Abstract

In this paper, we present an improved method for estimating the distance to a sound source and localizing a sound source in three-dimensional space, based on a simple correlation approach with training of a neural network. This new algorithm provides an estimate of azimuth and elevation of angles in free space using four microphones. The proposed method is tested using simulation and compared with the method of simple cross-correlation. It allows to localize sound sources in free space with an accuracy of up to 93%.
