whether they provide reliable quality estimates in this case. This work studies the correlation of well-known state-of-the-art objective measures with human perceptual scores in two different domains: audio coding and source separation. The following objective measures are considered: fwSNRseg, dLLR, PESQ, PEAQ, POLQA, PEMO-Q, ViSQOLAudio, (SI-)BSSEval, PEASS, LKR-PI, 2f-model, and HAAQI. Additionally, a novel measure (SI-SA2f) is presented, based on the 2f-model and a BSSEval-based signal decomposition. We use perceptual scores from 7 listening tests about audio coding and 7 listening tests about source separation as ground-truth data for the correlation analysis. The results show that one method (2f-model) performs significantly better than the others on both domains and indicate that the dataset for training the method and a robust underlying auditory model are crucial factors towards a universal, domain-independent objective measure.}, author = {Torcoli, Matteo and Kastner, Thorsten and Herre, Jürgen}, doi = {10.1109/TASLP.2021.3069302}, faupublication = {yes}, journal = {IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing}, keywords = {Artifacts; audio coding; audio quality; BAQ; domain-independence; generalization; objective audio quality; objective measures; quality assessment; review and evaluation; source separation; state of the art; transferability}, note = {herre{\_}books{\_}journals}, pages = {1530-1541}, peerreviewed = {Yes}, title = {{Objective} {Measures} of {Perceptual} {Audio} {Quality} {Reviewed}: {An} {Evaluation} of {Their} {Application} {Domain} {Dependence}}, volume = {28}, year = {2021} } - Paulus, Jouni, Torcoli, Matted, Uhle, Christian, Herre, Jürgen, Disch, Sascha, and Fuchs, Harald

The Adjustment/Satisfaction Test (A/ST) for the Evaluation of Personalization in Broadcast Services and its Application to Dialogue Enhancement
IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting, 64: 1–15, 2018.

Two configurations of this test paradigm are implemented and compared for the evaluation of Dialogue Enhancement (DE). This is an advanced broadcast service which enables the personalization of the relative level of the dialog and the background sounds. The test configuration closer to the final application is found to provide less noisy data and to be more conclusive about the quality of experience. For this configuration, DE is tested both in the case in which the original audio objects are readily available and in the case in which they are estimated by blind source separation.

webMUSHRA - A Comprehensive Framework for Web-based Listening Tests
Journal of Open Research Software, 6 (1): 8, 2018.

With the standardization of the Web Audio API, the required features became available and, therefore, also the possibility to implement a wide range of established methods as web-based listening tests. In order to simplify the implementation of MUSHRA listening tests, the development of webMUSHRA was started. By utilizing webMUSHRA, experimenters can configure web-based MUSHRA listening tests without the need of web programming expertise. Today, webMUSHRA supports many more listening test methods, such as ITU-R BS.1116 and forced-choice procedures.

Evaluation of Spatial/3D Audio: Basic Audio Quality Versus Quality of Experience
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing, 11: 75–88, 2017. DOI@article{faucris.289414406, abstract = {During the past decades, spatial reproduction of audio signals has evolved from simple two-channel stereo to surround sound (e.g., 5.1 or 7.1) and, more recently, to three-dimensional (3D) sound including height speakers, such as 9.1 or 22.2. With increasing number of speakers, increasing spatial fidelity and listener envelopment are expected. This paper reviews popular methods for subjective assessment of audio. Moreover, it provides an experimental evaluation of the subjective quality provided by these formats, contrasting the well-known basic audio quality (BAQ) type of evaluation with the more recent evaluation of overall listening experience (OLE). Commonalities and differences in findings between both assessment approaches are discussed. The results of the evaluation indicate that 3D audio enhances BAQ as well as OLE over both stereo and surround sound.

On Similarity and Density of Applause Sounds
Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 65: 897–913, 2017. DOI@article{faucris.289413899, abstract = {Applause is the result of people showing their appreciation after a performance by clapping their hands. Applause ranges from very sparse sounds with well-distinguishable individual claps for small crowds to extremely dense and almost noise-like sounds for very large crowds. While commonly used perceptual attributes like loudness, pitch, and timbre seem insufficient to characterize different types of applause, "density" was recently introduced and found to be an important perceptual attribute for characterizing applause sounds. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of applause perception regarding density. In particular, in a first experiment perceived applause density was evaluated and its dependency on spectral equalization was assessed. Then, the contribution of perceived density on the perceived similarity of different applause sounds was investigated in a second experiment. Statistical analyses of the experimental data suggest that spectral equalization has no statistically significant effect on density and only a small but significant effect on similarity perception. A linear mixed effects model fitted to the experimental data revealed that perceived density differences as well as spectral equalization significantly predict applause similarity, whereby density differences were found to be the dominating factor. This confirms that perceived density is indeed a key feature for characterization of applause sounds.}, author = {Adami, Alexander and Taghipour, Armin and Herre, Jürgen}, doi = {10.17743/jaes.2017.0034}, faupublication = {yes}, journal = {Journal of the Audio Engineering Society}, note = {herre{\_}books{\_}journals}, pages = {897-913}, peerreviewed = {Yes}, title = {{On} {Similarity} and {Density} of {Applause} {Sounds}}, volume = {65}, year = {2017} } - Schoeffler, Michael and Herre, Jürgen
The relationship between basic audio quality and overall listening experience
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 140: 2101–2112, 2016. DOI@article{faucris.289415387, abstract = {Basic audio quality (BAQ) is a well-known perceptual attribute, which is rated in various listening test methods to measure the performance of audio systems. Unfortunately, when it comes to purchasing audio systems, BAQ might not have a significant influence on the customers' buying decisions since other factors, like brand loyalty, might be more important. In contrast to BAQ, overall listening experience (OLE) is an affective attribute which incorporates all aspects that are important to an individual assessor, including his or her preference for music genre and audio quality. In this work, the relationship between BAQ and OLE is investigated in more detail. To this end, an experiment was carried out, in which participants rated the BAQ and the OLE of music excerpts with different timbral and spatial degradations. In a between-group-design procedure, participants were assigned into two groups, in each of which a different set of stimuli was rated. The results indicate that rating of both attributes, BAQ and OLE, leads to similar rankings, even if a different set of stimuli is rated. In contrast to the BAQ ratings, which were more influenced by timbral than spatial degradations, the OLE ratings were almost equally influenced by timbral and spatial degradations.}, author = {Schoeffler, Michael and Herre, Jürgen}, doi = {10.1121/1.4963078}, faupublication = {yes}, journal = {Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, note = {herre{\_}books{\_}journals}, pages = {2101-2112}, peerreviewed = {Yes}, title = {{The} relationship between basic audio quality and overall listening experience}, volume = {140}, year = {2016} } - Herre, Jürgen, Hilpert, Johannes, Kuntz, Achim, and Plogsties, Jan

Especially at low bit rates, coding (and the associated coding noise) leads to smeared transients and a perceived increase in noise-like signal character. We propose a post-processing technique for coded/decoded applause-like signals which is based on a signal decomposition into foreground (transient) clap events and a more noise-like background part. The proposed method aims at restoring the transient-To-noise ratio of the decoded signal using a static frequency-dependent restoration profile.

Applause signals can be very different in character, depending on the audience size, location, event type, and many other factors. To characterize different types of applause signals, the attribute of 'density' appears to be suitable. This paper reports first investigations whether density is an adequate perceptual attribute to describe different types of applause. We describe the design of a listening test assessing density and the synthesis of suitable, strictly controlled stimuli for the test. Finally, we provide results, both on strictly controlled and on naturally recorded stimuli, that confirm the suitability of the attribute density to describe important aspects of the perception of different applause signal characteristics.}, author = {Adami, Alexander and Disch, Sascha and Steba, Garri and Herre, Jürgen}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the International Conference on Digital Audio Effects, DAFx}, date = {2016-09-05/2016-09-09}, faupublication = {yes}, note = {herre{\_}papers{\_}applause}, pages = {183-189}, peerreviewed = {unknown}, title = {{Assessing} {Applause} {Density} {Perception} {Using} {Synthesized} {Layered} {Applause} {Signals}}, venue = {Brno, CZE}, year = {2016} }

Investigations on the Influence of Combined Inter-Aural Cue Distortions in Overall Audio Quality
In DAGA 2019 - 45. Jahrestagung für Akustik: 907–910, 2019.@inproceedings{faucris.243628150, abstract = {There is a considerable interest in developing algorithms that can predict audio quality of perceptually coded signals to avoid the cost of extensive listening tests during development time. While many established algorithms for predicting the perceived quality of signals with monaural (timbral) distortions are available (PEAQ, POLQA), predicting the quality degradation of stereo and multi-channel spatial signals is still considered a challenge. Audio quality degradation arising from spatial distortions is usually measured in terms of well known inter-aural cue distortion measures such as Inter-aural Level Difference Distortions (ILDD), Inter-aural Time Difference Distortions (ITDD) and Inter-aural Cross Correlation Distortions (IACCD). However, the extent to which their interaction influences the overall audio quality degradation in complex signals as expressed - for example - in a multiple stimuli test is not yet thoroughly studied.

Can we still use PEAQ? A Performance Analysis of the ITU Standard for the Objective Assessment of Perceived Audio Quality
In Twelfth International Conference on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX), 2020. DOI@inproceedings{faucris.243625659, abstract = {The Perceptual Evaluation of Audio Quality (PEAQ) method as described in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recommendation ITU-R BS.1387 has been widely used for computationally estimating the quality of perceptually coded audio signals without the need for extensive subjective listening tests. However, many reports have highlighted clear limitations of the scheme after the end of its standardization, particularly involving signals coded with newer technologies such as bandwidth extension or parametric multi-channel coding. Until now, no other method for measuring the quality of both speech and audio signals has been standardized by the ITU. Therefore, a further investigation of the causes for these limitations would be beneficial to a possible update of said scheme. Our experimental results indicate that the performance of PEAQ’s model of disturbance loudness is still as good as (and sometimes superior to) other state-of-the-art objective measures, albeit with varying performance depending on the type of degraded signal content (i.e. speech or music). This finding evidences the need for an improved cognitive model. In addition, results indicate that an updated mapping of Model Output Values (MOVs) to PEAQ’s Distortion Index (DI) based on newer training data can greatly improve performance.

We propose an energy aware model of ILDD perception that contemplates a dependency of energy content in different spectral regions of the involved signal. Model parameters are ?tted to subjective results obtained from listening test data over a synthetically generated audio database with arbitrarily induced ILDD at different intensities, frequency regions and energy levels. Finally, we compare the performance of our proposed model over two extensive databases of real coded signals along with two state-of-the-art ILDD model}, author = {Delgado, Pablo and Herre, Jürgen and Taghipour, Armin and Schinkel-Bielefeld, Nadja}, booktitle = {2018 AES International Conference on Spatial Reproduction - Aesthetics and Science}, date = {2018-08-07/2018-08-09}, faupublication = {yes}, keywords = {Perception of Spatial Reproduction; Automated Evaluation of Audio Quality; Psychoacoustics; Inter aural level difference distortions; Energy aware; MUSHRA; Automated quality evaluation}, note = {herre{\_}papers{\_}perceptual{\_}measurement}, pages = {Paper Number: P4-1}, peerreviewed = {unknown}, title = {{Energy} {Aware} {Modeling} of {Interchannel} {Level} {Difference} {Distortion} {Impact} on {Spatial} {Audio} {Perception}}, url = {https://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=19634}, venue = {Tokyo}, year = {2018} } - Keyhl, M, Schmidmer, C, Herre, Jürgen, and Hilpert, Johannes

The close approximation of the MDCT also allows to build a perceptual coding scheme based on the IntMDCT. In this paper a bitsliced arithmetic coding technique is applied to the IntMDCT values. Together with the encoded shape of the masking threshold a perceptually hierarchical bitstream is obtained, containing several stages of perceptual quality and extending to lossless operation when transmitted completely. A concept of encoding subslices is presented in order to obtain a fine adaptation to the masking threshold especially in the range of perceptually transparent quality.}, address = {Hong Kong}, author = {Geiger, Ralf and Herre, Jürgen and Schuller, G. and Brandenburg, Karlheinz}, booktitle = {IEEE ICASSP}, faupublication = {no}, note = {herre{\_}papers{\_}perceptual{\_}audio{\_}coding}, pages = {445-448}, peerreviewed = {unknown}, publisher = {IEEE}, title = {{Fine} {Grain} {Scalable} {Perceptual} and {Lossless} {Audio} {Coding} based on {intMDCT}}, venue = {Hong Kong}, volume = {5}, year = {2003} } - Geiger, Ralf, Schuller, Gerald, Herre, Jürgen, Sperschneider, Ralph, and Sporer, Thomas

This paper explores how the magnitude of spectral differences between HRTF affects the availability of spectral cues to perceive and detect different elevations and hence limits localization accuracy. A method to predict localization accuracy is presented, based on analysis of the gradient of HRTF log-spectral differences for elevation positional changes. To this end, the localization accuracy is estimated from an HRTF database with 45 subjects.

A basic approach to the problem is developed and subsequently extended by considering the impact of the reverberation time on the prediction result. This leads to a linear regression model with two input variables which is able to predict the perceived level with high accuracy, as shown on experimental data derived from listening tests. Variations of this model with different degrees of sophistication and computational complexity are compared regarding their accuracy.

While several of these methods provide enough decorrelation to achieve proper AEC convergence in the stereo case, considerations of subjective sound quality have frequently not been addressed adequately.

New High Data Rate Audio Watermarking Based on SCS (Scaler Costa Scheme)
In 113th AES Convention, 2002.@inproceedings{faucris.305593962, abstract = {Nowadays, distribution of audio material is not limited to physical media anymore. Instead, distribution via Internet is of increasing importance. In order to attach additional information to the audio content, either for forensic or digital rights management purposes or for annotation purposes, watermarking is a promising technique since it is independent of the audio format and transmission technology. State-of-the-art spread spectrum watermarking systems can offer high robustness against unintentional and intentional signal modifications. However, their data rate is typically comparatively low, often below 100 bit/s. This paper describes the adaptation of a new watermarking scheme called Scalar Costa Scheme (SCS), which is based on dithered quantization of audio signals. In order to fulfill the demands of high quality audio signal processing, modifications of the basic SCS scheme, such as the introduction of a psychoacoustic model and new algorithms to determine quantization intervals are required. Simulation figures and results of a sample implementation, which show the potential of this new watermarking scheme, are presented in this paper along with a short theoretical introduction to the SCS watermarking scheme.

A Compatible Family of Bitstream Watermarking Schemes for MPEG-Audio
In 110th AES Convention, 2001.@inproceedings{faucris.305595434, abstract = {Audio watermarking enables the robust and imperceptible transmission of data within audio signals. Among the many possible applications of this technique, a number of scenarios require direct embedding of watermarks into a compressed signal representation. Such bitstream watermarking systems enable e.g. on-the-fly embedding of transaction specific data at the time of content delivery via the Internet. This paper extends previous work on bitstream watermarking for MPEG-2/4 Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) towards a compatible family of watermarking schemes for MPEG-1/2 Layer-3 (MP3), MPEG-2/4 AAC and uncompressed audio. Regardless of the format used during data embedding, the same watermark extractor can be employed to recover the embedded message. Both the underlying concepts and relevant experimental results for these schemes are described.

New Results on Combined Audio Compression/Watermarking
In 111th AES Convention, 2001.@inproceedings{faucris.305594567, abstract = {Today, music distribution over the Internet is an increasingly important business. In this context, watermarking can provide beneficial means to transmit rights information within the content. To convey the origin of such content, the combination of simultaneous low bit rate encoding and watermark embedding is a promising novel technique. This paper describes the basic concept of combined compression/watermarking for audio signals. In contrast to separate steps of encoding and watermarking the combined approach enables an optimal coordination between the quantization strategy in the audio encoder and the watermark embedding process. This allows to adjust the system to specific needs in terms of audio quality and watermark robustness. Experimental results obtained from an extended MPEG-2/4 AAC encoder and a first implementation of an extended MPEG-1/2 Layer-3 encoder confirm the potential of the concept.
