A methodology is introduced for smoothing the complex transfer function of measured responses using well-established or arbitrary fractional-octave profiles, based on a novel time-frequency mapping framework. A corresponding impulse response, also derived analytically, has reduced complexity but conforms to perceptual principles. The relationship be tween complex smoothing and traditional power spectral smoothing is also discussed.

THE APPLICATION OF COMPLEX SPECTRAL SMOOTHING IN THE ANALYSIS OF ROOM ACOUSTICS
After fractional-octave smoothing of measured acoustic responses of various spaces, comparisons were undertaken with the original responses using well-established time and frequency domain criteria.…
Auditory adapted exponential transfer function smoothing (AAS)
TLDR
The system-theoretical foundation of a smoothing procedure referred to as auditory adapted exponential smoothing (AAS) is derived, which is adapted to the spectral properties of the human hearing system by implementing frequency-dependent smoothing bandwidths.
Room equalization based on iterative simple complex smoothing of acoustic impulse responses
TLDR
Results from an audio-conferencing reverberant room using objective and subjective tests show that the iterative simple complex smoothing of measured acoustic impulse responses can improve the measured and perceived quality of audio reproduction.

Time-frequency mapping based on non-uniform smoothed spectral representations
TLDR
A theoretical model for non-uniform spectral smoothing is introduced allowing the choice of arbitrary frequency resolution profiles to match such auditory features and this generalized framework is extended to allow mapping of such smoothing spectra into the time domain.
A Time-Frequency Auditory Model Using Wavelet Packets
TLDR
It is shown that the change in the time-frequency excitation pattern introduced when a test tone at masked threshold is added to the masker is approximately equal to 7 dB for all types of maskers, and the classic detection ratio therefore overrates the detection efficiency of the auditory system.
