When a personalized set of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) is not available, a common solution is identifying a perceptually appropriate substitute from a database. There are various approaches to this selection process whether based on localization cues, subjective evaluations, or anthropomorphic similarities. This study investigates whether HRTF rankings that stem from different selection methods yield comparable results. A perceptual study was carried out using a basic source localization method and a subjective quality judgment method for a common set of eight HRTFs. HRTF rankings were determined according to different metrics from each method for each subject and the respective results were compared. Results indicate a significant and positive mean correlation between certain metrics. The best HRTFs selected according to one method had significant above-average rating scores according to metrics in the second method.

直接和间接知觉头部相关传递函数选择方法的比较。

当没有一组与头部相关的传递函数（HRTF）的个性化设置时，一种常见的解决方案是从数据库中识别在感知上合适的替代方法。无论是基于定位提示，主观评估还是拟人化相似性，都有多种方法可以用于此选择过程。这项研究调查了源自不同选择方法的HRTF排名是否产生可比的结果。使用基本的源定位方法和主观质量判断方法对一组八个HRTF进行了感知研究。HRTF排名是根据每个受试者的每种方法的不同指标确定的，并比较了各自的结果。结果表明某些指标之间存在显着正相关关系。
