Hi all,
Has anyone utilized the Minimum Phase Reconstruction method for reconstructing HRIRs following the processing of HRTFs? I have encountered some difficulties with this approach in Task 1.
I used the Minimum Phase Reconstruction method to reconstruct the phase without changing the HRTF magnitudes, but the results do not pass the Stage 1 evaluation. Although the energy of the HRIR remains unchanged after reconstruction, the line-177 of the function 'barumerli2023_featureextraction' changes it. When I remove this line of code, the results pass the Stage 1 evaluation. Maybe this normalization is the problem?
The original HRIR, reconstructed HRIR, original HRTF, and reconstructed HRTF are plotted below.


If anyone has successfully used the Minimum Phase Reconstruction without encountering this issue, I would greatly appreciate your guidance on where I might be going wrong.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
Jiale Zhao
