双耳重放的目标之一是在耳机重放中产生不同方向和距离的虚拟源感知。本文研究了动态双耳Ambisonics重放自由场虚拟源方向和距离信息的简化信号处理方法。该信号处理方法包括两步:第1步是基于目标声场的球谐函数分解,合成采用扬声器的近场Ambisonics重放中逐级重构目标声场的信号;第2步是采用虚拟扬声器重放的方法,用动态头相关函数滤波处理将Ambisonics的扬声器重放信号转换为双耳重放信号并用耳机重放。进一步研究了动态双耳Ambisonics的阶数对定位效果的影响,为简化信号处理提供依据。对重放产生的双耳声压分析表明,5阶动态双耳Ambisonics重放足以提供听觉方向定位和距离感知的重要信息。同时心理声学的实验结果表明,结合声源距离相关的响度因素,5阶动态双耳Ambisonics重放可产生不同方向和1.0 m以下不同近场距离的自由场虚拟源的听觉感知。本文的方法仅需要固定距离的48个均匀空间方向的远场非个性化HRTF处理,实现了信号处理的简化。 相似文献

远场头相关传输函数(HRTF)随声源方向、频率以及个体变化。完整HRTF的数据量很大,且测量或计算每个人的高方向分辨率HRTF是很困难的。本文提出一种从少量方向的测量或计算重构高方向分辨率HRTF的方法。基于HRTF张量分解,远场HRTF可分解为方向模态、频率模态和少量个体模态的张量组合。通过对已有的基线HRTF数据库进行统计分析,可得到与个体无关的方向模态矩阵和频率模态矩阵。而对于任何新的个体,只要少量方向的测量或计算HRTF即可估计出个体模态的变化,并重构出高方向分辨率的HRTF数据。对两个HRTF数据库的计算表明,采用11个个体模态即可表示超过98%的个体相关的HRTF能量变化,并从大约30个方向的测量或计算HRTF重构出高方向分辨率的HRTF幅度。心理声学实验验证了提出的方法。该方法可用于简化个性化HRTF的测量或计算。 相似文献

Head-related transfer functions(HRTFs) are the core of virtual auditory display and relevant applications. However,a standard method for HRTF measurements has not been established. This work examines the influence of different HRTF measurement methodologies on auditory perception. First, the diffusion-field equalization was proposed and applied to HRTFs of a single dummy head(KEMAR) from five different datasets. Then,the spectral deviations among the HRTFs were calculated and analyzed. Finally, a series of subjective listening experiments(including localization and discrimination experiments) were conducted. Results indicate the diffusion-field equalization is an effective pre-processing method which reduces the difference in HRTF magnitude spectra caused by different measurement methodologies. Moreover,the HRTFs from different measurement methodologies have similar localization performance below 12 kHz, whereas the inter-dataset differences in timbre are distinct leading to audible discrimination. 相似文献

HRTF personalization based on artificial neural network in individual virtual auditory space 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The synthesis of individual virtual auditory space (VAS) is an important and challenging task in virtual reality. One of the key factors for individual VAS is to obtain a set of individual head related transfer functions (HRTFs). A customization method based on back-propagation (BP) artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed to obtain an individual HRTF without complex measurement. The inputs of the neural network are the anthropometric parameters chosen by correlation analysis and the outputs are the characteristic parameters of HRTFs together with the interaural time difference (ITD). Objective simulation experiments and subjective sound localization experiments are implemented to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Experiments show that the estimated non-individual HRTF has small mean square error, and has similar perception effect to the corresponding one obtained from the database. Furthermore, the localization accuracy of personalized HRTF is increased compared to the non-individual HRTF. 相似文献

A hybrid algorithm for selecting head-related transfer function based on similarity of anthropometric structures 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
As the basic data for virtual auditory technology, head-related transfer function (HRTF) has many applications in the areas of room acoustic modeling, spatial hearing and multimedia. How to individualize HRTF fast and effectively has become an opening problem at present. Based on the similarity and relativity of anthropometric structures, a hybrid HRTF customization algorithm, which has combined the method of principal component analysis (PCA), multiple linear regression (MLR) and database matching (DM), has been presented in this paper. The HRTFs selected by both the best match and the worst match have been applied into obtaining binaurally auralized sounds, which are then used for subjective listening experiments and the results are compared. For the area in the horizontal plane, the localization results have shown that the selection of HRTFs can enhance the localization accuracy and can also abate the problem of front-back confusion. 相似文献

An efficient method for head-related transfer function (HRTF) measurement is presented. By applying the acoustical principle of reciprocity, one can swap the speaker and the microphone positions in the traditional (direct) HRTF measurement setup, that is, insert a microspeaker into the subject's ear and position several microphones around the subject, enabling simultaneous HRTF acquisition at all microphone positions. The setup used for reciprocal HRTF measurement is described, and the obtained HRTFs are compared with the analytical solution for a sound-hard sphere and with KEMAR manikin HRTF obtained by the direct method. The reciprocally measured sphere HRTF agrees well with the analytical solution. The reciprocally measured and the directly measured KEMAR HRTFs are not exactly identical but agree well in spectrum shape and feature positions. To evaluate if the observed differences are significant, an auditory localization model based on work by J. C. Middlebrooks [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 92, 2607-2624 (1992)] was used to predict where a virtual sound source synthesized with the reciprocally measured HRTF would be localized if the directly measured HRTF were used for the localization. It was found that the predicted localization direction generally lies close to the measurement direction, indicating that the HRTFs obtained via the two methods are in good agreement. 相似文献

Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) for human subjects in anechoic space were modeled with modified phase spectra, including minimum-phase-plus-delay, linear-phase, and reversed-phase-plus-delay functions. The overall (wide-band) interaural time delay (ITD) for the modeled HRTFs was made consistent with that of the empirical HRTFs by setting the position-dependent, frequency-independent delay in the HRTF for the lagging ear. Signal analysis of the minimum-phase-plus-delay reconstructions indicated that model HRTFs deviate from empirical HRTF measurements maximally for contralateral azimuths and low elevations. Subjects assessed the perceptual validity of the model HRTFs in a four-interval, two-alternative, forced-choice discrimination paradigm. Results indicate that monaural discrimination performance of subjects was at chance for all three types of HRTF models. Binaural discrimination performance was at chance for the linear-phase HRTFs, was above chance for some locations for the minimum-phase-plus-delay HRTFs, and was above chance for all tested locations for the reversed-phase-plus-delay HRTFs. An analysis of low-frequency timing information showed that all of these results are consistent with efficient use of interaural time differences in the low-frequency components of the stimulus waveforms. It is concluded that listeners are insensitive to HRTF phase spectra as long as the overall ITD of the low-frequency components does not provide a reliable cue. In particular, the minimum-phase-plus-delay approximation to the HRTF phase spectrum is an adequate approximation as long as the low-frequency ITD is appropriate. These results and conclusions are all limited to the anechoic case when the HRTFs correspond to brief impulse responses limited to a few milliseconds. 相似文献

Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) vary with individuals, and in practice, measuring HRTFs with high directional resolution for each individual is tiresome. Based on a basis functions representation of HRTFs, the present work proposes a method for recovering individual HRTFs from a small set of measurements. The HRTFs are represented by a combination of a small set of spatial basis functions (SBFs) with frequency- and individual-dependent weights. The SBFs are derived by applying spatial principal component analysis to a baseline HRTF dataset with high directional resolution. The individual weights for any subject outside the dataset are estimated from measurements at a few source directions, and then the HRTFs with high directional resolution are recovered by combining the SBFs and the individual weights. In an illustrative case, the SBFs derived from a baseline dataset that includes 20 subjects are used to recover the HRTF magnitudes for six subjects outside the baseline dataset. Results show that individual HRTF magnitudes can be recovered from measurements at 73 directions with a mean signal-to-distortion ratio of 19 dB. The proposed method is also applicable to recovering head-related impulse responses. The results of psychoacoustic experiments indicate that in most cases the recovered and measured HRTFs are indistinguishable. 相似文献

A model of head-related transfer functions based on principal components analysis and minimum-phase reconstruction. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Free-field to eardrum transfer functions (HRTFs) were measured from both ears of 10 subjects with sound sources at 265 different positions. A principal components analysis of the resulting 5300 HRTF magnitude functions revealed that the HRTFs can be modeled as a linear combination of five basic spectral shapes (basis functions), and that this representation accounts for approximately 90% of the variance in the original HRTF magnitude functions. HRTF phase was modeled by assuming that HRTFs are minimum-phase functions and that interaural phase differences can be approximated by a simple time delay. Subjects' judgments of the apparent directions of headphone-presented sounds that had been synthesized from the modeled HRTFs were nearly identical to their judgments of sounds synthesized from measured HRTFs. With fewer than five basis functions used in the model, a less faithful reconstruction of the HRTF was produced, and the frequency of large localization errors increased dramatically. 相似文献

To examine a simulation method for vertical sound localization, and to clarify which peaks and notches in head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) play a role as spectral cues, localization tests in the median plane were carried out using a parametric HRTF model, which is recomposed only of extracted spectral peaks and notches. The results show that the parametric HRTF recomposed using the first and second notches (N1 and N2) and the first peak (P1) provides almost the same localization accuracy as the measured HRTFs. Observations of the spectral peaks and notches indicate that N1 and N2 change remarkably as the source elevation changes, whereas P1 does not depend on the source elevation. In conclusion, N1 and N2 can be regarded as spectral cues, and the hearing system could utilize P1 as the reference information to analyze N1 and N2. 相似文献

Near-field head-related transfer functions(HRTFs) are essential to scientific researches of binaural hearing and practical applications of virtual auditory display. High efficiency, accuracy and repeatability are required in a near-field HRTF measurement. Hence,there is no reference which intents on solving the measuring difficulties of near-field HRTF for human subjects. In present work, an efficient near-field HRTF measurement system based on computer control is designed and implemented, and a fast calibration method for the system is proposed to first solve the measurement of near-field HRTF for human subjects. The efficiency of measurement is enhanced by a comprehensive design on the acoustic, electronic and mechanical parts of the system. And the accuracy and repeatability of the measurement are greatly improved by carefully calibrating the positions of sound source, subject and binaural microphones.This system is suitable for near-field HRTF measurement at various source distances within 1.0 m, for both human subject and artificial head. The time costs of HRTF measurement at a single sound source distance and full directions has been reduced to less than 20 minutes. The measurement results indicate that the accuracy of the system satisfies the actual requirements.The system is applicable to scientific research and can be used to establish an individualized near-field HRTF database for human subjects. 相似文献

Individualization of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) is important for highly accurate sound localization systems such as virtual auditory displays. A method to estimate interaural level differences (ILDs) from a listener's anthropometry is presented in this paper to avoid the burden of direct measurement of HRTFs. The main result presented in this paper is that localization is improved with nonindividualized HRTF if ILD is fitted to the listener. First, the relationship between ILDs and the anthropometric parameters was analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The azimuthal variation of the ILDs in each 1/3-octave band was then estimated from the listener's anthropometric parameters. A psychoacoustical experiment was carried out to evaluate its effectiveness. The experimental results show that the adjustment of the frequency characteristics of ILDs for a listener with the proposed method is effective for localization accuracy. 相似文献
