Detection of Sound Image Movement During Horizontal Head Rotation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Movement detection for a virtual sound source was measured during the listener's horizontal head rotation. Listeners were instructed to do head rotation at a given speed. A trial consisted of two intervals. During an interval, a virtual sound source was presented 60° to the right or left of the listener, who was instructed to rotate the head to face the sound image position. Then in one of a pair of intervals, the sound position was moved slightly in the middle of the rotation. Listeners were asked to judge the interval in a trial during which the sound stimuli moved. Results suggest that detection thresholds are higher when listeners do head rotation. Moreover, this effect was found to be independent of the rotation velocity.

Sound localization in a median plane using an avatar robot “TeleHead” with synchronization of a listener’s horizontal head rotation
Demands for realization of communications with a high sense of presence have become great. For such communications, it is important acoustically to capture and transmit comprehensive sound space information of remote places to a local site. The authors developed an avatar robot, which was developed as a simplified version of TeleHead proposed by Toshima et al. The robot’s head moves synchronous...
متن کاملAuditory Compensation for Head Rotation Is Incomplete
Hearing is confronted by a similar problem to vision when the observer moves. The image motion that is created remains ambiguous until the observer knows the velocity of eye and/or head. One way the visual system solves this problem is to use motor commands, proprioception, and vestibular information. These "extraretinal signals" compensate for self-movement, converting image motion into head-c...

Recently, image processing technique and robotic vision are widely applied in fault detection of industrial products as well as document reading. In order to compare the captured images from the target, it is necessary to prepare a perfect image, then matching should be applied. A preprocessing must therefore, be done to correct the samples’ and or camera’s movement which can occur during the...

متن کاملDoes head rotation contribute to gaze stability during passive translations?
Active translations of human subjects are nearly perfectly compensated by a combined rotation of both the eyes and the head. Because vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) gain is less than perfect during passive translations with near targets in head-fixed subjects, there is a possibility that the compensatory head rotation observed during natural behavior represents a vestibularly driven head reflex [t...
