Ambiscaper: A Tool for Automatic Generation and Annotation of Reverberant Ambisonics Sound Scenes
Andrés Pérez-López · 2018
The spatial nature of Ambisonics audio recordings makes them specially interesting for source localization and source separation tasks. Although existing proposals have already shown promising results, there is a lack of annotated databases, required for algorithm design, training and evaluation in this particular scenario. In this paper we present AmbiScaper, a tool for the automatic generation and annotation of reverberant Ambisonics sound scenes, published under an Open Source license to facilitate research reproducibility. As a use case, a database of annotated audio scenes has been created and published, along with an analysis with state-of-the-art sound localization algorithms.
