Accostic Source Location

• Topic 1: Acoustic Source Location Background and Theory (Slides 1-19)
  • Additional references:
    • Joshua York, Acoustic Source Localization, ESE497, Fall 2008
    • Raphael Schwartz and Zachary Knudsen, Robotic Microphone Sensing: Data Processing Architectures for Real-Time, Acoustic Source Position Estimation, ESE497, Fall 2009
  • Homework 1: Read the material that we discussed in our meeting today and the additional references listed above.
  • Homework 2: Using this figure, derive the general equations for the source location (x*,y*) which include the rotation of both pair, i.e., the intersection of the 2 lines. Verify that the formula on slide 10 of the lecture notes is correct for the special case where
    • y1 = y2 = 0
    • Rotation1 and Rotion2 = 0
    • X1=P/2
    • X2 = -P/2
