Abstract

In this paper, we develop 3D audio evaluation database (DB) for verifying performance of new developed 3D audio core algorithms such as sound source localization, artificial reverberation, source separation, and crosstalk cancellation. Our system is designed to evaluate the 3D audio core algorithms automatically. Conventional evaluation DBs have to be executed manually for evaluating audio systems because the audio sources are not indexed in general. To solve this problem, we propose the architecture of 3D audio core algorithm evaluation database using database management system (DBMS). In the experimental section, we show feasibility of our system using real 3D sound sources for sound source separation algorithm.
