A Bayesian Binaural System for 3D Sound-Source Localisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this text we present a Bayesian system of auditory localisation in distance, azimuth and elevation using binaural cues only. We describe its supporting sensor model and calibration procedure. The binaural system is also integrated in a spatial representation framework for multimodal perception of 3D structure and motion — the Bayesian Volumetric Map (BVM). This solution will enable the implementation of an active perception system with great potential in applications as diverse as social robots or even robotic navigation.

Biomimetic Binaural Sound Source Localisation with Ego-Noise Cancellation
This paper presents a spiking neural network (SNN) for binaural sound source localisation (SSL). The cues used for SSL were the interaural time (ITD) and level (ILD) differences. ITDs and ILDs were extracted with models of the medial superior olive (MSO) and the lateral superior olive (LSO). The MSO and LSO outputs were integrated in a model of the inferior colliculus (IC). The connection weigh...
متن کاملExploiting top-down source models to improve binaural localisation of multiple sources in reverberant environments
Relatively few systems for machine hearing exploit top-down information in source localisation, despite there being clear evidence for top-down (e.g., attentional) effects in biological spatial hearing. This paper addresses this issue by proposing a framework for binaural sound localisation that exploits topdown knowledge about the source spectral characteristics in the acoustic scene. Informat...
متن کاملBinaural sound source localisation and tracking using a dynamic spherical head model
This paper introduces a binaural model for the localisation and tracking of a moving sound source’s azimuth in the horizontal plane. The model uses a nonlinear state space representation of the sound source dynamics including the current position of the listener’s head. The state is estimated via an unscented Kalman Filter by comparing the interaural level and time differences of the binaural s...
متن کاملA biologically inspired spiking neural network model of the auditory midbrain for sound source localisation
This paper proposes a spiking neural network (SNN) of the mammalian subcortical auditory pathway to achieve binaural sound source localisation. The network is inspired by neurophysiological studies on the organisation of binaural processing in the medial superior olive (MSO), lateral superior olive (LSO) and the inferior colliculus (IC) to achieve a sharp azimuthal localisation of a sound sourc...
متن کاملMultiple Sound Source Localisation in Reverberant Environments Inspired by the Auditory Midbrain
This paper proposes a spiking neural network (SNN) of the mammalian auditory midbrain to achieve binaural multiple sound source localisation. The network is inspired by neurophysiological studies on the organisation of binaural processing in the medial superior olive (MSO), lateral superior olive (LSO) and the inferior colliculus (IC) to achieve a sharp azimuthal localisation of sound sources o...
