Abstract

Voice and sounds are the primary media employed for the human communication. Human is able to exchange information smoothly using voice under different situations such as noisy environment in a crowd and with the existence of plural speakers. We are surrounded by various sounds, and are able to detect the position of a source sound in 3D space, extract a particular sound from mixed sounds, and recognize what makes the sounds. The paper will introduce a realtime detection and identification of particular sound among plural sound sources using a microphone array based on the location of a speaker and the tonal characteristics. The algorithm is applied to an adaptive auditory system of a robotic arm for the interaction with humans.
