Simultaneous Measurement of Multiple Acoustic Attributes Using Structured Periodic Test Signals Including Music and Other Sound Materials (2309.02767v1)

Abstract: We introduce a general framework for measuring acoustic properties such as liner time-invariant (LTI) response, signal-dependent time-invariant (SDTI) component, and random and time-varying (RTV) component simultaneously using structured periodic test signals. The framework also enables music pieces and other sound materials as test signals by "safeguarding" them by adding slight deterministic "noise." Measurement using swept-sin, MLS (Maxim Length Sequence), and their variants are special cases of the proposed framework. We implemented interactive and real-time measuring tools based on this framework and made them open-source. Furthermore, we applied this framework to assess pitch extractors objectively.
