WELCOME to the dECHORATE dataset

dECHORATE: A calibrated dataset for echo-aware audio signal processing

The dEchorate dataset is a new database of measured multichannel Room Impulse Responses (RIRs) including annotations of early echo timings and 3D positions of microphones, real sources and image sourcesunder different wall configurations in a cuboid room.
These data provide a tool for benchmarking recentmethods inecho-awarespeech enhancement, room geometry estimation, RIR estimation, acoustic echoretrieval, microphone calibration, echo labeling and reflectors estimation.
The database is accompanied withsoftware utilities to easily access, manipulate and visualize the data as well as baseline methods forecho-related tasks.

Keywords: Echo-aware signal processing; Acoustic echoes; Room impulse response; Audio database; AcousticEcho Retrieval; Spatial Filtering; Room Geometry Estimation; Microphone arrays.

Description and Download

DATA TEMPORALLY MOVED HERE

dEchorate has three main elements:

• the data on Zenodo
  • dataset in HDF5 format with python script;
  • dataset in SOFA format;
• the code for working with dEchorate is available in this repo;
• the code for reproducing the paper is available in this repo.

News:

• 2023 Jan 26: v3.0.0 polished and refactored dateset
• 2022 May 25: v2.0.0 new dEchorate dataset
• 2020 May 03: v0.0.1 dEchorate project is alive
