Project

Scale-free passive acoustic localization using a wireless synchronized sensor network.

During this project we will develop a framework which allows passive localization of acoustic sources using a synchronized wireless sensor network. Synchronization of the wireless microphone array will be performed using a distributed synchronization scheme absent of a master time representation. The framework will support automatic calibration of the microphone array with minimal human intervention. The location estimate of the acoustic sources will be performed using a probabilistic localization algorithm in combination with known statistics about the behavior of the acoustic source. The framework will be virtually scale-free, which means that the sensor network can be used for tracking a wide variety of acoustic sources in a wide variety of application domains.
