| 3 | +## Sound quality metrics |
| 4 | +The scope of the project is to implement the following first set of |
| 5 | +metrics: |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +| | Reference | Validated | Available | Under dev. | To do | |
| 8 | +|:-------------------------------------------------- |:---------------------------------------------------- |:--------------------------------------------------:|:---------------------------------------------:|:----------:|:-----:| |
| 9 | +| Loudness for<br>steady signals<br>(Zwicker method) | ISO 532B:1975<br>DIN 45631:1991<br>ISO 532-1:2017 §5 | [x](./mosqito/validations/loudness_zwicker/output) | [x](./documentation/loudness-stationary.md) | | | |
| 10 | +| Loudness for non-stationary<br>(Zwicker method) | DIN 45631/A1:2010<br>ISO 532-1:2017 §6 | [x](./mosqito/validations/loudness_zwicker/output) | [x](./documentation/loudness-time-varying.md) | | | |
| 11 | +| Loudness for non-stationary<br>(ECMA-74 method) | ECMA-74:2019, annex F<br>Sottek, 2016 | | | x | | |
| 12 | +| Roughness | Daniel and Weber, 1997 | [x](./mosqito/validations/roughness_danielweber) | [x](./documentation/roughness.md) | | | |
| 13 | +| Roughness | ECMA-418-2:2020 | | | | x | |
| 14 | +| Fluctuation Strength | To be defined | | | | x | |
| 15 | +| Sharpness | DIN 45692:2009 | [x](./mosqito/validations/sharpness/output) | [x](./documentation/sharpness.md) | | | |
| 16 | +| Tonality (Hearing model) | ECMA-74:2019 annex G | | | x | | |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +As a second priority, the project could address the following metrics: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +| | Reference | Validated | Available | Under dev. | To do | |
| 21 | +|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |:------------------------------------- |:---------:|:---------:|:----------:|:-----:| |
| 22 | +| Loudness for steady signals<br>(Moore/Glasberg method) | ISO 532-2:2017 | | | | x | |
| 23 | +| Loudness for non-stationary<br>(Moore/Glasberg method) | Moore, 2014 | | | | x | |
| 24 | +| Sharpness (using <br>Moore/Glasberg loudness) | Hales-Swift<br>and Gee, 2017 | | | | x | |
| 25 | +| Tone-to-noise ratio / Prominence <br> ratio (occupational noise,<br>discrete tones) | ECMA-74:2019 annex D<br>ISO 7719:2018 | | x | | | |
| 26 | +| Tone-to-noise ratio<br>(environmental noise,<br>automatic tone detection) | DIN 45681 | | | | x | |
| 27 | +| Tone-to-noise ratio<br>(environmental noise) | ISO 1996-2 | | | | x | |
| 28 | +| Tone-to-noise ratio<br>(environmental noise) | ANSI S1.13:2005 | | | | x | |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## Other SQ tools |
| 32 | +In parallel, tools for signal listening and manipulation will be |
| 33 | +developed. The objective is to be able to apply some modification to a |
| 34 | +signal (filtering, tone removal, etc.) and assess the impact on |
| 35 | +different SQ metrics. The integration of tools to define jury tests and |
| 36 | +analyze the results is also planned. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Of course, any other sound quality related implementation by anyone who |
| 39 | +wants to contribute is welcome. |
