Abstract

A novel signal-dependent approach is followed here for modeling perceived distortions due to reverberation in audio signals. The method describes perceived monaural time-frequency and level distortions due to reverberation which depend on the reproduced signal's evolution. A Computational Auditory Masking Model (CAMM) is employed, using as inputs the reverberant and reference (anechoic) signal, generating time-frequency maps of perceived distortions. From these maps and in a number of sub-bands, suitable processing functions can be derived allowing suppression of reverberation in the processed signal.
