Audio Source Localisation (CAE-ASL) receives Audio Objects, detects the Audio Objects in the Audio Scene, and determines and produces as output their Spatial Attitudes:

Receives Audio Objects With associated Microphone Array information.
Detects Audio Objects In the Audio Scene.
Determines Spatial Attitudes Of Audio Objects.
Produces Spatial Attitudes Of input Audio Objects.

8 Conformance Testing

The following procedure shall be followed when testing the Conformance of a CAE-ASL AIM instance.

  1. Use the following datasets:
    1. DS1: n Test files containing Audio Objects (Transform) .
    2. DS2: n Expected Spatial Attitudes.
  2. Feed the AIM under test with the Test files.
  3. Analyse the Spatial Attitudes produced by the CAE-ASL AIM instance.
  4. Calculate the angle difference (AD) in degrees between the output Spatial Attitudes with the Expected Spatial Attitudes.
