Sound source localization model of cube microphone array

Abstract

AbstractThis paper conducts in‐depth research on the sound source localization technology of the microphone array and designs a sound source localization system based on the cube microphone array. Firstly, the sound source localization model is established using the cube microphone array combined with the spherical near‐field acoustic holography. Secondly, the numerical and sound source localization simulations are carried out using the spherical wave. Finally, the simulation and experiment of sound source location for sound at 100, 1000, and 2000 Hz are carried out using the model. Both simulation and experimental results show that when the sound source frequency is 100 and 1000 Hz, the location of the sound source can be accurately located by using the sound source localization model of a cube microphone array, and the sound field reconstruction error is low. When the sound source frequency is 2000 Hz, the location of the sound source cannot be located, and the sound field reconstruction error is very high, which will cause the misjudgment of the sound source location.
