Abstract
Parametric methods for modeling the perceptually relevant features of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are very important for the development of low-cost immersive sound applications. This letter describes an efficient method based on a low-order infinite impulse response filter implemented by a chain of second order sections of conventional shelving and peak audio filters. The parameters (central frequency, gain, and quality factor) are numerically adjusted by iteratively fitting the frequency response of the filter to the desired HRTF. Besides allowing for low-order binaural models, the proposed approach provides an efficient way to synthesize HRTFs for non-measured angles by applying a simple interpolation between the parameters from neighboring responses. Additionally, the HRTF database size is significantly reduced.
