System and method for capturing an image of the pinna and using the pinna image to characterize human auditory anatomy

摘要

An image of the pinna is captured. Based on the pinna image, a non-linear transfer function characterizing how the sound is converted at the pinna is determined. One signal is an output that indicates one or more audio cues to facilitate spatial location of the sound through the pinna. Here, the one or more audio cues are based on a non-linear transfer function.
