Accelerating Atmospheric Ray Tracing for real-time aircraft noise auralization

The Atmospheric Ray Tracing (ART) framework is an efficient tool for the simulation of sound propagation in the atmosphere. It considers the effects of refraction and medium movement and provides a fast method to find eigenrays, connecting a source with a receiver. The framework shows great potential to be used for real-time auralizations of aircraft flyovers. With that goal in mind, additional improvements of this method are desired. In this thesis, the approach should be accelerated using a-priori knowledge, e.g. between consecutive aircraft positions in a dynamic scenario. Then, the performance of the accelerated method is to be tested and compared to the current approach.
