The Hisstools impulse response Toolbox: convolution for the Masses

This paper introduces the HISSTools project, and its first release, the HISSTools Impulse Response Toolbox (HIRT); a set of tools for solving problems relating to convolution and impulse responses (IRs). Primarily, the aims and de- sign criteria for the HISSTools project are discussed. The elements of the HIRT are then outlined, along with mo- tivating factors for its development, underlying technolo- gies, design considerations and potential applications.
