Patent Searching and Data


Title:
音源の位置を特定する方法、および当該方法を用いる人型ロボット
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6521954
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A method for locating a sound source by maximizing a directed response strength calculated for a plurality of vectors of the interauricular time differences forming a set comprises: a first subset of vectors compatible with sound signals from a single sound source at an unlimited distance from the microphones; and a second subset of vectors not compatible with sound signals from a signal sound source at an unlimited distance from the microphones. Each vector of the first subset is associated with a direction for locating the corresponding single sound source, and each vector of the second subset is associated with the locating direction of a vector of the first subset closest thereto according to a predefined metric. A humanoid robot including: a set of at least three microphones, arranged on a surface higher than the head of thereof; and a processor for implementing one such method is provided.
