Particle Filtering for TDOA based Acoustic Source Tracking : Nonconcurrent Multiple Talkers
This paper presents novel ideas and algorithmic improvements for Acoustic Source Localisation and Tracking (ASLT) of multiple talkers in conversational mode. This localisation work underpinned ideas in EU LOCOBOT (EU FP7 grant, Project No. FoF.NMP.2010-1.260101, €3.74M, Edinburgh share €400k) ) and collaborative work with SelexES (George Matich (email available), £10k). ASLT plays an important role in speech and audio applications such as diarisation, multimedia, hearing-aids, hands-free distant speech recognition and communication, and finds a number of applications in mobile platforms. This work is a major output from Zhong’s PhD, and extends presentations from two IEEE international conferences (DoI:10.1109/SSP.2009.5278592, DoI:10.1109/ICASSP.2008.4517604).
