Indoor Room Reverberation Model Implemented with IMAGE Method

Resource Overview

MATLAB source code for indoor room reverberation modeling based on the IMAGE method algorithm

Detailed Documentation

This MATLAB source code implements an indoor room reverberation model using the IMAGE method algorithm to simulate sound reflection, absorption, and propagation effects. The implementation specifically models how sound waves interact with room boundaries of different sizes, shapes, and material properties. Key functions include calculating reflection paths using the mirror image method, modeling frequency-dependent absorption coefficients for various materials, and simulating sound decay characteristics. Through this model, researchers can analyze sound behavior in enclosed spaces, enabling precise acoustic studies and experiments. These simulations are crucial for developing and optimizing applications in music production, speech processing, and various audio technologies, providing insights into room acoustics without requiring physical measurements.
