Abstract

This paper presents a means for predicting the error region associated with a speech-source location estimate obtained from a set of microphones in a room environment. The error predictor presented is derived assuming a specific source-sensor geometry consisting of pairs of closely-spaced sensors for which a delay estimate associated with the potential source has been evaluated. The accuracy of the predictor is evaluated through a set of Monte Carlo simulations and an application of the predictor to microphone-array design in the context of a video-teleconferencing scenario is presented.
