Wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs) are formed by a distributed group of acoustic‐
sensing devices featuring audio playing and recording capabilities. Current mobile …

Talker localization with microphone arrays has received significant attention lately as a
means for the automated tracking of individuals in an enclosure and as a necessary …

A maximum likelihood (ML) acoustic source location estimation method is presented for the
application in a wireless ad hoc sensor network. This method uses acoustic signal energy …

A combination of microphone arrays and sophisticated signal processing has been applied
to the remote acquisition of high-quality speech audio. These applications all exploit the …

The purpose of this review is to discuss the development of the methods in
microseismic/acoustic emission (AE) source localization and detail the principles of the …

Distributed sensor networks have been proposed for a wide range of applications. The main
purpose of a sensor network is to monitor an area, including detecting, identifying, localizing …

In this paper, we derive the maximum-likelihood (ML) location estimator for wideband
sources in the near field of the sensor array. The ML estimator is optimized in a single step …

A complete overview of distant automatic speech recognition The performance of
conventional Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems degrades dramatically as soon …

To find the position of an acoustic source in a room, the relative delay between two (or more)
microphone signals for the direct sound must be determined. The generalized cross …

Electronically steerable arrays of microphones have a variety of uses in speech data
acquisition systems. Applications include teleconferencing, speech recognition and speaker …
