LAP Challenge Workshop – EUSIPCO 2024

It was exciting to be at EUSIPCO 2024 to help chair the Listener Acoustic Personalisation Challenge workshop, where we heard some great talks from the winners of the LAP challenge. A massive thank you to all those involved!

Visiting the IoSR at the University of Surrey

It was great to be able to visit the IoSR at the University of Surrey yesterday to discuss collaboration opportunities with C4DM and the AXD group at Imperial. Thank you for hosting us, Enzo De Sena. Looking forward to hopefully working together on something soon.

Kubb Legends

What a great way to spend an afternoon playing Kubb (Scandinavian Skittles). Bring on the next AXD, SAP and C4DM social. QMUL and Imperial represent.

Paper at DAFx 2024

It is great to have our work accepted for the DAFx24, the 27th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects, to be held at the University of Surrey, UK, in September 2024. X. Hu, J. Li, L. Picinali and A. Hogg: HRTF spatial upsampling in the spherical harmonics domain employing a generative adversarial network. In: Proc. […]

UKAN 2nd SIG-SAIA Meetup!

It was great fun organising the 2nd UKAN SIG-SAIA meetup hosted by C4DM, QMUL. It was nice to see so many fruitful discussions on the future of immersive audio. Also, in the afternoon, what an epic tour of the Royal Opera House. Thank you so much, Mark, for showing us around. See more details here: […]

Listener Acoustic Personalisation (LAP24) Challenge

Introducing the Listener Acoustic Personalisation Challenge! We’re inviting everyone in the auditory research community to help us tackle key challenges facing immersive audio technology – namely HRTF normalisation across datasets and HRTF upsampling. More information about how to sign up can be found here: sonicom.eu/lap-challenge

Our paper on GAN HRTF upsampling has now been published!

Our new paper on the use of generative adversarial networks (GANs) to upsample low-res HRTFs to high-res is now available on IEEE Xplore! Read here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10465588 A. Hogg, M. Jenkins, H. Liu, I. Squires, S. Cooper and L. Picinali: HRTF upsampling with a generative adversarial network using a gnomonic equiangular projection. In: Proc. IEEE/ACM Transactions […]
