Abstract

The application provides a sound source positioning method and apparatus and a time delay estimation method and apparatus. The time delay estimation method comprises: two-stage noise reduction processing is carried out on a received acoustical signal sent by a sound source to obtain a noise reduction signal; according to a four-order cumulant and a four-order cumulant cross spectrum of the noise reduction signal, a time delay estimation equation is defined; and according to the time delay estimation equation, time differences of arrival of acoustical signal at all microphones in a microphone array are estimated and obtained. According to the time delay estimation method, with the two-stage noise reduction processing and the four-order cumulant cross spectrum, influences of the noises and the interference are reduced; the time delay can be estimated accurately; and a problem that the sound source positioning error is increased due to the confused peak value around the acoustical signal delay and the Gaussian noise pollution influence according to the time-domain high-order statistics method and the generalized cross correlation-spectrum weight method can be solved.
