Toward HRTF personalization: an auditory-perceptual evaluation of simulated and measured HRTFs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sound localization tests were carried out with two subjects using a Virtual Auditory Display (VAD) to determine the intersubject effects on localization accuracy, of employing either acoustically measured or Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD)-simulated Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs). Results indicate that the simulated HRTFs were able to yield comparable localization performance and carried sufficient acoustic cues for personalization.

Customizable Auditory Displays
High-quality virtual audio scene rendering is a must for emerging virtual and augmented reality applications, for perceptual user interfaces, and sonification of data. Personalization of HRTF is necessary in applications where perceptual realism and correct elevation perception is critical. We describe algorithms for creation of virtual auditory spaces by rendering cues that arise from anatomic...
متن کاملHrtf Personalization Using Anthropometric Measurements
Individualized head related transfer functions (HRTFs) are needed for accurate rendering of spatial audio, which is important in many applications. Since these are relatively tedious to acquire, they may not be acceptable for some applications. A number of studies have sought to perform simple customization of the HRTF. We propose and test a strategy for HRTF personalization, based on matching ...
متن کاملParametric binaural synthesis: Background, applications and standards
The amount of information present in HRTFs and the required processing capabilities for real-time and interactive binaural rendering have long been a challenge for many applications for binaural rendering. More recently, parametric methods to capture the perceptually-relevant information from HRTFs have been developed. By means of extracting perceptually-relevant attributes from HRTF pairs, bin...
متن کاملA Multilinear Approach to Hrtf Personalization
The head-related transfer function (HRTF) captures most of the auditory cues used to discern sound source direction and therefore is essential for synthesizing convincing spatial audio. HRTFs are, however, difficult to measure and highly person-specific. This has created significant interest in alternative methods for generating custom HRTFs. We present a multilinear modeling framework for HRTF...
متن کاملHorizontal plane HRTF reproduction using continuous Fourier-Bessel functions
This paper proposes a method to reproduce the Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) in the horizontal auditory scene. The method is based on a separable representation which consists of a Fourier Bessel series expansion for the spectral components and a conventional Fourier series expansion for the spatial dependence. The proposed representation can be used to predict HRTFs at any azimuth posit...
