Novel approach to quantify and model scattering effects in room acoustics 


We’re excited to share our latest paper, “A Method for Extracting an Average Scattering Coefficient for Room Acoustic Modeling”, published in Applied Acoustics, by Dingding Xie, Wouter Wittebol, Qi Li, and Maarten Hornikx. This study introduces a novel approach to quantify and model scattering effects in room acoustics (including scattering of objects), enabling accurate and computationally efficient sound simulations.

🔍 Key Highlights:
✔️ Proposes frequency-dependent Average Scattering Coefficients (ASCs).
✔️ Uses coherence analysis of impulse responses to extract ASCs from wave-based simulations using Treble Technologies and demonstrated by measurements.
✔️ Implements a hybrid acoustic model, reducing computational costs while maintaining accuracy.
✔️ Potential applications in architectural acoustics, auralization, and Acoustic Virtual Reality (AVR).
