exp_baumgartner2013(flags) reproduces figures of the book chapter from Baumgartner et al. (2013).
Optional fields of output data structure:
'id' | listener ID |
'u' | listener-specific uncertainty |
'dtfs' | matrix containing DTFs. Dimensions: time, position, channel (more details see doc: HRTF format) |
'fs' | sampling rate of impulse responses |
'pos' | source-position matrix referring to 2nd dimension of hM and formated acc. to meta.pos (ARI format). 6th col is the lateral angle. 7th col is the polar angle. |
'spdtfs' | DTFs of specific SPs |
'polangs' | polar angles corresponding to data.spdtfs |
'pmv' | predicted polar angular response PMVs |
'respangs' | polar response angules corresponding to data.p |
'pe' | predicted local polar RMS error in degrees |
'qe' | predicted quadrant error |
The following flags can be specified:
'plot' | Plot the output of the experiment. This is the default. |
'no_plot' | Don't plot, only return data. |
'fig12' | Reproduce Fig. 12: DTFs of median SP (left ear). Left: NH12. Center: NH58. Right: NH33. Brightness: Spectral magnitude. |
'fig13' | Reproduce Fig. 13: Listener's localization performance for non-individualized versus individualized DTFs. Bars: Individualized DTFs. Circles: Non-individualized DTFs averaged over 16 DTF sets. Error bars: ±1 standard deviation of the average. Horizontal line: Chance performance corresponding to guessing the direction of the sound. |
'fig14' | Reproduce Fig. 14: Bars: Increase in localization errors when listening to a binaural recording created with the DTFs from NH58. Asterisk: Difference between actual (experiment) and predicted performance when listening to individualized DTFs. Horizontal lines: chance performance corresponding to guessing the direction of the sound. |
'fig15' | Reproduce Fig. 15: Bars: Localization performance of the pool listening to selected DTFs. Circles: DTFs from NH12. Squares: DTFs from NH58. Triangles: DTFs from NH33. |
'fig18' | Reproduce Fig. 18: Predicted response probabilities (PMVs) as a function of the amplitude panning ratio between a rear and a front loudspeaker in the same SP (lateral angle: 30 deg.). Left: Results for NH12. Center: Results for NH15. Right: Results for our pool of listeners. Circle: Maximum of a PMV. Panning ratio of 0: Only front loudspeaker active. Panning ratio of 1: Only rear loudspeaker active. |
'fig19' | Reproduce Fig. 19: Prediction matrices (PMVs) for different loudspeaker spans and NH12. Left: Span of 0 deg. (single-loudspeaker reproduction, baseline). Center: Span of 30 deg. Right: Span of 60 deg. P: Predicted performance. |
'fig20' | Reproduce Fig. 20: Increase in localization errors as a function of the loudspeaker span. Circles: Averages over all listeners from the pool. Error bars: +/- 1 standard deviation of the averages. |
'fig22' | Reproduce Fig. 22: Predictions for the surround setups in the VBAP configuration. Left: 5.1 setup, panning between the loudspeakers L and LS. Center: 10.2 setup (DSX), panning from L (polar angle of 0 deg.) via LH2 (55 deg.) to LS (180 deg.) Right: 9.1 setup (Auro-3D), panning from L (0 deg.) via LH1 (34 deg.) and LSH (121 deg.) to LS (180 deg.). Desired polar angle: Continuous scale representing the VBAP across pair-wise contributing loudspeakers. All other conventions as in Fig. 18. |
'fig23' | Reproduce Fig. 23: Predictions for two modifications to the 9.1 setup (Auro 3D). Left: Original setup, loudspeakers LS and LSH at the azimuth of 110 deg. Center: LSH at the azimuth of 130 deg. Right: LS and LSH at the azimuth of 130 deg. All other conventions as in Fig. 22. |
