Abstract

Acoustic impulse response shaping is a prefiltering technique to reduce the perceptible effects of room reverberation. The room impulse responses to be shaped must first be measured, and these measurements can contain errors. Furthermore, room responses vary with changes in temperature and humidity and also with changes in measurement position. This letter presents a method for enhancing the robustness of the shaping procedure so that the effects of these errors and changes are minimized. The method uses a stochastic model of the channel variations to explicitly limit the probability of large deviations from the desired performance. The method is evaluated on realistic channel perturbations and the resulting shaped responses are shown to comply with the robustness specification.
