Optimization of Equivalent Source Configuration for an Independent-Equivalent Source Method in Half-Space Sound Field by Wen-Qian Jing, Huawei Wu, Jin-Quan Nie

“…In the situation that vibrating objects are located above a reflecting plane, an independent-equivalent source method (I-ESM) regards the reflections due to the plane as being radiated by equivalent sources placed under the plane and then the half-space sound field is reconstructed by matching the measured pressure with the equivalent sources distributed within the vibrating object and those substituting for reflections. …”

Near-field localization algorithm of multiple sound sources based on approximated kernel density estimator by Yu-zhuo FANG, Zhi-yong XU, Zhao ZHAO

“…For near-field localization of multiple sound sources in reverberant environments,a algorithm model based on approximated kernel density estimator (KDE) was proposed.Multi-stage (MS) of sub-band processing was introduced to effectively solve the spatial aliasing by wide spacing.Spatial likelihood function (SLF) was built for multi-dimensional fusion by using two operators,sum (S) and prod (P).Then four algorithms,S-KDE,P-KDE,S-KDEMS,P-KDEMS,were derived.By the comprehensive comparison of the two statistical indicators root mean square error (RMSE) and percentage of SLF (PSLF) which denoted the recognition,P-KDEMS is confirmed as a near-field localization algorithm of multiple sound sources with high robustness and recognition.…”
