Waveguide mesh models that simulate airborne acoustics require extra non-physical rules to accurately represent acoustic propagation collisions with objects. In this paper we describe a physicsbased cellula automata of fluid flow phenomena which simulates acoustic as a by-product, in which such rules are unnecessary. We evaluate our simulation with respect to sound speed and boundary interactio...

The concept of using visual information as part of audio speech processing has been of significant recent interest. This paper presents a data driven approach that considers estimating audio speech acoustics using only temporal visual information without considering linguistic features such as phonemes and visemes. Audio (log filterbank) and visual (2D-DCT) features are extracted, and various c...

This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the relation between speech acoustics and the 2D video signal of the facial motion that occurs simultaneously. 2D facial motion is acquired using an ordinary video camera: after digitizing a video sequence, a search algorithm is used for tracking markers painted on the speaker’s face. Facial motion is represented by the 2D marker trajectories; wher...

MUSC 113. Live Audio Engineering. 3 Credits. This course covers fundamentals of live audio engineering, rudimentary acoustics, auditory perception and psychoacoustical concepts. Students will learn to assemble sound reinforcement systems for small and large ensembles and examine how sound is perceived by the human ear. Topics such as signal flow, cabling, mixing, busing and monitoring will be a...

In this paper we present a method to search for environmental sounds in large unstructured databases of user-submitted audio, using a general sound events taxonomy from ecological acoustics. We discuss the use of Support Vector Machines to classify sound recordings according to the taxonomy and describe two use cases for the obtained classificationmodels: a content-based web search interface fo...
