Abstract

Humans can automatically turn toward the origin of the sound that they hear through their both ears. This capability is crucial in daily life. A computer that can recognize the direction of the sound source is also useful for many types of applications. A proposed blind 2-dimensional (2D) signal direction using two recording sensors is developed under a limited space between the sensors in noise free environment. The proposed 2D source direction method is based on the time – delay estimation using maximum likelihood estimation by forming a histogram of power weighted spectrum corresponding to attenuation and time-delay index. The histogram - boundary method is also proposed which relates to a distance of the two microphones. In addition, the fine-tuned number of time-index bins were investigated to figure out the proper number of bins for the histogram. Given by a narrow space i.e. 3.2 centimeters, the proposed method can acceptably direct the sound-source position. In experimental testing on real-audio sources, the proposed method has demonstrated a higher level of directional performance compared with an existing method.
