摘要: 针对嵌入式安装麦克风阵列因壳体遮挡部分阵元而导致的实际波达时间差(TDOA)偏离直达波理论模型问题,基于实际声探测系统最常用的对称凸多边形平面阵型构造线性几何约束并结合秩2代数约束,提出了一种校正实测TDOA矩阵的凸优化闭式解,只要阵列结构中存在至少一对等长平行线,就能获得现有TDOA校正方法所没有的壳体遮挡衍射效应抑制能力,同时还能抑制随机误差和异常值的不利影响,实现复杂度低,更适用于日益普及的小型实时全向声探测系统应用.仿真结果验证了该方法的有效性.

Abstract: In order to diminish the deviation of far-field time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) measurements from the ideal line-of-sight (LOS) model due to some microphones shadowed by the system shell of an embedded planar microphone array, which is not considered and cannot be resolved by existing TDOA correction studies, a novel convex optimization method was proposed for correcting the measured TDOA matrix. A closed-form solution was obtained by integrating the rank-2 algebraic constraint with a set of linear geometric constraints corresponding to the equilong parallel lines (EPLs) that are easily achieved in practical acoustic detection systems using approximately symmetric convex polygons as preferable array shapes.As long as the array shape contains at least one pair of linearly independent EPLs, the proposed method gains the capability of effectively suppressing the diffraction induced deviations in measured TDOAs relevant to non-line-of-sight (NLOS) array elements. Meanwhile, the adverse effects of measurement noise and TDOA outliers can be also mitigated. Considering both the above capabilities and the low computational complexity, the proposed method is more suitable for ever-growing applications of small-scale, real-time acoustic detection systems. Numerical simulations verified its effectiveness.
