Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110019835Speaker Localization - The present invention relates to a method for localizing a sound source, in particular, a human speaker, comprising detecting sound generated by the sound source by means of a microphone array comprising more than two microphones and obtaining microphone signals, one for each of the microphones, selecting from the microphone signals a pair of microphone signals for a predetermined frequency range based on the distance of the microphones to each other and estimating the angle of the incidence of the sound on the microphone array based on the selected pair of microphone signals.01-27-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100054085Method and Device for Locating a Sound Source - A method of locating a sound source based on sound received at an array of microphones comprises the steps of determining a correlation function of signals provided by microphones of the array and establishing a direction in which the sound source is located based on at least one eigenvector of a matrix having matrix elements which are determined based on the correlation function. The correlation function has first and second frequency components associated with a first and second frequency band, respectively. The first frequency component is determined based on signals from microphones having a first distance, and the second frequency component is determined based on signals from microphones having a second distance different from the first distance.03-04-2010
