itd2angle_lookuptable - generates an ITD-azimuth lookup table for the given HRTF set

Program code:

function lookup = itd2angle_lookuptable(irs,varargin)
%itd2angle_lookuptable generates an ITD-azimuth lookup table for the given HRTF set
%   Usage: lookup = itd2angle_lookuptable(irs,fs,model);
%          lookup = itd2angle_lookuptable(irs,fs);
%          lookup = itd2angle_lookuptable(irs);
%
%   Input parameters:
%       irs    : HRTF data set (TU Berlin's irs format or SOFA format)
%       fs     : sampling rate, (default: 44100) / Hz
%       model  : binaural model to use:
%                   'dietz2011' uses the Dietz binaural model (default)
%                   'lindemann1986' uses the Lindemann binaural model
%
%   Output parameters:
%       lookup : struct containing the polinomial fitting data for the
%                ITD -> azimuth transformation, p,MU,S, see help polyfit
%
%   ITD2ANGLE_LOOKUPTABLE(irs) creates a lookup table from the given IR data
%   set. This lookup table can be used by the dietz2011 or lindemann1986 binaural
%   models to predict the perceived direction of arrival of an auditory event.
%   The azimuth angle is stored in degree in the lookup table.
%
%   For the handling of the HRTF file format this function depends on the
%   Sound-Field-Synthesis Toolbox, which is available here:
%   http://github.com/sfstoolbox/sfs. It runs under Matlab and Octave. The
%   revision used to genrate the figures in the corressponding paper is
%   a8914700a4.
