Vehicle Counting and Moving Direction Identification Based on Small-Aperture Microphone Array

چکیده
The varying trend of a moving vehicle's angles provides much important intelligence for an unattended ground sensor (UGS) monitoring system. The present study investigates the capabilities of a small-aperture microphone array (SAMA) based system to identify the number and moving direction of vehicles travelling on a previously established route. In this paper, a SAMA-based acoustic monitoring system, including the system hardware architecture and algorithm mechanism, is designed as a single node sensor for the application of UGS. The algorithm is built on the varying trend of a vehicle's bearing angles around the closest point of approach (CPA). We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method with our designed SAMA-based monitoring system in various experimental sites. The experimental results in harsh conditions validate the usefulness of our proposed UGS monitoring system.

The differential microphone array (DMA) becomes more and more popular recently. In this paper, we derive the relationship between the direction-of-arrival (DoA) and DMA’s frequencyindependent beampatterns. The derivation demonstrates that the DoA can be yielded by solving a trigonometric polynomial. Taking the dipoles as a special case of this relationship, we propose three methods to estimate ...
