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...
متن کاملSound Source Tracking Using Microphone Arrays
The capability of being able to track the moving sound sources is one of the most important characteristics of a microphone array system. In this paper, a simple source tracking scheme that employs the statistical property of the measured signal is introduced. Performance analysis and simulation results are also presented. Key-Words: Microphone array, Source tracking, DOA estimation
متن کاملMultiple Moving Speakers Tracking Based on Multiple Kalman Filters and Accuracy Evaluation
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 ...
متن کاملUsing Vision to Improve Sound Source Separation
We present a method of improving sound source separation using vision. The sound source separation is an essential function to accomplish auditory scene understanding by separating stream of sounds generated from multiple sound sources. By separating a stream of sounds, recognition process, such as speech recognition, can simply work on a single stream, not mixed sound of several speakers. The ...
متن کاملSound Localization and Separation for Mobile Robot Tele-Operation by Tri-Concentric Microphone Array
The paper describes a tele-operated mobile robot system which can perform multiple sound source localization and separation using a 32-channel tri-concentric microphone array. Tele-operated mobile robots require two main capabilities: 1) audio/visual presentation of the robot’s environment to the operator, and 2) autonomy for mobility. This paper focuses on the auditory system of a tele-operate...
