EXP_ZIEGELWANGER2013 - Figures from Ziegelwanger and Majdak (2013)

Usage

data = exp_ziegelwanger2013(flag)

exp_ziegelwanger2013(flags) reproduces figures of the paper from Ziegelwanger and Majdak (2013).

Optional fields of output data structure:

The following flags can be specified:

'plot' Plot the output of the experiment. This is the default.
'noplot' Don't plot, print results in the console.

'cached' Reload previously calculated results. This is the default.'

'redo' Recalculate results.'

'fig1a' Reproduce Fig. 1 from ziegelwanger2013: Model parameters (sphere radius, sphere center) resulting from fitting the off-axis model to HRTFs of human listeners.
'fig1b'

Reproduce Fig. 1 from majdak2013:

Left panel: Normalized HRIRs of NH89 (ARI database). Sound source was placed 45 deg left in the horizontal plane. Solid line: for the left ear Dashed line: for the right ear Vertical lines: Estimated TOAs Arrows: Resulting ITDs from the corresponding TOAs Circles, Red: Minimum-Phase Cross-Correlation Method Triangle, Green: Time-Position of the HRIR-Maximum Diamonds, Blue: Centroid of the HRIR Squares, Magenta: Average Group Delay (1-5 kHz)

Right panel: Estimated TOAs of NH89 (ARI database) in the horizontal interaural plane. Black: Minimum-Phase Cross-Correlation Method Blue: Time-Position of the HRIR-Maximum Green: Centroid of the HRIR Red: Average Group Delay (1-5 kHz)

'fig2b'

Reproduce Fig. 2 from majdak2013:

Right panel: Estimated TOAs, detected outliers and outlier adjusted set of TOAs for NH89 (ARI database) in the horizontal plane. Line: Estimated TOAs Triangles (down), Blue: Detected outliers for the azimuthal slope criterion Triangles (up), Blue: Detected outliers for the sagittal variance criterion Dots, Red: Outlier-adjusted set

'fig3b'

Reproduce Fig. 3 from majdak2013:

Left panel: Model parameters (sphere radius, ear position) resulting from fitting the on-axis model to HRTFs of a rigid sphere. Squares: for the left ear Diamonds: for the right ear Dashed lines: set values used in the numerical HRTF calculation

Right panel: Model parameters (sphere radius) resulting from fitting the on-axis model to HRTFs of an off-axis placed rigid sphere.
