DIETZ2011UNWRAPITD - unwraps the given itd using the sign of the corresponding ild

Program code:

function itd = dietz2011unwrapitd(itd,ild,f_inst,tr)
%DIETZ2011UNWRAPITD unwraps the given itd using the sign of the corresponding ild
%   Usage: itd = dietz2011unwrapitd(itd,ild,f_inst,tr)
%
%   Input parameters:
%       itd    : itd to unwrap
%       ild    : corresponding ild value
%       f_inst : instantaneous frequency
%       tr     : only apply the unwrap mechanism for ild greater than the
%                threshold tr, because for values near 0 it could be wrong
%                (default: 2.5)
%
%   Output parameters:
%       itd    : unwrapped itd
%
%   DIETZ2011UNWRAPITD(itd,ild,f_inst,tr) unwraps the given itd using the sign of the
%   corresponding ild value. Unwrapping means, that the ild value is used to
%   decide to which direction the itd belongs, which can be unclear for
%   large values, because of the pi limit (see Dietz et al. 2011).

%% ===== Calculation ====================================================
itd = itd + ...
