The objective is to identify the sound source location that results in the flattest frequency response at receiver locations, promoting a listening experience aligned with the artist's intention.
Acoustic ray tracing, which can be used as a method for determining frequency response, experiences slow performance due to missed rays at the receiver.
The proposed method improves performance by using importance sampling with gaussian distributions derived from previous low ray count simulations.
However, inconsistent results have been observed, necessitating further research to determine feasibility of the method.
