Patent ID: 10820097

Abstract:
The present document describes a method (700) for determining the position of at least one audio source (200). The method (700) includes capturing (701) first and second microphone signals at two or more microphone arrays (210, 220, 230), wherein the two or more microphone arrays (210, 220, 230) are placed at different positions. The two or more microphone arrays (210, 220, 230) each comprise at least a first microphone capsule to capture a first microphone signal and a second microphone capsule to capture a second microphone signal, wherein the first and second microphone capsules have differently oriented spatial directivities. Furthermore, the method (700) comprises determining (702), for each microphone array (210, 220, 230) and based on the respective first and second microphone signals, an incident direction (211, 221, 231) of at least one audio source (200) at the respective microphone array (210, 220, 230). In addition, the method (700) comprises determining (703) the position of the audio source (200) based on the incident directions (211, 221, 231) at the two or more microphone arrays (210, 220, 230).
