Mesh2HRTF_API

Functions for processing input for Mesh2HRTF and output from Mesh2HRTF are contained in the Mesh2HRTF API. It is currently available for Python and Matlab/Octave. The functions have identical names in both cases.

The Python functions are documented here. They currently contain more functionality and offer a better modularization. The Matlab functions are documented through their headers. Here is a brief overview of the API (x: not available)

Function	Purpose	Python	Matlab	Comment
output2hrtf	compute HRTFs/HRIRs from NumCalc output	x	x
reference_hrtf	Reference HRTF to sound pressure at center of head	x		part of output2hrtf in Matlab API
compute_hrir	Compute HRIRs from HRTFs	x		part of output2hrtf in Matlab API
outputs2hrtfs	as output2hrtf, but can handle multiple projects	x	x
outputs2trash	Delete NumCalc output (can be large)	x		Part of outputs2hrtfs in the Matlab API
write_output_report	Check and report computation time and errors in the NumCalc output	x	x
inspect_sofa_files	Plot final HRTFs/HRIRs	x		Can be done with SOFA API in Matlab
merge_sofa_files	Merge SOFA files from multiple projects	x	x
num_alc_manager	Automatic close to optimal parallelization of NumCalc calculations	x
run_numcalc_manager	Script version of numcalc_manager that can be run from the command line	x
read_evaluation_grid	Read evaluation grid	x	x
write_evaluation_grid	Write evaluation grid	x	x
write_material	Write acoustic boundary condition to material file	x	x
output2vtk	Export pressure on 3D mesh for visualization in ParaView	x	x
ncdata2vtk	Export pressure on the evaluation grid for visualization in ParaView		x	Can partly be done with inspect_sofa_files in Python
