FRA-RIR: Fast Random Approximation of the Image-source Method

8 Aug 2022arXiv:2208.04101archive 2025-07-28

Yi Luo, Jianwei Yu

The training of modern speech processing systems often requires a large amount of simulated room impulse response (RIR) data in order to allow the systems to generalize well in real-world, reverberant environments. However, simulating realistic RIR data typically requires accurate physical modeling, and the acceleration of such simulation process typically requires certain computational platforms such as a graphics processing unit (GPU). In this paper, we propose FRA-RIR, a fast random approximation method of the widely-used image-source method (ISM), to efficiently generate realistic RIR data without specific computational devices. FRA-RIR replaces the physical simulation in the standard ISM by a series of random approximations, which significantly speeds up the simulation process and enables its application in on-the-fly data generation pipelines. Experiments show that FRA-RIR can not only be significantly faster than other existing ISM-based RIR simulation tools on standard computational platforms, but also improves the performance of speech denoising systems evaluated on real-world RIR when trained with simulated RIR. A Python implementation of FRA-RIR is available online\footnote{\url{https://github.com/yluo42/FRA-RIR}}.

Code

Syntology Ran 3 of 3 code samples harvested from 1 repository linked to this paper; 0 have no recorded run. Of those that ran: 1 ran · violated contract; 2 ran · fixture could not drive it.

By repository: community (archive-listed): 3 samples from 1 repository, 3 ran. The run record, sample by sample. “Ran” means executed on a synthesized input, not that the code is correct or reproduces the paper.

Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.

Licence: 0 of the 3 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.

Harvested from tencent-ailab/fra-rir. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.

Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.

Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
