  2. Outline • Introduction • 3-D Digital Waveguide Mesh • Interpolated 3-D Digital Waveguide Mesh • Optimization of Interpolation Coefficients • Frequency Warping • Simulation Example of A Cube • Conclusions Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  3. Introduction • Digital waveguides are useful in physical modeling of musical instruments and other acoustic systems [8] • 2-D digital waveguide mesh (WGM) for simulation of membranes, drums etc. [2] • 3-D digital waveguide mesh for simulation of acoustic spaces [3] • Numerous potential applications: Acoustic design of concert halls, churches, auditoria, listening rooms, movie theaters, cabins of vehicles, or loudspeaker enclosures Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  4. Former Methods • Ray-tracing • A statistical method • Inaccurate at low frequencies Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  5. Former Methods (2) • Image-source method • Based on mirror images of the sound source(s) • Accurate modeling of low-order reflections • Inaccurate at low frequencies Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  6. New Method • Digital waveguide mesh • Finite-difference method • Sound propagates through the network from node to node • Wide frequency range of good accuracy • Requires much memory Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  7. Sophisticated Waveguide Mesh Structures • In the original WGM, wave propagation speed depends on direction and frequency [3] • Rectangular mesh • More advanced structures improve this problem, e.g., • Triangular and tetrahedral WGMs [3], [7], (Fontana & Rocchesso, 1995, 1998) • Interpolated WGM [5], [6] • Direction-dependence is reduced but frequency-dependence remains ÞDispersion ! Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  8. Interpolated 2-D Waveguide Mesh Hypothetical 8-directional 2-D WGM Interpolated 2-D WGM [5], [6] Original 2-D WGM [2] Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  9. Wave Propagation Speed Interpolated 2-D WGM (bilinear interpolation) Original 2-D WGM 0.2 0.2 0.1 0.1 c c 0 2 0 2 x x -0.1 -0.1 -0.2 -0.2 -0.2 0 0.2 -0.2 0 0.2 c x c x 1 1 Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  10. c 2 x c x 1 Wave Propagation Speed (2) Interpolated 2-D WGM (Optimal interpolation [6]) Original 2-D WGM 0.2 0.1 0 -0.1 -0.2 -0.2 0 0.2 Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  11. Original 3-D Digital Waveguide Mesh • Difference equation for pressure at each node p(n+1, x, y, z) = (1/3) [p(n, x + 1, y, z) + p(n, x – 1, y, z) + p(n, x, y + 1, z) + p(n, x, y – 1, z) + p(n, x, y, z + 1) + p(n, x, y, z – 1)] – p(n–1, x, y, z) where p(n, x, y, z) is the sound pressure at time step n at position (x, y, z) Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  12. Interpolated 3-D Digital Waveguide Mesh • Difference scheme for the interpolated 3-D WGM where coefficients h are Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  13. Interpolated 3-D Digital Waveguide Mesh (2) 2D-diagonal neighbors Original WGM All neighbors in interpolated WGM 3D-diagonal neighbors Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  14. Optimization of Coefficients • Two constraints must be satisfied: 1) 2) Wave travel speed at dc (0 Hz) must be unity • From the first constraint, we may solve 1 coefficient: • Another coefficient can be solved using the 2), for example: Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  15. Optimization of Coefficients (2) • The remaining 2 coefficients can be optimized • We searched for a solution where the difference between the min and max error curves is minimized: ha = 0.124867 h2D = 0.0387600 h3D = 0.0133567 hc = 0.678827 Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  16. Relative Frequency Error (RFE) (a) Original WGM (b) Interpolated WGM Line types Axial — blue 2D-diagonal — cyan 3D-diagonal — red Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  17. Frequency Warping • Dispersion error of the interpolated WGM can be reduced by frequency warping [11] because • Difference between the max and min errors is small • RFE curve is smooth • Postprocessing of the response of the WGM • 3 different approaches: 1) Time-domain warping using a warped-FIR filter [6], [12] 2) Time-domain multiwarping 3) Frequency warping in the frequency domain Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  18. A(z) A(z) A(z) Frequency Warping: Warped-FIR Filter • Chain of first-order allpass filters d(n) s(0) s(1) s(2) s(L-1) sw(n) • s(n) is the signal to be warped • sw(n) is the warped signal • The extent of warping is determined by l Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  19. Frequency Warping: Resampling • Every time-domain frequency-warping operation must be accompanied by a sampling rate conversion • All frequencies are shifted by warping, including those that should not • Resampling factor: (Phase delay of the allpass filter at the zero frequency) • With optimal warping and resampling, the maximal RFE is reduced to 3.8% Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  20. Multiwarping • How to add degrees of freedom to the time-domain frequency-warping to improve the accuracy? • Frequency-warping and sampling-rate-conversion operations can be cascaded • Many parameters to optimize: l1, l2, ... D1, D2,... • We call this multiwarping [12], [13] • Maximal RFE is reduced to 2.0% Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  21. Frequency Warping in the Frequency Domain • Non-uniform resampling of the Fourier transform [14], [15] • Postprocessing of the output signal of the mesh in the frequency domain • Warping function can be the average of the RFEs in 3 different directions • Maximal RFE is reduced to 0.78% Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  22. Improvement of Accuracy Three versions of frequency warping applied to the optimally interpolated WGM (a) Single warping (b) Multiwarping (c) Warping in the frequency domain Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  23. Simulation of a Cubic Space Frequency response of a cubic space simulated using the interpolated WGM (a) Original WGM (b) Interpolated & Multiwarped (c) Interpolated & warped in the frequency domain (red line—analytical) Savioja and Välimäki 2001

  24. Conclusions • Optimally interpolated 3-D digital waveguide mesh • Interpolation yields nearly direction-dependent wave propagation characteristics • Based on the rectangular mesh, which is easy to use • The remaining dispersion can be reduced by using frequency warping • In the time-domain or in the frequency-domain • Future goal: simulation of acoustic spaces using the interpolated 3-D waveguide mesh Savioja and Välimäki 2001
