Abstract:
A numerical method for calculating the head-related transfer function (HRTF) of the Chinese dummy head BHead210 is studied. With the Chinese dummy head BHead210, a structured light scanner is used to obtain its three dimensional data and then the boundary element method is used to calculate its HRTF. The calculation results with a rigid simple sphere model verify its correctness. The comparison results of the numerical calculation and those obtained by acoustic measurement are given. The Interaural Time Difference and Interaural Level Difference curves, different source-distance of HRTF amplitude spectrum are given too. The HRTF of the BHead21 is also compared to those of KEMAR reported by CIPIC.
