takanen2013_directionmapping - Map the directional cues to directions

Program code:

function [msoAngles,lsoAngles,wbMsoAngles] = takanen2013_directionmapping(mso,lso,contraMso,wbMmso)
%takanen2013_directionmapping Map the directional cues to directions                 
%   Usage: [msoAngles,lsoAngles,wbMsoAngles] = takanen2013_directionmapping(mso,lso,contraMso,wbMmso)
%
%   Input parameters:
%        mso       : output of the MSO model projecting to left or right
%                    hemisphere
%        lso       : output of the LSO model projecting to left or right
%                    hemisphere
%        contraMso : output of the MSO model projecting to opposite
%                    hemisphere
%        wbMso     : output of the wideband MSO model projecting to left
%                    or right hemisphere
%
%   Output parameters:
%        msoAngles   : direction estimates provided by the model of MSO
%        lsoAngles   : direction estimates provided by the model of MSO
%        wbMsoAngles : direction estimates provided by the wideband MSO
%                      model
%
%   This function maps the outputs of the models of MSO and LSO into
%   azimuth angles ranging from -90 to 90 in 10 degree resolution using a
%   a set of reference values computed using monophonic signals and
%   measured HRTFs of the corresponding directions. More detailed
%   description about the process can be found in Takanen, Santala, Pulkki
%   2013 (Sec. 3.2.5)

%% ------ Computation ----------------------------------------------------
%load the precomputed set of reference values

referencevalues=x.referencevalues;
dims = size(mso);

%initialize the output values
msoAngles = zeros(dims(1),dims(2));

for freqInd =1:dims(2)
    %find the closest match to the cue value amongst the reference values 
    %in the lookup table
    temp = abs((lso(:,freqInd)*ones(1,nAngles))-(ones(dims(1),1)*referencevalues.lso(:,freqInd)'));
    %set the direction corresponding to the found reference value as the
    %direction estimate
    [~,ind] = min(temp,[],2);

    %direction estimation
