3-D HRTF interpolation

Head-related transfer function (HRTF) interpolation in azimuth, elevation, and distance

Matlab demonstration of an algorithm for interpolating distance-dependent (near-field) head-related transfer functions (HRTFs).
The interpolation is performed using barycentric weights of 4 HRTF measurements forming a tetrahedron that encloses the desired source position.
The main steps of the interpolation algorithm are:
1) Initialisation: organise HRTF measurement positions in tetrahedral mesh via Delaunay triangulation and generate an octree;

2) Source update: find a tetrahedron that encloses the desired source position (via brute-force search, or via adjacency walk with/without octree lookup);

3) Interpolation: calculate barycentric weights for linear interpolation of HRTF measurements at the vertices of the tetrahedron selected in 2)
