Detailed Description

Convolves input audio (up to 64 channels) with interpolated HRTFs in the time-frequency domain, and applies optional near-field binaural filtering, as described in [1].

The HRTFs are interpolated by applying amplitude-preserving VBAP gains to the HRTF magnitude responses and inter-aural time differences (ITDs) individually, before being re-combined. The example also allows the user to specify an external SOFA file for the convolution, and rotations of the source directions to accomodate head-tracking.

Function Documentation

◆ binauraliserNF_create()

void binauraliserNF_create ( void **const phBin )

Creates an instance of the binauraliser.

Parameters

[in] phBin (&) address of binauraliserNF handle

Examples: binauraliser_nf.h.

Definition at line 41 of file binauraliser_nf.c.

◆ binauraliserNF_destroy()

void binauraliserNF_destroy ( void **const phBin )

Destroys an instance of the binauraliser.

Parameters

[in] phBin (&) address of binauraliser handle

Examples: binauraliser_nf.h.

Definition at line 142 of file binauraliser_nf.c.

◆ binauraliserNF_getFarfieldHeadroom()

float binauraliserNF_getFarfieldHeadroom ( void *const hBin )

Returns the scaling factor to give the far field threshold headroom (useful for UI range limits)

Examples: binauraliser_nf.h.

Definition at line 425 of file binauraliser_nf.c.

◆ binauraliserNF_getFarfieldThresh_m()

float binauraliserNF_getFarfieldThresh_m ( void *const hBin )

Returns the distance considered to be the far field (beyond which no near field filtering is applied), in METERS.

Examples: binauraliser_nf.h.

Definition at line 418 of file binauraliser_nf.c.

◆ binauraliserNF_getNearfieldLimit_m()

float binauraliserNF_getNearfieldLimit_m ( void *const hBin )

Returns the minimum distance possible for near field filter, in METERS.

Examples: binauraliser_nf.h.

Definition at line 432 of file binauraliser_nf.c.

◆ binauraliserNF_getSourceDist_m()

float binauraliserNF_getSourceDist_m	(	void *const	hBin,
		int	index )

Returns the source elevation for a given index, in METERS.

Parameters

[in]	hBin	binauraliserNF handle
[in]	index	source index

Examples: binauraliser_nf.h.

Definition at line 411 of file binauraliser_nf.c.

◆ binauraliserNF_init()

void binauraliserNF_init	(	void *const	hBin,
		int	samplerate )

Initialises an instance of binauraliser with default settings.

Warning: This should not be called while _process() is on-going!

Parameters

[in]	hBin	binauraliserNF handle
[in]	samplerate	Host samplerate.

Examples: binauraliser_nf.h.

Definition at line 178 of file binauraliser_nf.c.

◆ binauraliserNF_initCodec()

void binauraliserNF_initCodec ( void *const hBin )

Intialises the codec variables, based on current global/user parameters.

Note: This function is fully threadsafe. It can even be called periodically via a timer on one thread, while calling _process() on another thread. Since, if a set function is called (that warrants a re-init), then a flag is triggered internally and the next time this function is called, it will wait until the current process() function has completed before reinitialising the relevant parameters. If the _initCodec() takes longer than the time it takes for process() to be called again, then process() is simply bypassed until the codec is ready.; This function does nothing if no re-initialisations are required.

Parameters

[in] hBin binauraliser handle

Examples: binauraliser_nf.h.

Definition at line 193 of file binauraliser_nf.c.

◆ binauraliserNF_process()

void binauraliserNF_process	(	void *const	hBin,
		const float const	inputs,
		float const	outputs,
		int	nInputs,
		int	nOutputs,
		int	nSamples )

Binauralises the input signals at the user specified directions.

Parameters

[in]	hBin	binauraliserNF handle
[in]	inputs	Input channel buffers; 2-D array: nInputs x nSamples
[in]	outputs	Output channel buffers; 2-D array: nOutputs x nSamples
[in]	nInputs	Number of input channels
[in]	nOutputs	Number of output channels
[in]	nSamples	Number of samples in 'inputs'/'output' matrices

Examples: binauraliser_nf.h.

Definition at line 229 of file binauraliser_nf.c.

◆ binauraliserNF_processFD()

void binauraliserNF_processFD	(	void *const	hBin,
		const float const	inputs,

Alternate version of binauraliserNF_process() that performs frequency-domain DVF filtering.

Not used but kept for posterity.
