This paper presents the application of wavelets for solving two key problems in 3-D audio simulation. First, we employ discrete wavelet transform (DWT) combined with vector quantization (VQ) to compress audio data in order to reduce tremendous redundant data storage and transmission times. Secondly, we use wavelets as the activation functions in neural networks called feed-forward wavelet networks to approach auditory localization information cues (head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are used here). The experimental results demonstrate that the application of wavelets is more efficient and useful in 3-D audio simulation.展开更多
