Abstract
In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient method of compensating temperature for the transaural stereo. The conventional method can be used to estimate the change in impulse responses caused by the fluctuation of temperature with high accuracy. However, the large amount of computation required makes real-time implementation difficult. Focusing on the fact that the amount of compensation depends on the length of the impulse response, we reduce the computation required by segmenting the impulse response. We segment the impulse responses in the time domain and estimate the effect of temperature fluctuation for each of the segments. By joining the processed segments, we obtain the compensated impulse response of the whole length. Experimental results show that the proposed method can reduce the computation required by a factor of nine without degradation of the accuracy.
