This paper provides some considerations regarding using individualized head-related transfer functions for rendering binaural spatial audio over headphones. It briefly considers the degree of benefit that individualization may provide. It then examines the degree of variation existing within the ear…
This paper describes features in the ear shape that change across a population of ears and explores the corresponding changes in ear acoustics. The statistical analysis conducted over the space of ear shapes uses a kernel principal component analysis (KPCA). Further, it utilizes the framework of lar…
This paper describes the generation of a morphable model for external ear shapes. The aim for the morphable model is to characterize an ear shape using only a few parameters in order to assist the study of morphoacoustics. The model is derived from a statistical analysis of a population of 58 ears f…
