Box 553 33101 Tampere Finland Correspondence should be addressed to Pasi Pertila Received 31 October 2007 Revised 4 February 2008 Accepted 23 March 2008 Recommended by Woon-Seng Gan The behavior of time delay estimation TDE is well understood and therefore attractive to apply in acoustic source localization ASL . A time delay between microphones maps into a hyperbola. Furthermore the likelihoods for different time delays are mapped into a set of weighted nonoverlapping hyperbolae in the spatial domain. Combining TDE functions from several microphone pairs results in a spatial likelihood function SLF which is a combination of sets of weighted hyperbolae. Traditionally the maximum SLF point is considered as the source location but is corrupted by reverberation and noise. Particle filters utilize past source information to improve localization performance in such environments. However uncertainty exists on how to combine the TDE functions. Results from simulated dialogues in various conditions favor TDE combination using intersection-based methods over union. The real-data dialogue results agree with the simulations showing a 45 RMSE reduction when choosing the intersection over union of TDE functions. Copyright 2008 Pasi Pertila et al.
