  4. Lord Rayleigh About 10 years prior to the Michaelson- Morley experiment, Rayleigh was creating the theory of sound 1842-1919 “The problem of the whispering gallery”, Philosophical Magazine, pp 1001-1004, 1910

Outline Sound Source Localization Model-free approaches A model and an identification problem Ambiguity and determining elevation References Demonstration This is joint work with Amir Handzel, Sean Andersson, and Martha Gebremichael. Also thanks to Shihab Shamma for inspiration. Vinay Shah did recent measurements and demos.

  8. Localization: spatial aspect of auditory sense Sensory organ arrangement: Vision -- spatial “topographic” Audition -- tonotopic, transduction to sound pressure in frequency bands special computation required, performed in dedicated brainstem circuits and cortex Sound Localization in Nature

  13. Initial Motivation The above approaches are static, and do not take account of motion. But psychophysical experiments show active horizontal head rotations improve localization, break inter-aural symmetry, and thus provide information on elevation (Perret & Noble 1997, Wightman & Kistler 1999). Formulating this as an identification problem provides insight. We will show how movement can be helpful is resolving ambiguities. Applications arise in guiding a robot towards an acoustic source. First, for a model, we turn to Rayleigh.

  14. Lord Rayleigh and Binaural Perception • ILD and ITD both needed for azimuth. (What about elevation?) • Rayleigh set up the problem of sound propagation around an • acoustically hard sphere. He introduced the head-related • transfer function (HRTF). • HRTF computed from sound pressure field generated at a point • on the sphere by a point source located at (θ, φ). • For a sphere, one has to solve the Helmholtz equation. • See section 385 of • The Theory of Sound • Edition

  15. Coordinate Systems • - Azimuthal q- Polar f - Elevationf - Azimuth Microphones at poles on horizontal plane

  16. Pressure field proportional to Does not depend on azimuthal angle (f) Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) Numerical (e.g. FMP), and empirical methods for non-spherical heads Static Solution

  19. ILD & IPD constitute an intermediate computational space for localization. At each frequency a source gives rise to a point in the ILD-IPD plane (cylinder). A (broadband) point source imprints a signature curve on this feature plane (cylinder) according to its location. Feature Plane (cylinder) and Signatures

  20. Sound pressure and resulting inter-aural functions depend only on polar angle; azimuth invariant -- SO(2) symmetry Sources on same circle of directions have identical signatures. Hence the localization confusion. Introduce distance measures. Symmetry of Static Localization

  21. Symmetry and Rotations • - Azimuthal q- Polar f - Elevationf - Azimuth

  22. Azimuthal invariance, but polar rotations do change the localization functions. Key mathematical step: infinitesimal rotations act as derivative operator -- generate vector fields on signatures. Derivatives ‘modulated’ by Cos(f) -- thus elevation extracted from horizontal rotation! (Head movement helps) Breaking the Symmetry

  23. Experimental Results Broad band source - sum of pure tones 43 Hz – 11 KHz in steps of 43Hz. Passed through anti-aliasing filter and sampled at 22KHz. Knowles FG-3329 microphones used on head of 22.6 cm maximum diameter. To determine ILD and IPD, each 512 point segment (23 ms) of data was passed through an FFT. Measured IPD and ILD were smoothed by a nine-point moving average. This yields empirically determined (discrete) signature curves on ILD-IPD space. Localization computations based on minimizing distance functions. Implementation of this step on mobile robot achieved as a table lookup.
