Spatial Correlation and Time Delay Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
To find the position of an acoustic source in a room, a set of relative delays among different microphone pairs has to be determined. The generalized cross-correlation method is the most popular to do so and is well explained in a landmark paper by Knapp and Carter. In this technical memorandum, we show how we can take advantage of the redundancy when more than two microphones are available. It is believed that the redundancy will help to better cope with noise and reverberation. The idea of cross-correlation coefficient between two random signals is generalized to the multichannel case by using the notion of spatial prediction. The multichannel spatial correlation matrix is then deduced and it is shown how it can be used for time delay estimation.

Application of Model-Based Estimation to Time-Delay Estimation of Ultrasonic Testing Signals
Time-Delay-Estimation (TDE) has been a topic of interest in many applications in the past few decades. The emphasis of this work is on the application of model-based estimation (MBE) for TDE of ultrasonic signals used in ultrasonic thickness gaging. Ultrasonic thickness gaging is based on precise measurement of the time difference between successive echoes which reflect back from the back wall ...
متن کاملTensor-Based Approach for Time-Delay Estimation
Multipath (ML) signals reflected from the surrounding objects of a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receiver lead to a bias in the time-delay estimation of the lineof-sight (LOS) signal. In several cases, this bias is reflected as errors in the pseudo-range estimation of the receiver. In this paper, we derive a tensor-based filtering approach using an antenna array and a compression m...
