ZIEGELWANGER2013 - Time of arrival estimates

Usage

[Obj,results]=ziegelwanger2013(Obj,method,model,p0_onaxis)

Input parameters

Obj SOFA object
method (Optional) Select one of the estimation methods
model
(Optional) Correct estimated toa, using geometrical
TOA-Model. If \(model=0\) use TOA estimated, if \(model=1\) use TOA modeled (default).
p0_onaxis (optional) Starting values for lsqcurvefit

Output parameters

Obj SOFA Object
results.toa
data matrix with time of arrival (TOA) for each impulse response (IR):
results.p_onaxis
estimated on-axis model-parameters
results.p_offaxis
estimated off-axis model-parameters

Description

Estimates the Time-of-Arrival for each measurement in Obj (SOFA) and corrects the results with a geometrical model of the head.

The value of method is an integer choosing one of the following methods. XXX Explain for each method a little about how they work:

  1. Threshold-Detection
  2. Centroid of squared IR
  3. Mean Groupdelay
  4. Minimal-Phase Cross-Correlation (Max) (default)

Requirements:

  1. SOFA API from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sofacoustics for Matlab (in e.g. thirdparty/SOFA)
  2. Optimization Toolbox for Matlab
  3. Data in hrtf/ziegelwanger2013

Examples:

To calculate the model parameters for the on-axis time-of-arrival model (p_onaxis) and for the off-axis time-of-arrival model (p_offaxis) for a given HRTF set (SOFA object, 'Obj') with the minimum-phase cross-correlation method, use:

[Obj,results]=ziegelwanger2013(Obj,4,1);
