Description

HRTF (head-mounted HRTF) measuring method and device based on head-mounted loudspeaker system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of audio analysis and processing, in particular to an HRTF measuring method based on a head-mounted loudspeaker system and measuring equipment thereof.
Background
A Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF), also known as atf (acoustic Transfer Function), is an audio localization algorithm describing the transmission process of sound waves from a sound source to two ears of a listener, which reflects the comprehensive filtering result of the sound waves by human body structures, such as Head, pinna, trunk structures and even sexes, and contains localization information about the sound source, and has very important significance for the reproduction of stereo sound effects and the simulation of virtual position information of the sound source. The sound source device mainly comprises an Interaural Time Difference (ITD) and an Interaural sound pressure Level Difference (ILD), and in a practical application scene, a loudspeaker can convert signals processed by HRTFs into sound wave signals to show different spatial hearing effects.
The HRTF has personalized characteristics, and different physiological structures and size characteristics of different listeners determine that the HRTF has unique HRTF characteristics. The method is characterized in that 52 subjects are measured by professor of Nemada fungus, namely institute of physical science and technology acoustics of university of south China's science and technology institute in head-related transfer function database and characteristic analysis thereof, a high spatial resolution HRTF based on Chinese collected samples is established, and research results show that the largest ITDS has obvious gender difference in statistical significance; and the comparison with a foreign CIPIC HRTF database shows that the ITDS based on the Chinese sample has significant difference with the statistical result mainly based on the Western sample, namely the personalized features of the HRTFs have obvious gender and population difference.
The existing HRTF model which is applied to the application is an averaged HRTF model based on sample statistics, particularly based on the statistical result of a western person sample, the HRTF model cannot really accord with the HRTF characteristics of an actual listener, and therefore a reproduced sound field or a simulated sound field established based on the HRTF model cannot accurately reflect sound source position information in the sound field.
Furthermore, the way listeners acquire sound from a head mounted speaker system is different from a free field speaker system. For a free-field loudspeaker system, sound waves emitted by a sound source are scattered by the head, auricle, trunk and the like of a listener and then reach the ears, any body structure contacted by the sound waves in the process changes the sound waves, and the frequency and the phase of the sound waves are different; for a head-mounted speaker system, the speakers are placed directly at or near the ear orifices of the listener's ear, and the sound waves emitted from the sound source do not pass through the torso of the listener. Compared with a free field loudspeaker system, the influence of the trunk of a listener on sound waves emitted by the head-mounted loudspeaker system is small, so how to research the influence of the head-mounted loudspeaker system on the judgment of sound source position information of the listener, namely the acquisition of the personalized head-related transfer function of the listener when using the head-mounted loudspeaker system, becomes a key for improving the stereo listening effect of the head-mounted loudspeaker system.
