Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper describes a method of selective listening point-type acoustic field representation. An appreciation system that user can select a position can be developed by integrating with the technology of arbitrary viewpoint images. If a set of location and assembled signal concerned with the sound sources is estimated, the acoustic field is reproduced by convolving assembled signals and acoustic transfer functions that have a stereophony. Frequency-domain independent component analysis is utilized in estimation the source information. We propose a method of clustering all of the frequency components into a predetermined number of local spaces across all frequency bins. The reconstructed signal from the local spaces of frequency components called local signal mixture represents either a signal of one source or mixture of different source signals located in close positions. The sound filed made by six sound sources was captured using 48 distant-microphones in a soundproof chamber. As results of the subjective evaluation of X-A-B test, it is confirmed that the proposed algorithm can represent the original sound field.
