Explanations for this webpage
In this webpage, you can download a source code to calculate a mathematical transfer function between an incident point source and a point of outer-surface of a spheroid (assumed to be an ear position). Provided transfer function can be used for a spheroidal head model, and spheroid is under a condition of rigid boundary. You can calculate spheroidal HRTF by using ¡°spheroidal_HRTF.m¡±. the input parameters are as flows.



Example) You can calculate spheroidal HRTF by following commend

H = spheroid_HRTF(0.1, 30, 1000, 0.0001, 0.15, -0.136, 98.7085, 1);

In this case, a point source is located at the median plane, and the elevation angle is 60 degrees (frontal region). Dimensions of the head model are 20cm width and 25cm height. Backward ear offset is 15mm, and downward ear offset is 17mm

To calculate spheroidal functions, we use the source code of f2matlab open source project:
