چکیده

This paper presents multiple moving speaker tracking using an 8ch microphone array system installed on a mobile robot. We use a set of Kalman filters with different history lengths in order to track non-linear movements of multiple speakers. For quantitative evaluation of the tracking, motion references of sound sources and a mobile robot, called SIG2, were measured accurately by ultrasonic 3D tag sensors. As a result, we showed that the system tracked three simultaneous sound sources even when SIG2 moved.

Multiple moving speaker tracking by microphone array on mobile robot

Real-world applications often require tracking multiple moving speakers for improving human-robot interactions and/or sound source separation. This paper presents multiple moving speaker tracking using an 8ch microphone array system installed on a mobile robot. This problem is difficult because the system does not assume that sound sources and/or the microphone array are fixed. Our solutions co...

Fixed-point FPGA Implementation of a Kalman Filter for Range and Velocity Estimation of Moving Targets

Tracking filters are extensively used within object tracking systems in order to provide consecutive smooth estimations of position and velocity of the object with minimum error. Namely, Kalman filter and its numerous variants are widely known as simple yet effective linear tracking filters in many diverse applications. In this paper, an effective method is proposed for designing and implementa...

A 3D Feature-Based Tracker for Tracking Multiple Moving Objects with a Controlled Binocular Head

Object tracking is an important task for active vision and robotics. This paper presents a 3D feature-based tracker for tracking multiple moving objects with a computer-controlled binocular head. Our tracker operates in two phases: an initialization phase and a tracking phase. In the initial-ization phase, correspondence between 2D features in the first stereo image pair is determined reliably ...

Tracking Multiple Speakers with Probabilistic Data Association Filters

In prior work, we developed a speaker tracking system based on an extended Kalman filter using time delays of arrival (TDOAs) as acoustic features. In particular, the TDOAs comprised the observation associated with an iterated extended Kalman filter (IEKF) whose state corresponds to the speaker position. In other work, we followed the same approach to develop a system that could use both audio ...

This paper presents a 3D feature-based tracker for tracking multiple moving objects using a computercontrolled binocular head. Our tracker operates in two phases: an initialization phase and a tracking phase. In the initialization phase, correspondence between 2D features in the first stereo image pair is determined reliably using the epipolar line constraint and mutually-supported consistency....
