Dear list,

I'm looking for a way to get the HRTF from the HRTF opcodes. It says here
[1] where to find the ‘spectral’ HRTF data - but I am unsure what the data
file describes and in which format. My goal is, I believe, a form of
deconvolution (dividing by the frequency response of the HRTF at a certain
angle) in order to equalize an HRTF-filtered signal to cancel out the
natural HRTF that will be created due to the angle between the listener and
the loudspeaker (as described in this paper [2]. If the data cannot be
obtained from the file directly, is there a way to sample it from the opcode
(take an Impulse Response)? What would be the opcodes to best use for this
purpose? Many thanks for any help in advance!

As far as I understand, the contents is a collection of impulse
responses, measured at many points around the head used to generate the
model. Format: no idea.

If this has any chance of working, you can only undo the HRTF, if you're
signal was generated by the same HRTF model. So that means by csound
itself or by another software using exactly the same data. But even then
I'm unsure if it could work. After processing a signal by an HRTF
opcode, many different impulse responses will be applied, depending on
the signals movements. If it's a static HRTF, i.e. the signal is left
static at one point in space, you could succeed, but even then you'd
have to work out the correct angles.

I'm no expert on these matters, by I know a little about convolution.
Maybe there are some clever tricks I don't know about. So take this with
a pinch of salt.

Best wishes,

Jeanette
