Abstract:This paper describes a method for non-coplanar microphone arrays that temporally isolates and cleans unknown broadband acoustic impulses for detection, classification, and scene analysis. Possible events are initially identified using a sliding statistical time window. Then the authors posit that most of the false triggers due to environmental noise can be filtered by using generalized cross correlation to phase align the microphone channels and reject implausible velocities. Finally, the phase aligned signals… Show more
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.
