Abstract

This work addresses the problem of estimating the locations of multiple acoustic sources by a network of distributed energy measuring sensors. The maximum likelihood (ML) solution to this problem is related to the optimization of a non-convex function of, usually, many variables. Thus, search-based methods of high complexity are required in order to yield an accurate solution. Considerable reduction of the complexity can be achieved by means of an alternating projection (AP) algorithm that decomposes the original problem into a number of simpler, yet also non-convex, optimization steps. The particular form of the derived cost functions of each such optimization step indicates that, in some cases, an approximate form of these cost functions can be used. These approximate cost functions can be evaluated using considerably lower computational complexity. Thus, a low-complexity version of the AP algorithm is proposed. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm offers a performance close to that of the exact AP implementation, and in some cases, similar performance to that of the ML estimator.
