Hi,
have a look to Blind Source Separation (BSS) methods, in particular in
sparsity-based methods. You can easily use them as Source Localization
techniques, as shown in [1]. Concerning the sparse BSS methods, I
recommand you to read [2-7] (the list is not exhaustive). Have also a
look to the methods using CASA (for example, the papers published
here: http://www.icassp2006.org/Papers/PublicSessionIndex3.asp?SessionID=1155)

It is assumed that we are getting left and right signals at the two
microphones as original signal that is passed through a specific HRTF
filter(both left and right)and received at two microphones.KEMAR HRTF
measurements are 710 measurements of HRTFs at different angle of azimuth
and elevation.So if we perform the convolution of left and right
microphone signals with inverse of original HRTFs(left and right),we must
get the two signals that are highly correlated.This particular HRTF which
results in highest correlation will correspond to a specific azimuth and
elevation in 3D.

I don't see how you can with 2 mics. You would need to re-orientate
them otherwise how do you get the z component? Besides that, you have
front-back ambiguity at the line that connects the two mics. Suggest
you use 4 mics and use the Spherical Intersection method. The
difficult bit is estimating delay in a reverberant room. Try the Hanan-
Thomson method of Generalised cross correlation.

Why the heck do you need hrtf ?
Are you trying to fit your mics on a dummy head ?
Just give me a break...

Which algorithm is most effective in binaural 3d sound localization in a
reverberant environment(using only two microphones)?.i have tried to
localize sound in 3d (reverberant environment) using hrtfs i.e convolving
the left and right microphones inputs (each of 512 samples) with 710
available inverse hrtfs and then correlating them.it doesnot give good
results especially the elevation estimation has high deviation.any clues
?
