This repository contains the implementation of the image source method according to [AB79, BEW18, BM09] as used in the PhD thesis "Wave Field Synthesis in a listening room" by Vera Erbes. You can use the script Test_calculate_ISM.m to try it out.
- Matlab:
This Matlab code has been tested with Matlab R2015a. - Sound Field Synthesis Toolbox:
The scripts use the Matlab version of the Sound Field Synthesis Toolbox, release 2.5.0. - Spatially Oriented Format for Acoustics (SOFA):
When simulating with a binaural receiver, you need HRTFs given in the format SOFA. To read this data, you need the SOFA API for Matlab/Octave. The code has been tested with release 1.0.4.
The Matlab code is licensed under the MIT license.
