Mixer conv sofa to rom table or binary files converter program
------------------------------
The sofa to rom format or binary files converter is used to generate the c files (*.h,*.c) or binary files containing the binary representation of the binaural
filters for renderer MIXER_CONV and MIXER_CONV_ROOM
First, build the converter under scripts/binauralRenderer_interface in VSCode (using CMakeList) or using the following command lines :
- mkdir build
- cd build
- cmake ..
- cmake --build . (option --config=release)
- cd ..
- Test :
- run py run.py (require matplotlib) -> no error and a figure with impulse response shall appear
Requirements:
------------
- Python version 3.9.* with pip
- numpy (pip install numpy)
- netCDF4 (pip install netCDF4)
- SofaReader.py file must be in the same folder as the executable generate_crend_ivas_tables
Usage:
------
generate_crend_ivas_tables [Options]
Mandatory parameters :
- Frame size in ms (5 or 20)
- list of sofa files at least one. For rom files generation it is needed :
- one with HRIR with directions of IVAS combined speakers configuration or more
- one with FOA to binaural filters, can be obtain from HRIR using ./matlab_hrir_generation_scripts/convert_SD2SHD_HRIRs.m matlab script
- one with HOA order 2 to binaural filters, can be obtain from HRIR using ./matlab_hrir_generation_scripts/convert_SD2SHD_HRIRs.m matlab script
- one with HOA order 3 to binaural filters, can be obtain from HRIR using ./matlab_hrir_generation_scripts/convert_SD2SHD_HRIRs.m matlab script
- one with BRIR filters that directions of IVAS combined speakers configuration or more
Options :
-lib_rend_path : path where header and c files will be created (if missing rom files not generated).
-binary_files_path : path where binary files will be created (if missing binary files not generated)\n
-binary_common_file_name : common name for binary files that will be created (crend_hrir-53_brir-Fhg for example
-compute_reverb_rom sofa_file_path : if present reverb rom tables and binary files are computed using sofa_file_path as input HRIRs
-brir_optim_config_path config_file_path : if present brir optimisation process uses parameters stored in config_file_path
Configuration example files are provided in folder :
-brir_no_optim.cfg : for exact convolution of the BRIR by IVAS decoder or renderer
-brir_default_optim.cfg : default values BRIR optimisation used by IVAS decoder or renderer
-brir_low_complexity_optim.cfg : values for BRIR optimisation reducing IVAS decoder or renderer complexity
