TIME OF ARRIVAL DETECTION USING 4 MIC's

[asifanwarbaig]

I am doing a project given by my prof. he asked me to use 4 Microphones placed on the corner of a board and the direction of the sound is to be detected using those 4 mics, he has suggested me to use TIME of arrival algorithm for the dection of sound source can anyone help me with the algorithm??

the controller i have been using is PIC33 it would be wonderfull if any one could help me with the code also ...

Do i need to use timers and interrupts also for the detection of the location ..., also i have been using intensity for two mics and it was working pretty much well so i need help in this part.

Hi,

you ask us doing your homework...
without giving any value.


****
* first you have to decide what is your mechanical construction (relative position of the microphones in 3D)
* then you have to decide what angular range you want to detect
* Then you have to decide what angular resolution you need
* Then you need to know about sample rate
* is there a known signal or an unknown waveform sent out

with all these informations/decisions you can calculate if a simple timing analysis (timing of zercross in signals, for example) or a more precise mathematical solution (cerrelation for example) is needed.

The human system uses both "level" for low frequencies and "delay" for high frequencies.
