A novel analysis method for binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) is presented. It is based on the analysis of ear canal signals with continuous wavelet transform (CWT). Then, the crosswavelet transform (XWT) is used for detection of the direct sound and individual reflections from a BRIR. The new method seems to time-localize the reflections quite accurately. In addition, the proposed analysis method enables detailed study of the frequency content of the early reflections. The algorithm is tested with both measured and modeled impulse responses. A comparison with an FFT-based cross-spectrogram is made. The results show that XWT has potential in audio signal analysis.
