Background: Spatial audio interfaces typically require HRTF data sets to generate the spatialized auditory stimuli. HRTF measurement is accomplished using a variety of techniques that can require several nearly arbitrary decisions about methodology. The effects of these choices upon the resulting spatial audio interface are unclear. Method: Sixteen participants completed a sound localization task that included real-world, broadband stimuli spatialized at eight locations on the horizontal plane. Four different HRTF data sets were utilized to spatialize the stimuli: two publicly available HRTF data sets and two data sets obtained using different in-house measurement systems. All HRTFs were obtained from the Knowles Electronics Mannequin for Acoustics Research. Results: Unsigned localization error and proportion of front\/back reversals did not differ significantly across HRTF data sets. Poorest accuracy was observed in locations near the medial (front\/back) axis of the listener, mainly because of the relatively large proportions of reversals at these locations. Conclusion: This study suggests that the particular generalized HRTF data set chosen for spatialization is of minimal importance to the localizability of the resulting stimuli. Application: This result will inform the design of many spatial audio interfaces that are based upon generalized HRTFs, including wayfaring devices, communication systems, and virtual reality systems. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1518\/001872008x250700","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,17]],"date-time":"2008-04-17T02:18:40Z","timestamp":1208398720000},"page":"256-263","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Effect of Head-Related Transfer Function Measurement Methodology on Localization Performance in Spatial Audio Interfaces"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Justin A.","family":"MacDonald","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Army Research Laboratory, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland,"}]},{"given":"Phuong K.","family":"Tran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Army Research Laboratory, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","first-page":"36","volume":"1","author":"Aberson, C.","year":"2002","journal-title":"Journal of Articles in Support of the Null Hypothesis"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1518\/001872001775870368"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/ASPAA.2001.969552"},{"key":"atypb4","volume-title":"Publication manual of the American Psychological Association","author":"American PsychologicalAssociation.","year":"2001","edition":"5"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/001872089303500210"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1121\/1.1719025"},{"volume-title":"Spatial hearing","year":"1997","author":"Blauert, J.","key":"atypb7"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1518\/001872001775900887"},{"volume-title":"Proceedings of the 2001 IEEE Workshop on the Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics","author":"Brungart, D.S.","key":"atypb9"},{"key":"atypb10","first-page":"1163","volume":"51","author":"Chen, F.","year":"2003","journal-title":"Journal of the Audio Engineering Society"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1121\/1.1907229"},{"key":"atypb12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1518\/001872095779064573"},{"key":"atypb13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0957-4271(95)02001-9"},{"volume-title":"Biostatistics: A methodology for the health sciences","year":"1998","author":"Fisher, L.D.","key":"atypb14"},{"key":"atypb15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1121\/1.412407"},{"key":"atypb16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TIT.1961.1057620"},{"key":"atypb17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/h0038813"},{"key":"atypb18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1518\/001872005774859971"},{"key":"atypb19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1467-8721.ep11512376"},{"key":"atypb20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1518\/0018720024497934"},{"key":"atypb21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1121\/1.399186"},{"key":"atypb22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0378-5955(84)90017-0"},{"key":"atypb23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1518\/001872096778827260"},{"key":"atypb24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1121\/1.399421"},{"key":"atypb25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3758\/BF03211521"},{"key":"atypb26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/001872089403600107"},{"key":"atypb27","first-page":"419","volume":"37","author":"Rife, D.D.","year":"1989","journal-title":"Journal of the Audio Engineering Society"},{"key":"atypb28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1518\/001872099779577354"},{"key":"atypb29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1121\/1.381219"},{"key":"atypb30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1518\/001872006777724507"},{"key":"atypb31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1121\/1.407089"},{"key":"atypb32","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1121\/1.397558"},{"key":"atypb33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1121\/1.404045"},{"volume-title":"Fast head related transfer function measurement via reciprocity (Computer Science and UMIACS Tech.
