Acoustic Scattering Data

This repository contains synthetic acoustic scattering data for a random set of convex prism shapes represented as loudness fields in four octave bands, along with Matlab (TM) parsing and visualization sample scripts. The data was employed in the paper:

Ziqi Fan, Vibhav Vineet, Hannes Gamper, Nikunj Raghuvanshi,
Fast Acoustic Scattering using Convolutional Neural Networks,
IEEE ICASSP, 2020

Contents

For each type of dataset, there are folders for input binary image representing shape as occupancy grid and output as a four-channel image representing scattered spatial loudness maps in four octave bands, with pixels occupied by shape represented by NaN values. See the referenced paper for more details.

File/folder	Description
Train	Training data (zipped)
Val	Validation data
Test	Test data
Stretch	Generalization tests on analytic shapes
Visualization/visualizeData.m	Function illustrating parsing and visualizing the data. Takes two arguments: name of dataset and an array for indices of instances within the dataset
README.md	This README file.
CONTRIBUTING.md	Guidelines for contributing to the sample.

Prerequisites

Scripts were tested on Matlab v2017b.
