Abstract

Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) is the most important factor to achieve Auditory Space Modeling(ASM). HRTF has many applications in the areas of room acoustic modeling, spatial hearing and multimedia. For the reason that HRTF is related to the location and frequency of sound source and the physiological structures of the listener, customization of HRTF becomes the bottle-neck problem of the research and application of ASM. This paper, based on the measured data offers the personalization method of the HRTF based on the multi-dimensional physiological parameters, and the method is verified through the spectral distortion and the subjective auditory localization experiments. The results show that database matching can obtain the personalized HRTF efficiently and in the spatial hearing experiment the personalized HRTF can reduce the front-back confusion of auditory localization and improve the accuracy.
