Unsupervised Geometry Calibration of Acoustic Sensor Networks Using Source Correspondences
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a procedure for estimating the geometric configuration of an arbitrary acoustic sensor placement. It determines the position and the orientation of microphone arrays in 2D while locating a source by direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation. Neither artificial calibration signals nor unnatural user activity are required. The problem of scale indeterminacy inherent to DoA-only observations is solved by adding time difference of arrival (TDoA) measurements. The geometry calibration method is numerically stable and delivers precise results in moderately reverberated rooms. Simulation results are confirmed by laboratory experiments.

Three Dimensional Localization of an Unknown Target Using Two Heterogeneous Sensors
Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks consist of some different types of sensor nodes deployed in a particular area. Different sensor types can measure different quantity of a source and using the combination of different measurement techniques, the minimum number of necessary sensors is reduced in localization problems. In this paper, we focus on the single source localization in a heterogene...

This paper describes sensor calibration and signal analysis techniques applicable to the method of acoustic emission (AE) and ultrasonic testing. They are particularly useful for obtaining absolute measurements of AE wave amplitude and shape, which can be used to constrain the physics and mechanics of the AE source.

متن کاملSelf-calibration of Unattended Ground Sensor Networks
We present an algorithm for locating and orienting a set of acoustic arrays that have been deployed in a scene at unknown locations and orientation angles. This self-calibration problem is solved using a number of source signals also deployed in the scene. We assume each array can estimate the time-of-arrival and direction-of-arrival (with respect to the array’s local orientation coordinates) o...
