Our engineers in Paris are working in numerous scientific projects:
Audiohelix
Audiohelix develops methods for sound comparison and searching as well as several end-user applications that exploit these methods to retrieve sound or music samples based on specified properties of their content. The methods will be implemented in software that can quickly and accurately search a large database of audio samples and retrieve samples that are similar to a given query. Audiohelix is funded by OSEO under Eureka-Eurostars contract E!5189.
I3Dmusic
i3DMusic intends to enable enhanced playback of existing musical content on up to date and emerging 3D audio systems. I3DMusic will create a new class of music playback systems for mono and stereo content by combining specifically designed audio source separation techniques and sound spatialization algorithms into real-time and interactive products, targeted for sound engineers, DJs and consumers. Audionamix is the coordinator of this project. i3DMusic is funded by OSEO under Eureka-Eurostars contract E!5582.
Sarah Project
Sarah has developed new tools for the industrialization of 5.1 remixing of existing content. Audionamix was the coordinator of this project. Sarah has been funded by French National Agency for Research (ANR).
Memories
Memories has developed a tool that meets high professional standards for researchers, archivists and journalist. A straightforward interchange and long-term document preservation, thanks to a system which adapts to technological developments and provides considerable time-savings in cataloging. Memories has been funded by the sixth framework program from the Information Society Technologies under contract N 035300.
