Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) It is crucially important to reproduce accurate auditory spatial information around listeners for development and enrichment of advanced multimedia communications systems. We have focused on the importance of the auditory spatial information and developed binaural synthesis method combinedly using spherical microphone arrays and head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) datasets. In this report, two types of general formulations for such a class of methods are presented. We also introduce our original binaural synthesis method named SENZI (Symmetrical object with ENchased ZIllion microphones) and real-time SENZI system using 252ch spherical microphone array. Finally, horizontal-plane distance-varying filters (DVFs) to synthesize the HRTFs for arbitrary sound source positions on the horizontal plane from initial HRTFs are introduced.
