MAY2011 - Azimuthal localization of concurrent talkers

Usage

out = may2011(input,fs);

Input parameters

input binaural input signal [nSamples x 2 channels]
fs sampling frequency in Hertz

Output parameters

out localization structure

Description

may2011 is a probabilistic localization model.

The out structure has the following fields:

.param processing parameters
.azFrames frame-based azimuth estimate [Frames x 1]
.azimuth time-frequency azimuth estimate [nFilter x nFrames]
.rangeAZ azimuth grid [nAzDir x 1]
.prob 3D probability map [nFilter x nFrames x nAzDir]
.loglik 3D log-likelihood map [nFilter x nFrames x nAzDir]
.itd interaural time difference [nFilter x nFrames]
.ild interaural level difference [nFilter x nFrames]
.ic interaural coherence [nFilter x nFrames]
