This paper presents an efficient and robust way to select<br \/>\na minimal set of HRTFs and to calculate appropriate weights for<br \/>\ninterpolation. The proposed method is based on grouping HRTF<br \/>\nmeasurement points into non-overlapping triangles on the surface<br \/>\nof a sphere by calculating the convex hull. The resulting Delaunay<br \/>\ntriangulation maximises minimum angles. For interpolation,<br \/>\nthe HRTF triangle that is intersected by the desired sound source<br \/>\nvector is selected. The selection is based on a point-in-triangle<br \/>\ntest than can be performed using just 9 multiplications and 6 additions<br \/>\nper triangle. A further improvement of the selection process<br \/>\nis achieved by sorting the HRTF triangles according to their distance<br \/>\nfrom the sound source vector prior to performing the pointin-<br \/>\ntriangle tests. The HRTFs of the selected triangle are interpolated<br \/>\nusing weights derived from vector-base amplitude panning,<br \/>\nwith appropriate normalisation. The proposed method is compared<br \/>\nto state-of-the-art methods. It is shown to be robust with respect to<br \/>\nirregularities in the HRTF measurement grid and to be well-suited<br \/>\nfor rendering moving virtual sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A variety of approaches have been proposed previously to interpolate head-related transfer functions (HRTFs).
