Literature (Jingdong Chen, Jacob Benesty, Yiteng Huang. Timedelay estimation in room acoustic environments: an overview [J]. EURASIP Journalon Applied Signal Processing, 2006, 26503: 1-19) gives a review of TDOA orientation estimation technology; in a single sound source, due to the interference of noise, reverberation, etc. , will affect the signal collected between the microphone pairs, and reduce the accuracy of the positioning estimation result. The literature (FrancescoNesta, MaurizioOmologo. Generalized state coherence transform for multidimensional TDOA estimation of multiple sources [J]. IEEETransactionsonAudio, Speech, and Language Processing, 2012, 20(1): 246-260.) gives an improvement The TDOA estimation method of
Further research found that localizing multiple sound sources simultaneously is a more difficult problem
In fact, even a brief sound will cause a slight overlap in the collected speech signals, which may lead to inaccurate localization of multiple source signals (see literature: JacekP. .IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics, 2007:18-21)
For the multi-sound source localization problem, one is the traditional Multiple Signal Classification (MultipleSignalClassification, MUSIC) method, which belongs to the classical subspace method. This method is aimed at narrowband signals, and performs feature decomposition according to the subspace covariance matrix of the collected signals, and then Esti

Abstract

The invention discloses a double sound source localization method based on a consistent focusing transform least square method. According to the method, a predesigned six-element circular microphone array is applied to acquire sound source signals, and the covariance matrix of the acquired signals is acquired; a focusing transform matrix is defined by utilizing the center frequency point of frequency range, and the focusing transform matrix is solved by the least square method; and a signal spatial spectrum corresponding to each center frequency point is acquired by utilizing the center frequency points of different bandwidths, a consistent focusing matrix and a multiple signal classification method, and then the average estimation value of the signal spatial spectrum is obtained by utilizing the average value of the frequency points and a time snapshot estimation method (MUSIC) so that a sound source azimuth angle estimation value is acquired. The method is high in sound source localization estimation accuracy so that an azimuth ambiguity problem can be effectively overcome.
