Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Virtual sound localization is a technology that allows the user to perceive external sound sources using earphones. The exact sound image localization require an head-related transfer function (HRTF) for each listener. To solve these problems, in this study, without HRTF measurements, and are intended to acquire the equivalent of the measured individual HRTF. To do so, HRTF is approximated using the Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) model, and for the coefficient was using a method of learning by unsupervised reinforcement learning. We used dummy head imitating the upper body of the person at an initial value of the learning, then, dynamically varied from a common HRTF, aimed to acquire each individual HRTF. We were verified whether it is possible to generate the HRTF for the purpose by the simulation. Thereafter, the listener experiment was verified the HRTF localization accuracy of which acquired by the simulation.
