Algorithms for Acoustic Source Orientation Based on Microphone Array in Robot Audition

Article Preview

Abstract:

Acoustic source orientation is an important feature in robot audition. This paper applied a spatial cone six-element (SCSE) microphone array and combined with the time difference of arrival (TDOA) between pairs of spatial separated microphones to estimate acoustic source orientation. Simulate three stages of the acoustic orientation process in a real indoor environment, and results show that the algorithm is simple and effective, reducing the amount of calculation, having anti-noise and reverberation ability to meet the requirements of orientation accuracy.
