Title
Individualization of Head Related Transfer Functions Based on Radial Basis Function Neural Network
Abstract
Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) contain sound localization cues and are commonly used in 3D audio reproduction. Due to HRTFs are closely related to anthropometric parameters (head, pinna, torso), which means HRTFs vary with each individual, how to obtain a set of suitable HRTFs for each individual remains to be solved. In this paper, we investigated the complex relationship between HRTFs and anthropometric parameters through Radial Basis Function neural network (RBF), and proposed a method of generating individualized HRTFs with listener's anthropometric parameters. Objective experiments show that the estimated HRTFs have good consistency with measured ones, and the spectral distortion values have an average reduction of 0.59 dB compared with other methods. Subjective listening tests show that using estimated HRTFs enable accurate auditory localization.
