The "Image Assistant 2.1" is an interactive JAVA Applet that calculates the localization curves of arbitrary 2- and 3-channel stereo microphone configurations. 

Take a look at the theoretic basis (German) of the Image Assistant (background information about the psychoacoustical and mathematical fundamentals of the localization curves). Note that now the APP "Image Assistant 3" Beta exists that exceeds the capabilities of this JAVA Applet.

Instructions for the use of the applet

For the applet, a Java runtime needs to be installed. I'm sorry that the JAVA security guidelines block the execution of the applet for some systems. 
 
Input parameters:

Microphone configuration: yellow box at the top left

Base B spacing between microphones L and R
height h spacing between the Base B and microphone C
epsilon angle between microphone L or R and the central symmetry axis
distance distance of the sound sources

Mic L

polar pattern of microphone L
Mic C polar pattern of microphone C
Mic R polar pattern of microphone R
Configuration Presets, both for 2ch and 3ch setups
Button "animate" shows graphical simulation of the microphone setup geometry
Button "set" shows popup window to change the time offsets of the microphone channels

Navigation area: green box on the right

Radio buttons
"2 Mics/3 Mics"
Choice between L/R setup (2 Mics) and L/C/R setup (3 Mics)
Show Localization shows localization curves on the main axis,
checkboxes for choosing the curves
Signal Relationships shows signal relationships (Delta t and Delta L) on the main axis
Signal differences shows signal differences (Delta t and Delta L) on the main axis, radio buttons for chosing the analyzed loudspeaker pair

Loudspeaker configuration: blue box at the top right

base width spacing between loudspeaker L and R
Setup location of the loudspeaker C
 Listen Presets for the listening position
vertical offset distance between the sweet spot and the listening position (front/back)
horizontal offset distance between the sweet spot and the listening position (left/right)

Legend: yellow box on the bottom right: depicts the graphs shown in the main window

Main window: shows the graphs
