PAN-AR: A Multimodal Dataset of Higher-Order Ambisonics Room Impulse Responses, Ambient Noise and Spherical Pictures

PAN-AR

This is PAN-AR (Panoramas, Ambient Noise & Ambisonics RIRs), a dataset described in the following paper:

Filippo Denti, Davide Fantini, Federico Avanzini and Giorgio Presti. PAN-AR: A Multimodal Dataset of Higher-Order Ambisonics Room Impulse Responses, Ambient Noise and Spherical Pictures. In Proceedings of the 19th International Audio Mostly Conference, Milan, Italy, September 2024.

The dataset includes Spatial Room Impulse Responses (SRIRs) in second-order Ambisonics format, ambient noise recordings, and spherical photos. These data have been captured in four environments with different configurations of the source and listener positions:

Printer room

Meeting room

Classroom

Underground parking area

Panoramas and planimetries are provided in a temporary version. The final version with post-processed panoramas and complete planimetries will be available soon. An example of the final panoramas is provided for position A of the printer room, while an example of complete planimetry is provided for the printer and the meeting rooms.

SOFA

The SRIRs are also provided in SOFA format here.
