Sound Source Localization

In the estimation of time delay, there always would not appear obvious peak with the basic cross-correlation (CC). In order to solve the problem of the basic cross-correlation method, this essay represents an improved time delay estimation method based on the generalized cross-correlation (GCC) and combines with the microphone array structure to achieve sound source localization. Finally, the simulation results show that this method could measure the sound source’s location accurately with noise and reverberation, and the distance positioning error is less than 10cm, the direction angle error is below 3°.

To reduce the negative effect on sound source localization when the source is at an extreme angle and improve localization precision and stability, a theoretical model of a three-plane five-element microphone array is established, using time-delay values to judge the sound source’s quadrant position. Corresponding judgment criteria were proposed, solving the problem in which a single-plane array easily blurs the measured position. Based on sound source geometric localization, a formula for the sound source azimuth calculation of a single-plane five-element microphone array was derived. The sinusoids and cosines of two elevation angles based on two single-plane arrays were introduced into the sound source spherical coordinates as composite weighted coefficients, and a sound source localization fusion algorithm based on a three-plane five-element microphone array was proposed. The relationship between the time-delay estimation error, elevation angle, horizontal angle, and microphone array localization performance was discussed, and the precision and stability of ranging and direction finding were analyzed. The results show that the measurement precision of the distance from the sound source to the array center and the horizontal angle are improved one to threefold, and the measurement precision of the elevation angle is improved one to twofold. Although there is a small error, the overall performance of the sound source localization is stable, reflecting the advantages of the fusion algorithm.

The time delay estimation algorithm based on generalized cross correlation, can suppress the noise power effectively. More accurate result can be gotten by this method of time delay estimation. It is proved by simulation and experimentation that the estimated value of time delay given by generalized cross correlation method is more accurate than which is given by basic correlation method when the signal and noise ratio is stationary, thus the location result based on the time delay is more accurate.

Pyramid Structure

A sound source localization device based on a multimicrophone array with the rectangular pyramid structure is proposed for mobile robot in some indoor applications. Firstly, a time delay estimation method based on the cross-power spectral phase algorithm and a fast search strategy of peak value based on the geometric distribution of microphones are developed to estimate the sound propagation delay differences between two microphones. Moreover, a rejection strategy is presented to evaluate the correctness of the delay difference values. And then, the device’s geometric equations based on the time-space mapping relationship are established to calculate the position of the sound source. For fast solving the equations, the multimicrophone array space is divided into several subspaces to narrow the solution range, and Newton iteration algorithm is introduced to solve the equations, while its solution is evaluated by an evaluation mechanism based on coordinate thresholds. Finally, some experiments are carried out to verify the performance of the device, of which the results show that the device can achieve sound source localization with a high accuracy.
