Talk:SOFA conventions

Headphone transfer functions (HpTFs)

Measured data exist as IRs. More information on metadata and measurement setups required. Corresponding researchers contacted. Waiting for response...

Include anthropometric data (AD)

Several request received on "include AD in SOFA". But none of them could specify what actually to store. What is clear that AD stored with CIPIC are not sufficient. In ARI more AD are store than in CIPIC, but there is no proof that these AD are of any use. So?

Crosstalk cancellation filters (CTCFs)

When saving HRTFs, why not save CTCFs? Check and discuss how the representation of CTCFs differs from the representation of HRTFs. It might be that SimpleFreeFieldHRIR is sufficient and the difference between HRTFs and CTCFs is simple the interpretation. Then, a note in GLOBAL_Comment might be sufficient.

Include calibration data

• Are data available?
• Is a description of the measurement setup available?
• What metadata should be stored?
• How to standardize the description of the calibration?

Include room pictures

• Are data available?
• Is a description of the measurement setup available?
• What metadata should be stored?
• How to standardize the description of the pictures (camera position, room description)? There is FITS for astronomy maybe we can learn from this format?
