Title
SPATIO-TEMPORAL SAMPLING AND DISTRIBUTED COMPRESSION OF THE SOUND FIELD
Abstract
We investigate how the sound field induced by an acoustic event evolves over space and time. The characteristics of its bidimen- sional Fourier spectrum are analyzed and spatio-temporal sampling results using an array of microphones are provided for different scenarios of interest. We then address the distributed compression problem using an information-theoretic point of view. In this con- text, optimal rate-distortion tradeoffs are derived for two scenarios of interest. A linear network setup is first considered, where a cen- tral base station aims at recovering with minimum distortion the signals recorded by an infinite line of microphones. A hearing aid problem is then studied, where two hearing devices exchange data over a rate-constrained wireless link in order to provide spatial noise reduction.
