exp_baumgartner2015(flag) reproduces figures of the studies from Baumgartner et al. (2015).
The following flags can be specified
'fig2' | Reproduce Fig.2 of Baumgartner and Majdak (2015): Example showing the spectral discrepancies obtained by VBAP. The targeted spectrum is the HRTF for 20 deg polar angle. The spectrum obtained by VBAP is the superposition of two HRTFs from directions 40 deg polar angle apart of each other with the tar- geted source direction centered in between. |
'fig4' | Reproduce Fig.4 of Baumgartner and Majdak (2015): Response predictions to sounds created by VBAP with two loudspeakers in the median plane positioned at polar angles of -15 and 30 deg, respectively. Predictions for two exemplary listeners and pooled across all listeners. Each column of a panel shows the predicted PMV of polar-angle responses to a certain sound. Note the inter-individual differences and the generally small probabilities at response angles not occupied by the loudspeakers. |
'fig5' | Reproduce Fig.5 of Baumgartner and Majdak (2015): Listener-specific increases in polar error as a function of the panning angle. Increase in polar error defined as the difference between the polar error obtained by the VBAP source and the polar error obtained by the real source at the corresponding panning angle. Same loudspeaker arrangement as for Fig. 4. Note the large inter-individual differences and the increase in polar error being largest at panning angles centered between the loudspeakers, i.e., at panning ratios around R = 0 dB. |
'fig6' | Reproduce Fig.6 of Baumgartner and Majdak (2015):
Panning angles for the loudspeaker arrangement of Fig. 4
judged best for reference sources at polar angles of
0 or 15 deg in the median plane. Comparison between
experimental results from [2] and simulated results
based on various response strategies: PM, CM, and both
mixed. Dotted horizontal line: polar angle of the reference
source. Hor- izontal line within box: median;
box: inter-quartile range (IQR);
whisker: within quartile |
'tab1' | Reproduce Tab.1 of Baumgartner and Majdak (2015): Means and standard deviations of responded panning angles for the two reference sources (Ref.) together with corresponding GOFs evaluated for the actual results from Pulkki (2001) and predicted results based on various response strategies. Note the relatively large GOFs for the simulations based on mixed response strategies indicating a good correspondence between actual and predicted results. |
'fig7' | Reproduce Fig.7 of Baumgartner and Majdak (2015):
Increase in polar error (defined as in Fig. 5) as a function
of loudspeaker span in the median plane with panning ratio
R = 0 dB. Black line with gray area indicates mean
|
'fig8' | Reproduce Fig.8 of Baumgartner and Majdak (2015): Effect of loudspeaker span in the median plane on coefficient of determination, r^2, for virtual source directions created by VBAP. Separate analysis for frontal, rear, and overall (frontal and rear) targets. Data pooled across listeners. Note the correspondence with the results obtained by Bremen et al. (2010). |
'tab3' | Reproduce Tab.3 of Baumgartner and Majdak (2015): Predicted across-listener average of increase in polar errors as referred to a reference system containing loudspeakers at all considered directions. Distinction between mean and maximum degradation across directions. N: Number of loudspeakers. Ele.: Elevation of second layer. Notice that this elevation has a larger effect on mean and maximum degradation than N. |
'fig9' | Reproduce Fig.9 of Baumgartner and Majdak (2015): Predicted polar error as a function of the lateral and polar angle of a virtual source created by VBAP in various multichannel systems. Open circles indicate loudspeaker directions. Reference shows polar error predicted for a real source placed at the virtual source directions investigated for systems A, ..., F. |
Further, cache flags (see amt_cache) and plot flags can be specified:
'plot' | Plot the output of the experiment. This is the default. |
'no_plot' | Don't plot, only return data. |
