Abstract

Wave Field Synthesis enables the reproduction of complex auditory scenes and

moving sound sources.

Moving sound sources induce time-variant delay of source signals. To avoid severe distortions,

sophisticated delay interpolation techniques must be applied. The typically large numbers of

both virtual sources and loudspeakers in a WFS system result in a very high number of simultaneous

delay operations, thus being a most performance-critical aspect in a WFS rendering system.

In this article, we investigate suitable delay interpolation algorithms for WFS.

To overcome the prohibitive computational cost induced by high-quality algorithms, we propose a

computational structure that achieves a significant complexity reduction through a novel algorithm partitioning and efficient data reuse.
