Abstract
An image of a pinna is captured. Based on the image of the pinna, a non-linear transfer function is determined which characterizes how sound is transformed at the pinna. A signal is output indicative of one or more audio cues to facilitate spatial localization of sound via the pinna, where the one or more audio cues is based on the non-linear transfer function.
