Pinna-related transfer functions and lossless wave equation using finite-difference methods: Validation with measurements.

Nowadays, wave-based simulations of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) lack strong justifications to replace HRTF measurements. The main cause is the complex interactions between uncertainties and biases in both simulated and measured HRTFs. This paper deals with the validation of pinna-related high-frequency information in the ipsilateral directions-of-arrival, computed by lossless wave-based simulations with finite-difference models.
