Description
Virtual sound imaging systems, such as those which work on the principle of crosstalk cancellation (CTC), are often evaluated by means of localization accuracy. For crosstalk cancellation systems, high localization accuracy requires that the actual listener position is the same as the target listener position. In this paper, the inputs to a binaural localization model are varied based on the simulated effect of deviation from target position on a CTC system. The output of the model is compared to localization results from a listening test using a CTC system, revealing that the model is capable of predicting various features of listener responses, including greater variance in prediction for more lateral angles, and asymmetry of variance in left compared to right target azimuths.
