Abstract

A near-field Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) data set measured on a KEMAR head and torso simulator with high distance resolution and multiple elevations is presented. The measurement used a continuously moving sound source and adaptive filtering, allowing efficient acquisition of near-field HRTFs. HRTFs were measured at 83448 spatial points in a range of distances from 0.2 m to 1.1 m, elevations from -25°to 35°, and azimuths from 0°to 355°. Notably, the distance resolution of the HRTF data set is 1 cm, higher than that of all existing public near-field HRTF databases. The reliability of the presented data set was confirmed by objective assessment. The data set enables extensive exploration of distance-dependent variation in near-field HRTFs and is beneficial for applications of binaural rendering of nearby sound sources.
