of Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of the University of Florida in Partial Ful llment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy A NEUROMORPHIC MICROPHONE FOR SOUND LOCALIZATION By Chiang-Jung Pu May 1998 Chairman: Dr. John Harris Major Department: Electrical and Computer Engineering Despite many decades of research in human sound localization, exactly how humans c...

The process or activity of accurately ascertaining blind's position and planning and following a route in an internal system. Source Localization has been one of the frank setbacks in countless spans, encompassing sonar, radar, teleconferencing or videoconferencing mobile phone locale discovering exploration and globe positioning arrangements localization of earthquake epicenters and undergroun...

Determining the location of a sound source is crucial for survival. Both predators and prey usually produce sound while moving, revealing valuable information about their presence and location. Animals have thus evolved morphological and neural adaptations allowing precise sound localization. Mammals rely on the temporal and amplitude differences between the sound signals arriving at their two ...

Accurate localization of multiple sound sources is indispensable for the microphone array-based high quality sound capture. For single sound source localization, the CSP (Cross-power Spectrum Phase analysis) method has been proposed. The CSP method localizes a sound source as a crossing point of sound directions estimated using di erent microphone pairs. However, when localizing multiple sound ...
