Patent ID: 11849300

Abstract:
A head-related transfer function, HRTF, dataset modification system, the system including an HRTF identifying unit operable to identify a first HRTF from an HRTF dataset, a filter generating unit operable to generate a filter in dependence upon the first HRTF, and an HRTF modification unit operable to modify the first HRTF by applying the generated filter to generate an output HRTF, where the generating comprises the steps of: identifying a spectral response of the first HRTF, identifying a plurality of second HRTFs within the HRTF dataset, each within a predetermined distance of the first HRTF, and a spectral response associated with each of the second HRTFs, generating an average of each of the identified spectral responses of the first and second HRTFs, and generating a filter using the inverse of this average.
