TDOA- time difference of arrival- based algorithms are common methods for speech source localization. The generalized cross correlation GCC method is the most important approach for estimating TDOA between microphone pairs. The performance of this method significantly degrades in the presence of noise and reverberation. This paper addresses the problem of 3D localization in joint noisy and reverberant conditions and a single-speaker scenario. We first propose a modification to make the GCC-PHAse transform GCC-PHAT method robust against environment noise. Then we use an iterative technique that employs location estimation to improve TDOAs accuracy. Extensive experiments on both simulated and real practical data in a single-source scenario show the capability of the proposed methods to significantly improve TDOA accuracy and consequently source location estimates. 1. Introduction The ever-increasing communication between humans and machines needs localizing and tracking of acoustic sources. Automatic camera tracking for .
