Sound source independent searching and locating method

Abstract

The invention relates to an independent sound source searching and positioning method which is based on a mobile robot and comprises the following steps: firstly, a microphone array is utilized to carry out initial positioning to a target sound source: an array which consists of four microphones is arranged at the simulated head part of the mobile robot, wherein, the four microphones are respectively distributed and arranged on the four vertex positions of the biggest inscribed square of the exterior frame circle of the simulated head part of the robot, the distance among the microphones are equal and the left and right ears of the mobile robot are formed to be used for respectively collecting two-way aural signals of the target sound source, then the initial position of the target sound source can be obtained after the two-way aural signals are treated with mathematical treatment based on time delay; secondly, aural positioning and visual positioning are fused: namely, after the initial position of the target sound source is obtained, the simulated head part of the robot is horizontally rotated by utilizing azimuth angle information and rotated up and down by utilizing pitch angle information, or the mobile robot body is simultaneously moved so as to cause the target sound source to be within the visual field of the robot; finally, visual signals are utilized to carry out accurate visual positioning to the target sound source.
