The project aims to research the spatial domain of sound—an area that remains largely overlooked in current practice. The core objective is to develop an algorithm and a microphone antenna capable of assigning a direction of immission to each frequency, effectively adding a fourth dimension—direction—alongside amplitude, frequency, and time in acoustic measurements.
This new approach will first be applied to environmental noise measurement and monitoring, where current methods often fail to capture the full complexity of urban noise pollution. By introducing immission directivity, we can better identify sources, improve classification, and support smarter data analysis.
If successful, this methodology could be extended beyond environmental acoustics—to other areas of sound research and even to fields involving multichannel sensor data. It opens a path toward more accurate, informative, and meaningful measurements in a range of scientific and engineering applications.
