Abstract

Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) are signal processing models that represent the modifications undergone by the acoustic signal as it interacts with the listener´s body. HRTFs can be used to generate binaural sound as they contain all the information about the sound source´s location. This paper describes a database of head-related transfer functions based on ear/head measurements measured at the FIU DSP Lab. HRTF data from 15 subjects at 12 different azimuths and 6 different elevations are included. This database also includes 3-D images of the subject´s pinnae (outer ears). Anthropometric measurements of the various parts of the pinna are included.
