Abstract

A method for interpolating a sound field captured by a plurality of N microphones each outputting the encoded sound field in a form including at least one captured pressure and an associated pressure gradient vector. Such a method includes an interpolation of the sound field at an interpolation position outputting an interpolated encoded sound field as a linear combination of the N encoded sound fields each weighted by a corresponding weighting factor. The interpolation includes an estimation of the N weighting factors at least from: the interpolation position; a position of each of the N microphones; the N pressures captured by the N microphones; and an estimated power of the sound field at the interpolation position.
