In the estimation of time delay, there always would not appear obvious peak with the basic cross-correlation (CC). In order to solve the problem of the basic cross-correlation method, this essay represents an improved time delay estimation method based on the generalized cross-correlation (GCC) and combines with the microphone array structure to achieve sound source localization. Finally, the simulation results show that this method could measure the sound source’s location accurately with noise and reverberation, and the distance positioning error is less than 10cm, the direction angle error is below 3°.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
