%BAUMGARTNER2014_COMPARISONPROCESS Comparison with direction-specific templates
%   Usage:     sigma = baumgartner2014_comparisonprocess(tar,tem)
%
%   Input parameters:
%     tar     : internal representation(s) of target profile(s)
%     tem     : internal templates
%
%   Output parameters:
%     sigma   : internal distance metric
%
%   BAUMGARTNER2014_COMPARISONPROCESS(...) performs spectro-spatial
%   comparison process between internal representation of incoming sound
%   (target) and the templates of the sagittal plane
