We present pyroomacoustics, a software package aimed at the rapid development
and testing of audio array processing algorithms. The content of the package
can be divided into three main components: an intuitive Python object-oriented
interface to quickly construct different simulation scenarios involving
multiple sound sources and microphones in 2D and 3D rooms; a fast C
implementation of the image source model for general polyhedral rooms to
efficiently generate room impulse responses and simulate the propagation
between sources and receivers; and finally, reference implementations of
popular algorithms for beamforming, direction finding, and adaptive filtering.
Together, they form a package with the potential to speed up the time to market
of new algorithms by significantly reducing the implementation overhead in the
performance evaluation step.

pyroomacoustics 是一个软件包，旨在快速开发和测试音频阵列处理算法。该软件包的内容可以分为三个主要组成部分：用于快速构建 2D 和 3D 房间内多个声源和麦克风的不同模拟场景的直观 Python 面向对象接口；用于一般多面房间的图像源模型的快速 C 实现，以有效地生成房间脉冲响应并模拟源和接收器之间的传播；最后，流行算法的参考实现，包括波束成型、方向发现和自适应滤波。三者共同组成一个软件包，可以显著减少实现开销，加速新算法上市的时间。
