Estimation of Internal Delays

In this thesis report, the design of the estimation of internal delays within speakers and microphones will be covered. The estimation is done via an iterational algorithm which converges to the different delays. The design choice of the estimation of those delays follows from an initial attempt to improve synchronization of the Bosch DICENTIS...

Structured Total Least Squares Based Internal Delay Estimation For Distributed Microphone Auto-Localization

Auto-localization in wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs) can be achieved by time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements between sensors and sources. Most existing approaches are centralized, and they require a fusion center to communicate with other nodes. In practice, WASN topologies are time-varying with nodes joining or leaving the network,...

Speech Based Onset Estimation for Multisensor Localization

This work presents a study of a current problem in the field of audio processing: Source and receiver localization. Currently, this problem requires that either the onset time of the sources or the internal delay of the receivers are known. The algorithms studied here, take advantage of the structure of the time matrix, which contains the TOA of...
