Two-stage Localisation Scheme Using a Small-scale Linear Microphone Array for Indoor Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The small-scale linear microphone arrays that are widely found in smartphones could be used to locate a sound source for indoor environments. After the Time Differences Of Arrival (TDOAs) in microphone pairs are estimated, a TDOA-based hybrid localisation scheme is proposed for a small-scale linear microphone array. The scheme contains two stages: the initialisation stage using the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm, and the refining solution stage using the Weighted Least-Square (WLS) algorithm or the Multi-Dimensional Scalingbased (MDS) algorithm. Simulations and field tests show that the proposed indoor localisation scheme outperforms the existing schemes, and it can achieve an average error of 0·32 metres in an 8 m by 5 m area.

Feature-Based Mapping in Real, Large Scale Environments Using an Ultrasonic Array
This paper presents a strategy for achieving practical mapping navigation using a wheeled mobile robot equipped with an advanced sonar sensor. The original mapping navigation experiment, carried out with the same robot configuration, builds a feature map consisting of commonplace indoor landmarks crucial for localisation, namely planes, corners and edges. The map exhaustively maintains covarian...
متن کاملSpaciousness Rating of 8-channel Stereophony-Based Microphone Arrays
In previous studies, the localisation accuracy and the spatial impression of 3-2 stereo microphone arrays were discussed. These showed that 3-2 stereo cannot produce stable images to the side and to the rear of the listener. An octagon loudspeaker array was therefore proposed. Microphone array design for this loudspeaker configuration was studied in terms of localisation accuracy, locatedness a...
متن کاملAdaptive beamforming and soft missing data decoding for robust speech recognition in reverberant environments
This paper presents a novel approach to combine microphone array processing and robust speech recognition for reverberant multi-speaker environments. Spatial cues are extracted from a microphone array and automatically clustered to estimate localization masks in the time-frequency domain. The localization masks are then used to blindly design adaptive filters in order to enhance the source sign...
متن کاملBinaural Cues for Fragment-Based Speech Recognition in Reverberant Multisource Environments
This paper addresses the problem of speech recognition using distant binaural microphones in reverberant multisource noise conditions. Our scheme employs a two stage fragment decoding approach: first spectro-temporal acoustic source fragments are identified using signal level cues, and second, a hypothesisdriven stage simultaneously searches for the most probable speech/background fragment labe...

In this paper, we investigate the integration of two processing methods to improve speech quality for invehicle speech systems: multi-sensor beamforming and constrained iterative (Auto-LSP) speech enhancement. The intent is to establish an intelligent microphone array processing scheme in high noise environments by considering the effectiveness of a multi-sensor beamformer method and the Auto-L...
