Description
This poster presents two complementary extensions to Acoular that streamline interactive exploration and reproducible dataset creation for acoustic research.SpectAcoular is a Bokeh-based GUI layer for Acoular that exposes interactive widgets and prebuilt applications via the web browser. By delegating rendering and event handling to a high-level JavaScript stack, SpectAcoular enables cross-platform, low-latency visualizations and simple construction of custom interfaces for real-time source mapping and signal inspection—without requiring platform-specific GUI toolkits.AcouPipe is a pipeline for reproducible acoustic data generation targeted at machine-learning workflows. It provides tools for statistically controlled random sampling of virtual measurement scenarios, scalable distributed computation across machines. Users can generate large datasets while storing only derived features needed for training and share the containerized code required to reproduce results rather than the raw data itself, avoiding large transfers and improving reproducibility.Together, SpectAcoular and AcouPipe extend Acoular’s modular architecture: SpectAcoular lowers the barrier to interactive analysis and dissemination, while AcouPipe accelerates and documents data production for ML-driven studies. The poster summarizes design, example applications, and resources for adoption.
