When a sound wave travels through a microphone array a time difference of arrival (TDOA) can be extracted between each microphone pair. A sound wave impinging towards a microphone pair from the end-fire direction results in the extreme TDOA value, leading to information about microphone distance. In indoors the reverberation may cause TDOA outliers, and a set of non-linear techniques for estimating the distance is proposed. The multidimensional scaling (MDS) is used to map the microphone pairwise distances into Cartesian microphone locations. The accuracy of the method and the effect of the number of sources is evaluated using speech signals in simulated environment. A self-localization RMS error of 7 cm was reached using ten asynchronous smartphones in a meeting room from a recorded conversation with a maximum of 3.7 m device separation.", booktitle = "Proc. 20th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO-2012)", keywords = "Microphone arrays; Array Shape Calibration; Self-Localization; TDOA estimation; Multidimensional Scaling; self localization", organization = "EURASIP", title = "{P}assive {S}elf-{L}ocalization of {M}icrophones {U}sing {A}mbient {S}ounds", year = "2012", }
