In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for the approximation of high order FIR filters by low order IIR filters to efficient implementing two channel 3-D surround sound systems using Head-related transfer functions(HRTFs). The algorithm is based on a concept of the balanced model reduction. The binaural sounds using the approximated HRTFs are reproduced by headphone, and serves as a cue of sound image localization. HRTFs of dummy-head are approximated from 512-order FIR filters by 32-order IIR filters and compare with each other. .Experiment of sound image are carried out for 10 participants. We perform the experiment based on computer simulation and hardware experiment with TMS320C32. The results of the experiments show that the localization using the approximated HRTFs is the same accuracy as the case of FIR filters that simulate the HRTFs.

입체음향 시스템의 방향감 제어에서 필수적인 머리전달함수(Head-Related Transfer Function)는 일반적으로 FIR 또는 IIR 필터로 구현되며, IIR 필터의 경우 FIR 보다 비교적 저차 모델링이 가능한 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 Balanced Model Reduction(BMR) 방법을 이용하여 비교적 높은 차수를 가지는 FIR 형태의 HRTF 필터를 IIR 필터로 설계하고, 입체음향 시스템의 실시간 구현시 필수적인 계산의 효율을 높이는 방법을 제시한다. 또한 IIR 필터로 근사화된 HRTF 필터의 주파수 패턴을 분석하여, 음상정위에 큰 영향을 미치는 주파수 대역을 좀 더 나은 해상도를 갖도록 설계하여 저차 모델 설계시 발생하는 오차가 음상정위에 미치는 영향을 최소화 하였다.
