NIIRF: Neural IIR Filter Field for HRTF Upsampling and Personalization
ICASSP 2024 - 2024 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)(2024)
Abstract
Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are important for immersive audio,
and their spatial interpolation has been studied to upsample finite
measurements. Recently, neural fields (NFs) which map from sound source
direction to HRTF have gained attention. Existing NF-based methods focused on
estimating the magnitude of the HRTF from a given sound source direction, and
the magnitude is converted to a finite impulse response (FIR) filter. We
propose the neural infinite impulse response filter field (NIIRF) method that
instead estimates the coefficients of cascaded IIR filters. IIR filters mimic
the modal nature of HRTFs, thus needing fewer coefficients to approximate them
well compared to FIR filters. We find that our method can match the performance
of existing NF-based methods on multiple datasets, even outperforming them when
measurements are sparse. We also explore approaches to personalize the NF to a
subject and experimentally find low-rank adaptation to be effective.
