Changelog

All notable changes to pyroomacoustics will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

Added

  • New implementation of fast RIR builder function in the libroom C++ extentsion to replace the current cython code. Advantages are: 1) only one compiled extension, 2) multithreading support
  • New global parameter sinc_lut_granularity that controls the number of points used in the look-up table for the sinc interpolation. Accessible via parameters.constants.get.
  • New global parameter num_threads that controls the number of threads used in multi-threaded code (rir builder only at the moment). The number of threads can also be controlled via the environement variable PRA_NUM_THREADS

Changed

  • Removed the broken get_rir method of the class SoundSource

Bugfix

  • Fixes a bug when using randomized image source model with a 2D room (#315) by @hrosseel

0.7.3 - 2022-12-05

Bugfix

  • Fixes issue #293 due to the C++ method Room::next_wall_hit not handling 2D shoebox rooms, which cause a seg fault

0.7.2 - 2022-11-15

Added

  • Appveyor builds for compiled wheels for win32/win64 x86

Bugfix

  • Fixes missing import statement in room.plot for 3D rooms (PR #286)
  • On win64, bss.fastmnmf would fail due to some singular matrix. 1) protect solve with try/except and switch to pseudo-inverse if necessary, 2) change eps 1e-7 -> 1e-6

0.7.1 - 2022-11-11

Bugfix

  • Fixed pypi upload for windows wheels

0.7.0 - 2022-11-10

Added

  • Added the AnechoicRoom class.
  • Added FastMNMF2 (Fast Multichannel Nonnegative Matrix Factorization 2) to bss subpackage.
  • Randomized image source method for removing sweeping echoes in shoebox rooms.
  • Adds the cart2spher method in pyroomacoustics.doa.utils to convert from cartesian to spherical coordinates.
  • Example room_complex_wall_materials.py
  • CI for python 3.10

Changed

  • Cleans up the plot_rir function in Room so that the labels are neater. It also adds an extra option kind that can take values "ir", "tf", or "spec" to plot the impulse responses, transfer functions, or spectrograms of the RIR.
  • Refactored the implementation of FastMNMF.
  • Modified the document of __init__.py in doa subpackage.
  • End of Python 3.6 support.
  • Removed the deprecated realtime sub-module.
  • Removed the deprecated functions pyroomacoustics.transform.analysis, pyroomacoustics.transform.synthesis, pyroomacoustics.transform.compute_synthesis_window. They are replaced by the equivalent functions in pyroomacoustics.transform.stft sub-module.
  • The minimum required version of numpy was changed to 1.13.0 (use of np.linalg.multi_dot in doa sub-package see #271)

Bugfix

  • Fixed most warnings in the tests
  • Fixed bug in examples/adaptive_filter_stft_domain.py

0.6.0 - 2021-11-29

Added

  • New DOA method: MUSIC with pseudo-spectra normalization. Thanks @4bian! Normalizes MUSIC pseudo spectra before averaging across frequency axis.

Bugfix

  • Issue 235: fails when set_ray_tracing is called, but no mic_array is set
  • Issue 236: general ISM produces the wrong transmission coefficients
  • Removes an unncessery warning for some rooms when ray tracing is not needed

Misc

  • Add code linting in continuous integration
  • Drop CI support for python 3.5

0.5.0 - 2021-09-06

Added

  • Support for microphone and source directivites for image source model. Source directivities just for shoebox room. Available directivities are frequency-independent (cardioid patterns), although the infrastructure is there for frequency-dependent directivities: frequency-dependent usage in Room.compute_rir and abstract Directivity class.
  • Examples scripts and notebook for directivities.

Bugfix

  • Fix wrong bracketing for negative values in is_inside (ShoeBox)

0.4.3 - 2021-02-18

  • Change the eps for geometry computations from 1e-4 to 1e-5 in libroom

Added

  • Test for issue #162 added
  • Fix Binder link
  • Adds the pyproject.toml file in MANIFEST.in so that it gets picked up for packaging

Added

  • Minimal Dockerfile example.

0.4.0 - 2020-06-03

Improved Simulator with Ray Tracing

  • Ray Tracing in the libroom module. The function compute_rir() of the Room object in python can now be executed using a pure ray tracing approach or a hybrid (ISM + RT) approach. That's why this function has now several default arguments to run ray tracing (number of rays, scattering coefficient, energy and time thresholds, microphone's radius).
  • Bandpass filterbank construction in pyroomacoustics.acoustics.bandpass_filterbank
  • Acoustic properties of different materials in pyroomacoustics.materials
  • Scattering from the wall is handled via ray tracing method, scattering coefficients are provided in pyroomacoustics.materials.Material objects
  • Function inverse_sabine allows to compute the absorption and max_order to use with the image source model to achieve a given reverberation time
  • The method rt60_theory in pyroomacoustics.room.Room allows to compute the theoretical RT60 of the room according to Eyring or Sabine formula
  • The method measure_rt60 in pyroomacoustics.room.Room allows to measure the RT60 of the simulated RIRs

Changes in the Room Class

  • Deep refactor of Room class. The constructor arguments have changed
  • No more sigma2_awgn, noise is now handled in pyroomacoustics.Room.simulate method
  • The way absorption is handled has changed. The scalar variables absorption are deprecated in favor of pyroomacoustics.materials.Material
  • Complete refactor of libroom, the compiled extension module responsible for the room simulation, into C++. The bindings to python are now done using pybind11.
  • Removes the pure Python room simulator as it was really slow
  • pyroomacoustics.transform.analysis, pyroomacoustics.transform.synthesis, pyroomacoustics.transform.compute_synthesis_window, have been deprecated in favor of pyroomacoustics.transform.stft.analysis, pyroomacoustics.transform.stft.synthesis, pyroomacoustics.transform.stft.compute_synthesis_window.
  • pyroomacoustics.Room has a new method add that can be used to add either a SoundSource, or a MicrophoneArray object. Subsequent calls to the method will always add source/microphones. There exists also methods add_source and add_microphone that can be used to add source/microphone via coordinates. The method add_microphone_array can be used to add a MicrophoneArray object, or a 2D array containing the locations of several microphones in its columns. While the add_microphone_array method used to replace the existing array by the argument, the new behavior is to add in addition to other microphones already present.

Bugfix

  • From Issue #150, increase max iterations to check if point is inside room
