SimpleFreeFieldHRSOS
Description
The SimpleFreeFieldHRSOS
object stores SOFA data following the
SimpleFreeFieldHRSOS convention. This convention describes a spatially discrete free-field
head-related transfer function (HRTF) measurement for a single subject (a single human
listener or a mannequin head device). The measurements are made in the free field with a
single excitation source assuming an omnidirectional loudspeaker. There are two receivers
representing the ears of the subject. The measured HRTFs are represented as second-order
section (SOS) biquadratic IIR filters.
Use sofaread
and
sofawrite
to read
and write SOFA files with this convention.
Creation
Create a SimpleFreeFieldHRSOS
object using sofaconvention
.
s = sofaconvention("SimpleFreeFieldHRSOS");

Examples
Write SOS Data to SOFA File
Create a SOFA template object following the SimpleFreeFieldHRSOS convention to store measurement data as second-order section (SOS) filters.
s = sofaconvention("SimpleFreeFieldHRSOS");
Generate mock SOS data to store in the file. Use designVarSlopeFilter
to create an SOS filter to use for both receivers in a single measurement.
M = 1;
N = 4;
R = 2;
s.Numerator = zeros(M,R,N,3);
s.Denominator = zeros(M,R,N,3);
[num,den] = designVarSlopeFilter(24,.2,Orientation="row");
s.Numerator(1,1,:,:) = num;
s.Numerator(1,2,:,:) = num;
s.Denominator(1,1,:,:) = den;
s.Denominator(1,2,:,:) = den;
Save the data to a SOFA file.
sofawrite("mockSOSData.sofa",s);
More About
Spatial Data Representations
In this SOFA convention, you can represent spatial data using Cartesian or spherical coordinate systems with spatially discrete representations.
Each spatial representation stores the position data in numerical triplets (for example,
[0 0 0]
).
Cartesian coordinates contain three orthogonal linear values in the format
[x y z]
. The units of the values are meters.Spherical coordinates contain angular values for azimuth and elevation and a linear value for the radius in the format
[azimuth elevation radius]
. The azimuth angle, in degrees, must be in the range [0, 360). The elevation angle, in degrees, must be in the range [-90, 90]. The units of the linear radius are meters.
