Abstract

To locate an acoustic source in a room, the relative delay between microphone pairs must be determined efficiently and accurately. However, most traditional time delay estimation (TDE) algorithms fail in reverberant environments. A new approach is proposed that takes into account the reverberation of the room. A real time PC-based TDE system running under Microsoft/sup TM/ Windows system was developed with three TDE techniques: classical cross-correlation, phase transform, and a new algorithm that is proposed in this paper. The system provides an interactive platform that allows users to compare performance of these algorithms.
