    Abstract: In an acoustic processing method, (i) sound information related to a sound including a predetermined sound and (ii) metadata including information related to a space in which the predetermined sound is reproduced are obtained; based on the sound information and the metadata, sound image localization enhancement processing of generating a first sound signal expressing a sound including a sound image localization enhancement reflected sound for localization as a sound arriving from a predetermined direction is performed; based on the sound information and the metadata, acoustic processing of generating a second sound signal expressing a sound including a sound other than a direct sound that reaches a user directly from a sound source object is performed; and an output sound signal obtained by compositing the first sound signal and the second sound signal is output.

    Abstract: An acoustic processing method includes: obtaining (i) sound information related to a sound including a predetermined sound and (ii) metadata including information related to a space in which the predetermined sound is reproduced; performing, based on the sound information and the metadata, acoustic processing of generating a sound signal expressing a sound including an early reflection that reaches a user after a direct sound that reaches the user directly from a sound source object; and outputting an output sound signal including the sound signal. The acoustic processing includes: determining parameters for generating the early reflection, the parameters including a position, in the space, of a virtual sound source object that generates the early reflection; and generating the early reflection based on the parameters determined. The parameters include at least a parameter that varies over time according to a predetermined condition.

    Abstract: A sound processing device includes: a first processing unit generating a first output sound signal by convoluting, to sound information including a reproduced sound, a first head-related transfer function for localizing sound included in information as sound that arrives from the predetermined direction; a second processing unit generating a second output sound signal by convoluting, to the sound information, a second head-related transfer function for localizing sound included in information as sound that arrives from a first direction forming a first angle larger than 0° and smaller than 360° with respect to the predetermined direction and has a first delay time larger than 0 and a first volume attenuation larger than 0 with respect to the reproduced sound perceived by means of the first output sound signal; and a combiner combining the first output sound signal and the second output sound signal generated to output an output sound signal.

    Abstract: An acoustic reproduction method includes: obtaining information indicating sounds that reach a listener in a sound reproduction space and direction information indicating a direction in which the head of the listener is oriented; judging whether a first direction in which a first sound reaches the listener and a second direction in which a second sound reaches the listener are in plane symmetry with respect to a predetermined plane that passes through both ears of the listener and is perpendicular to the direction in which the head of the listener is oriented, the first and the second sounds being included in the sounds indicated in the information obtained; performing processing on sound information indicating the second sound when the first and the second directions are judged to be in plane symmetry, the processing being change processing of changing the second direction; and outputting the sound information subjected to the change processing.

    Abstract: An information processing method includes: calculating an angular amount of change in a predetermined direction in a time domain from sound information including information regarding a predetermined sound and information regarding the predetermined direction; selecting, based on the information regarding the predetermined direction, a 3D sound filter for causing an inputted sound to be perceived as a sound coming from an incoming direction from among 3D sound filter candidates each prepared for a different incoming direction; and generating an output sound signal by inputting the information regarding the predetermined sound to the 3D sound filter selected, in which, when the angular amount of change calculated is less than a threshold, the selecting a 3D sound filter includes determining the 3D sound filter such that the predetermined sound is more strongly emphasized than when the angular amount of change calculated is greater than or equal to the threshold.

    Abstract: A sound reproduction method includes: obtaining a first audio signal indicating a first sound which arrives at a listener from a first range and a second audio signal indicating a second sound which arrives at the listener from a predetermined direction; when the first range and the predetermined direction are determined to be included in a second range which is a back range relative to a front range in the direction that the head part of the listener faces, performing a correction process on at least one of the first audio signal or the second audio signal so that intensity of the second audio signal becomes higher than intensity of the first audio signal; and performing mixing of the at least one of the first audio signal or the second audio signal, and outputting, to an output channel, the first and second audio signals.
