Apparatus And Method For Rendering A Sound Scene Comprising Discretized Curved Surfaces

Abstract: An apparatus for rendering a sound scene having reflection objects and a sound source at a sound source position, comprises: a geometry data provider (10) for providing an analysis of the reflection objects of the sound scene to determine a reflection object represented by a first polygon (2) and a second adjacent polygon (3) having associated a first image source position (62) for the first polygon and a second image source position (63) for the second polygon, wherein the first and second image source positions result in a sequence comprising a first visible zone (72) related to the first image source position (62), an invisible zone (80) and a second visible zone (73) related to the second image source position (63); an image source position generator (20) for generating an additional image source position (90) such that the additional image source position (90) is placed between the first image source position and the second image source position; and a sound renderer (30) for rendering the sound source at the sound source position and, additionally for rendering the sound source at the first image source position, when a listener position (130) is located within the first visible zone, for rendering the sound source at the additional image source position (90), when the listener position is located within the invisible zone (80), or for rendering the sound source at the second image source position, when the listener position is located within the second visible zone.
