HAUTH2020_FFTCON
Cancellation process

Program code:

function [Mixsigmin, Mixsigmax, ECparams4Opt] = hauth2020_fftcon(MixsigL,MixsigR,fc,fs,sigmadelta0,Delta0,bin_inaccuracy)
%HAUTH2020_FFTCON Cancellation process
%
%   Usage: 
%     [Mixsigmin, Mixsigmax, ECparams4Opt] = hauth2020_fftcon(MixsigL,MixsigR,fc,fs,sigmadelta0,Delta0,bin_inaccuracy)
%
%   Input parameters: 
%     MixsigL        : Left ear signal
%     MixsigR        : Right ear signal
%     fc             : center frequency of frequency channel
%     fs             : sampling frequency
%     sigmadelta0    : term to calculate binaural processing inaccuracy
%     Delta0         : term to calculate binaural processing inaccuracy
%     bin_inaccuracy : flag indicating the use of (1) binaural processing
%                      inaccuracies or (0) assuming binaural processing to be deterministic
%
%   Output parameters:
%     Mixsigmin      : EC processed signal using the minimization strategy
%     Mixsigmax      : EC processed signal using the maximization strategy
%     ECparams4Opt   : Structure containing EC parameters (Delay and Uncertainties)
%
%   First, left and right ear signal are transformed to
%   frequency domain in order to calculate the cross power spectral density.
%   By calculating the angle of the CPSD and, the frequency dependent ITD can
%   be obtained by dividing the angle by the angular frequency. In order to
%   obtain the final ITD value for the frequency band, an integration window
%   derived from the absolute value of the CPSD is applied.
