  • General Description: The Viking HRTF dataset v2 is a collection of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) measured at the University of Iceland. It includes full-sphere HRTFs measured on a dense spatial grid (1513 positions) with a KEMAR mannequin with different pairs of artificial pinnae attached. The artificial pinnae were previously obtained through a custom molding procedure from different lifelike human heads (courtesy of Ernst Backman, Saga Museum Reykjavík).
    The 21 SOFA files contain the post-processed HRIRs for each different pair of artificial pinnae (files subj_A.sofa to subj_T.sofa), plus the ”pinna-less” condition (subj_Z.sofa). 3D scans of the 20 left pinna replicas are also included in the dataset as STL files (files
    subj_A.stl to subj_T.stl).
  • Methods: The Viking HRTF dataset v2 is a collection of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) which includes full-sphere HRTFs measured on a dense spatial grid (1513 positions) with a KEMAR mannequin with 20 different pairs of artificial pinnae attached, one pair at a time. The artificial pinnae were obtained through a custom molding procedure from 20 different lifelike human heads.
  • Technical Remarks: The measurement system consisted of a KEMAR mannequin mounted on a 360◦ rotating cylindrical stand and a Genelec 8020CPM-6 loudspeaker mounted on an L-shaped rotating arm.
    The scans were captured at 1 mm resolution with a Creaform Go!SCAN 20 white light scanner.
  • Data Source: acoustically measured; 3D scans
