A System for Rapid Measurement and Direct Customization of Head Related Impulse Responses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Head-Related Impulse Responses (HRIRs) measurement systems are quite complex and present long acquisition times for an accurate sampling of the full 3D space. Therefore HRIRs customization has become an important research topic. In HRIRs customization some parameters (generally anthropometric measurements) are obtained from new listeners and ad-hoc HRIRs can be retrieved from them. Another way to get new listeners parameters is to measure a subset of the full 3D space HRIRs and extrapolate them in order to obtain a full 3D database. This partial acquisition system, of course, should be rapid and accurate. In this paper we present a system which allows for rapid acquisition and equalization of HRIRs for a subset of the 3D grid. Then a technique to carry out HRIR customization based on the measured HRIRs will be described.

Enhanced Vertical Perception through Head-Related Impulse Response Customization Based on Pinna Response Tuning in the Median Plane
Human’s ability to perceive elevation of a sound and distinguish whether a sound is coming from the front or rear strongly depends on the monaural spectral features of the pinnae. In order to realize an effective virtual auditory display by HRTF (head-related transfer function) customization, the pinna responses were isolated from the median HRIRs (head-related impulse responses) of 45 individu...
متن کاملIndividual head-related impulse response measurement system with 3D scanning of pinnae
Head-related impulse responses (HRIRs) in the time domain, or head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) in the frequency domain, characterize the transmission between a sound source and the eardrums of a subject. They are different for each ear, angle of incidence, and also vary from person to person due to the anatomical differences. Individual measurement of HRIRs become required for applicatio...
متن کاملAccelerated Method for the Reduced-Parameter Modeling of Head-Related Transfer Functions for Customizable Spatial Audio
Many spatial audio (“3D sound”) systems are based on the use of Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs). Since the measurement of these HRTFs for each prospective listener is impractical in many applications, developers frequently use “generic” HRTFs (e.g., from a mannequin), sacrificing the superior spatialization that could be provided by “individual” HRTFs. This paper presents an improved me...
متن کاملDynamic measurement of room impulse responses using a moving microphone.
A technique for the recording of large sets of room impulse responses or head-related transfer functions is presented. The technique uses a microphone moving with constant speed. Given a setup (e.g., length of the room impulse response), a careful choice of the recording parameters (excitation signal, speed of movement) leads to the reconstruction of all impulse responses along the trajectory. ...
متن کاملRoom impulse responses measurement using a moving microphone
In this paper, we present a technique to record a large set of room impulse responses using a microphone moving along a trajectory. The technique processes the signal recorded by the microphone to reconstruct the signals that would have been recorded at all possible spatial positions along the array. The speed of movement of the microphone is shown to be the key factor for the reconstruction. T...
