Introduction

SynIR dataset is a large set of synthetic impulse responses (IR), generated using geometric sound propagation in various room environment. We use 3D house models from the SUNCG dataset. As in the following image, several collision-free far-field sound source-listener pairs (shown as floating colored spheres) are sampled in each one-story house, and each pair's corresponding IR up to 8kHz is computed using geometric propagation.

This dataset is under heavy development, so please stay tuned.
