Design of a Configurable Acoustic Sensor Network for Privacy‐Compliant Urban Soundscape Recordings
ABSTRACT Environmental acoustics, particularly urban soundscape monitoring, has gained increasing consideration since the United Nations established the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, and to an even greater extent with the rise of privacy concerns following the introduction of global regulations such as GDPR.

Reconstruction of three‐dimensional sound field system based on machine learning method
This research enhances 3D audio system reconstruction by developing a neural network model for optimal speaker signal allocation based on actual playback environments. The proposed model, trained with TensorFlow, significantly reduces mean square error and computation time by 25.27%, thereby improving computational efficiency and error performance in ...
