## Introduction
This is a simple set of C functions to read AES SOFA files, if they contain HRTFs
stored according to the AES69-2015 standard [http://www.aes.org/publications/standards/search.cfm?docID=99].

## Badges

## Compile

On Ubuntu, to install the required components, enter

> sudo apt install zlib1g-dev libcunit1-dev libcunit1-dev

Then, to compile enter following commands

> cd build

> cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

> make all test

If you need an Debian package, call

> cd build && cpack

## Usage

Libmysofa has a few main function calls.

To read a SOFA file call

```
#include <mysofa.h>

int filter_length;
int err;
struct MYSOFA_EASY *hrtf = NULL;

hrtf = mysofa_open("file.sofa", 48000, &filter_length, &err);
if(hrtf==NULL)
	return err;
```

This call will normalize your hrtf data upon opening. For non-normalized data, replace the call to mysofa_open by:

```
hrtf = mysofa_open_no_norm("file.sofa", 48000, &filter_length, &err);
```

Or for a complete control over neighbors search algorithm parameters:

```
bool norm = true; // bool, apply normalization upon import
float neighbor_angle_step = 5; // in degree, neighbor search angle step (common to azimuth and elevation)
float neighbor_radius_step = 0.01; // in meters, neighbor search radius step
hrtf = mysofa_open_advanced("file.sofa", 48000, &filter_length, &err, norm, neighbor_angle_step, neighbor_radius_step);
```

(The greater the neighbor_*_step, the faster the neighbors search. The algorithm will end up skipping true nearest neighbors if these values are set too high. To be define based on the will-be-imported sofa files grid step. Default mysofa_open method is usually fast enough for classical hrtf grids not to bother with the advanced one.)

To free the HRTF structure, call:
```
mysofa_close(hrtf);
```

If you need HRTF filter for a given coordinate, just call
```
short leftIR[filter_length];
short rightIR[filter_length];
int leftDelay;          // unit is samples
int rightDelay;         // unit is samples

mysofa_getfilter_short(hrtf, x, y, z, leftIR, rightIR, &leftDelay, &rightDelay);
```
and then delay the audio signal by leftDelay and rightDelay samples and do a FIR filtering with leftIR and rightIR. Alternative, if you are using float values for the filtering, call
```
float leftIR[filter_length]; // [-1. till 1]
float rightIR[filter_length];
float leftDelay;          // unit is sec.
float rightDelay;         // unit is sec.

mysofa_getfilter_float(hrtf, x, y, z, leftIR, rightIR, &leftDelay, &rightDelay);
```

using ``mysofa_getfilter_float_nointerp`` instead of ``mysofa_getfilter_float`` (same arguments), you can bypass the linear interpolation applied by ``mysofa_getfilter_float`` (weighted sum of nearest neighbors filters coefficients), and get the exact filter stored in the sofa file nearest to the [x,y,z] position requested.

If you have spherical coordinates but you need Cartesian coordinates, call
```
void mysofa_s2c(float values[3])
```
with phi (azimuth in degree, measured counterclockwise from the X axis), theta (elevation in degree,  measured up from the X-Y plane), and r (distance between listener and source) as parameters in the float array and x,y,z as response in the same array. Similar, call
```
void mysofa_c2s(float values[3])
```
The coordinate system is defined in the SOFA specification and is the same as in the SOFA file. Typically, the X axis vector (1 0 0) is the listening direction. The Y axis (0 1 0) is the left side of the listener and Z (0 0 1) is upwards.

Sometimes, you want to use multiple SOFA filters or if you have to open a SOFA file multiple times, you may use
```
hrtf1 = mysofa_open_cached("file.sofa", 48000, &filter_length, &err);
hrtf2 = mysofa_open_cached("file.sofa", 48000, &filter_length, &err);
hrtf3 = mysofa_open_cached("file.sofa", 8000, &filter_length, &err);
hrtf3 = mysofa_open_cached("file2.sofa", 8000, &filter_length, &err);
mysofa_close_cached(hrtf1);
mysofa_close_cached(hrtf2);
mysofa_close_cached(hrtf3);
mysofa_close_cached(hrtf4);
...
mysofa_cache_release_all();
```
Then, all HRTFs having the same filename and sampling rate are stored only once in memory. If your program is using several threads, you must use appropriate synchronisation mechanisms so only a single thread can access the mysofa_open_cached and mysofa_close_cached functions at a given time.

## OS support

Libmysofa compiles for Linux operating systems, OSX and Windows. By default, each commit is compiled with Travis CI under Ubuntu 14.04 and OSX 7.3 and with AppVeyor for Windows Visual Studio 2015 on a x64 system. In addition, FFmpeg is compiling libmysofa with MinGW under Windows using their own build system.
