A method of objective-quality assessment of phantom images using a virtual listener is presented. A spherical array of microphones combined with binaural processing is used to measure attributes of a 3-dimensional sound field. The virtual listener is calibrated against human subjects in a formal experimental procedure to enable objective measurements of spatial auditory parameters to be made automatically.
