A Real-Time Multiple Acoustic Sources Localization Method Using Widely Spaced Microphone Array

Article Preview

Abstract:

A real-time disambiguous localization method for multiple acoustic sources using widely spaced microphone array is proposed in this paper. The observation signals in each frame are firstly discriminated utilizing conventional energy-based sound detection measurement. Using inter-microphone phase differences (IPD), as well as an iterative cluster process, the DOAs of sources can be estimated while the phase wrapping ambiguity in conventional DUET is avoided.
