DIETZ2011 - Dietz 2011 binaural model
Program code:
function [fine,fc,ild,env] = dietz2011(insig,fs,varargin)
%DIETZ2011 Dietz 2011 binaural model
% Usage: [fine,fc,ild,env] = dietz2011(insig,fs);
%
% Input parameters:
% insig : binaural signal for which values should be calculated
% fs : sampling rate (Hz)
%
% Output parameters:
% fine : Information about the fine structure (see below)
% fc : center frequencies of gammatone filterbank
% ild : interaural level difference in dB
% env : Information about the envelope (see below)
%
% DIETZ2011(insig,fs) calculates interaural phase, time and level
% differences of fine- structure and envelope of the signal, as well as
% the interaural coherence, which can be used as a weighting function.
%
% The output structures fine and env have the following fields:
% itf : transfer function
% ipd : phase difference in rad
% itd : interaural time difference based on instantaneous frequency
% itd_C : interaural time difference based on center frequency
% f_inst_1 : instantaneous frequencies of left ear signal
% f_inst_2 : instantaneous frequencies of right ear canal signal
% f_inst : instantaneous frequencies (average of f_inst1 and 2)
% ic : interaural coherence
% rms : rms value of frequency channels for weighting
% ild_lp : based on low passed-filtered insig, level difference in dB
% ipd_lp : based on lowpass-filtered itf, phase difference in rad
% itd_lp : based on lowpass-filtered itf, interaural time difference
% itd_C_lp : based on lowpass-filtered itf, interaural time difference
% f_inst_lp : lowpass instantaneous frequencies
%
% The _lp values are not returned if the 'nolowpass' flag is set.
%
% The steps of the binaural model to calculate the result are the
% following (see also Dietz et al., 2011):
%
% 1) Middle ear filtering (500-2000 Hz 1st order bandpass)
%
% 2) Auditory bandpass filtering on the basilar membrane using a
% 4th-order all-pole gammatone filterbank, employing 23 filter
% bands between 200 and 5000 Hz, with a 1 ERB spacing. The filter
% width was set to correspond to 1 ERB.
%
% 3) Cochlear compression was simulated by power-law compression with
% an exponent of 0.4.
%
% 4) The transduction process in the inner hair cells was modelled
% using half-wave rectification followed by filtering with a 770-Hz
% 5th order lowpass.
%
% 5) Modulationfilterbank with three different filters applied to every
% frequency channel. One 2nd order gammatone filter for the fine structure
% centered at the center frequency of the frequency channel. One 2nd order
% gammatone filter for the envelope of the signal centered at 135 Hz.
% And a 2nd order lowpass filter with a cutoff frequency of 30 Hz to
% extract the ILD of the signal.
%
% 6) Calculation of binaural parameters such as IPD, ITD, IC for fine
% structure and envelope filter signals and ILD for the ILD filter.
%
%
