Realization of Algorithm for Wideband Sound Source Localization in Video Monitoring System

Abstract:

Video security monitoring has become the focus of social research and development; however, since the camera cannot automatically rotate, there is a blind spot in traditional security monitoring. Considering the abnormal often happens accompanied by corresponding sounds (e.g., where there is an explosion , there will be the sound of explosions), therefore, for compensating the blind spot , the auditory function can be added to the camera to track the direction of sound source automatically which requires the two-dimensional (2-D) localization of sound source to complete , at the mean time , the localization algorithm should be capable of tracking all of the source signals ,as well as be real-time to make the video tracking to be achieved by turning the camera toward sound source timely. This paper realizes the localization of wideband speech signal in video monitoring by using modern signal processing method, linear microphone array, positioning thought based on time delay estimation, frequency domain transform, and spectrum-search method based on energy value. Both the early simulation and late DSP-based embedded system platform have verified the feasibility of the method.
