Abstract

It is necessary to construct head-related transfer function database for rendering and studying three dimensional audio. For this reason, many research groups have tried to develop a HRTF measurement system and to construct a HRTF database for their research. Even though there are various HRTF databases, there is no database with anthropometry in public domain aimed at Koreans even if the HRTFs vary based on physical shapes of subjects. Because Koreans hear three dimensional sound rendered by HRTF database based on Caucasians, performance of three dimensional sound might be hindered. To verify this possibility and remedy the drawbacks of established HRTF database, construction of new HRTF database aimed at Korean is needed. For constructing HRTF database, new HRTF measuring system using sine sweep signal was developed and the HRTFs for 10 subjects at 49 different elevation and 36 different azimuths at 5angular increments were measured. By using measured HRTFs, the HRTFs aimed at Koreans were compared with CIPIC HRTF database and analyzed.
