A Bayesian Approach for Sound Source Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this study is to equip a mobile service robot with an ability to navigate to the human who commands the robot by speech. Based on time delay of arrival (TDOA) features, a Bayesian approach to sound source direction estimation is proposed. The method requires low computational complexity and is feasible for real-time robot navigation. Based on an experiment with various parameter settings in an indoor environment, different factors that affect the classification accuracy have been analyzed. The experiment results have illustrated that the proposed Bayesian method outperforms both that of the Microsoft Kinect sensor and the trigonometric approach in terms of classification accuracy.

A Note on Evolutionary Rate Estimation in Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis: Focus on Pathogens
Bayesian evolutionary analysis provide a statistically sound and flexible framework for estimation of evolutionary parameters. In this method, posterior estimates of evolutionary rate (μ) are derived by combining evolutionary information in the data with researcher’s prior knowledge about the true value of μ. Nucleotide sequence samples of fast evolving pathogens that are taken at d...
متن کاملImproving the Performance of Bayesian Estimation Methods in Estimations of Shift Point and Comparison with MLE Approach
A Bayesian analysis is used to detect a change-point in a sequence of independent random variables from exponential distributions. In This paper, we try to estimate change point which occurs in any sequence of independent exponential observations. The Bayes estimators are derived for change point, the rate of exponential distribution before shift and the rate of exponential distribution after s...

This paper is devoted to computing the sample size of binomial distribution with Bayesian approach. The quadratic loss function is considered and three criterions are applied to obtain p-tolerance regions with the lowest posterior loss. These criterions are: average length, average coverage and worst outcome.

Whenever approximate and initial information about the unknown parameter of a distribution is available, the shrinkage estimation method can be used to estimate it. In this paper, first the $ E $-Bayesian estimation of the parameter of inverse Rayleigh distribution under the general entropy loss function is obtained. Then, the shrinkage estimate of the inverse Rayleigh distribution parameter i...
متن کاملBayesian Extension of MUSIC for Sound Source Localization and Tracking
This paper presents a Bayesian extension of MUSIC-based sound source localization (SSL) and tracking method. SSL is important for distant speech enhancement and simultaneous speech separation for improving speech recognition, as well as for auditory scene analysis by mobile robots. One of the drawbacks of existing SSLmethods is the necessity of careful parameter tunings, e.g., the sound source ...
