Geometrical Acoustics

The open-source collection for the simulation of outdoor sound propagation using the principle of geometrical acoustics


Models

The following models were developed at the Institute for Hearing Technology and Acoustics (IHTA) at RWTH Aachen University in Germany.

Atmospheric sound propagation

Aircraft above IHTA with sound paths

Atmospheric Ray Tracing

Urban sound propagation

Urban scene with sound paths

Image edge model

Combined sound propagation

Aircraft above urban area with sound paths

Virtual source method


Projects

Partly based on the above models, the following projects were developed.

PIGEON

PELICAN

EGRET

DOVELET
