Abstract

The present paper discusses the implementation of direction of arrival estimation using Incoherent Wideband Music algorithm. The direction of arrival of an audio source is estimated using two microphones plugged in “Line-in” input of a DSP development board. A solution to the problem of fluctuating estimation of the angle of arrival has been proposed. The solution consists on adding an audio activity detector before going on processing. Only voiced sound frames are considered as they fulfill the theoretical constraint of the used estimation technique. Furthermore, the latter operation is followed by integration over few frames. Only two sensors are used. For such a reduced number of sensors, the obtained results are promising.
