IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing Special Issue on Spatial Audio
Spatial audio is an area that has gained in popularity in the recent years. Audio reproduction setups evolved from the traditional two-channel loudspeaker setups towards multi-channel loudspeaker setups. Advances in acoustic signal processing even made it possible to create a surround sound listening experience using traditional stereo speakers and headphones. Finally, there has been an increased interest in creating different sound zones in the same acoustic space (also referred to as personal audio). At the same time, the computational capacity provided by mobile audio playback devices has increased significantly. These developments enable new possibilities for advanced audio signal processing, such that in the future we can record, transmit and reproduce spatial audio in ways that have not been possible before. In addition, there have been fundamental advances in our understanding of 3D audio. Due to the increasing number of different formats and reproduction systems for spatial audio, ranging from headphones to 22.2 speaker systems, it is major challenge to ensure interoperability between formats and systems, and consistent delivery of high-quality spatial audio. Therefore, the MPEG committee is in the process of establishing new standards for 3D Audio Content Delivery. The scope of this Special Issue on Spatial Audio is open to contributions ranging from the measurement and modeling of an acoustic space to reproduction and perception of spatial audio. While individual submissions may focus on any of the sub-topics listed below, papers describing a larger spatial audio signal processing systems will be considered as well. We invite authors to address some of the following spatial audio aspects:
