SOUND SOURCE POSITIONING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18215486 Titled 'SOUND SOURCE POSITIONING METHOD AND APPARATUS'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method and apparatus for accurately locating a sound source using a combination of a microphone array and a radar. The method involves obtaining location information from echo data of a radar, which includes the angle of an object relative to the radar. Additionally, the method involves obtaining the incident angle of a voice signal captured by the microphone array, which is the angle at which the voice signal is incident to the microphone array. The first angle and the incident angle are then fused together to obtain second location information, which indicates the location of the sound source generating the voice signal.


Original Abstract Submitted

A sound source positioning method and apparatus, a computer-readable storage medium, and a sound pickup apparatus are provided, for accurately locating a sound source by using a microphone array and a radar. The method includes: obtaining first location information by using echo data of a radar (), where the first location information includes a first angle of an object relative to the radar; obtaining an incident angle by using a voice signal captured by a microphone array (), where the incident angle is an angle at which the voice signal is incident to the microphone array; and fusing the first angle and the incident angle to obtain second location information (), where the second location information indicates a location of a sound source generating the voice signal.
