Abstract
Embodiments relate to, for a scene comprising a representation of at least one object and at least one sound source: obtaining a decomposition of the at least one object, the decomposition comprising at least one geometric component; modelling at least one interaction of the at least one object and the at least one sound source using the at least one geometric component; and, in dependence on the modelling of the at least one interaction, processing an audio input associated with the at least one sound source to obtain an audio output.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining a decomposition of an object in a scene, the decomposed object comprising one or more geometric components;
- modelling, using the geometric components, a reflection effect of the object on a sound source in the scene by determining a reflection coefficient for the sound source, the reflection coefficient representing a degree of reflection of the sound source against the object;
- and
- processing, based on the modelling of the reflection effect, an audio input associated with the sound source to obtain an audio output.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer program instructions executable by a processor to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining a decomposition of an object in a scene, the decomposed object comprising one or more geometric components;
- modelling, using the geometric components, a reflection effect of the object on a sound source in the scene by determining a reflection coefficient for the sound source, the reflection coefficient representing a degree of reflection of the sound source against the object and towards a listener position;
- and
- processing, based on the modelling of the reflection effect, an audio input associated with the sound source to obtain an audio output.
