Acoustic Detection of Speaker Position Using Microphone Array
Pelz, Zdeněk ; Novotný, Ondřej (referee) ; Szőke, Igor (advisor)
This thesis explores problematics of speaker localization using microphone array. Aim of this thesis is implementation of algorithms for speaker localization and experiments with those algorithms. Calculation of TDOA was done using cross-correlation and hyperbolic method was used to calculate position estimation. Finished microphone array is able to locate speaker within certain variance. Results of this thesis allow reader to make assumptions regarding accuracy of localisation using microphone array and ARM kit with limited performance. Precision of position estimation using microphone array reached several decimeters, but this precision is dependent on distance from microphone array.

Acoustic Detection of Speaker Position Using Microphone Array
Chu, Yen Nhi ; Žmolíková, Kateřina (referee) ; Szőke, Igor (advisor)
The purpose of this thesis is to create a system for detection of speaker position in a closed room equipped with microphone array. It deals with two algorithms for sound source localization, namely beamforming and time difference of arrival. The methods were implemented on the provided hardware, reliability of the methods was tested and results were evaluated. The results have shown that both used methods were relatively accurate if used in small space (approx. 3×3 m). Shortcomings of the solution were analyzed in detail, possible improvements were proposed. This work can be used as a basis for creating embedded systems for sound source localization.

Myška, David ; Černocký, Jan (referee) ; Malenovský, Vladimír (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with lossless coding of speech signals from microphone arrays. It describes the methods used in the FLAC reference codec and their variations to increase compression for signals from microphone arrays. The following describes methods for aligning channels for their subsequent processing. At the end of the work the results obtained are compared with the reference codec FLAC.

Design and testing of the system for localizing a sound source
Havelka, Martin ; Vechetová, Jana (referee) ; Najman, Jan (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with possibilities of sound source localization. There are generally mentioned possible hardware and software solutions at the beginning, from which two applicable methods and suitable components of test device are selected. Further there is a practical part of this work, where programmed algorithms are described. An essential part is testing. Accuracy is tested for the selected microphone array, depending on the change in the number and position of the sensors, the effect of ambient noise, and the location of the obstacle in the area. The output of the tests is the evaluation of functionality and accuracy for both methods used.

Design of portable microphone array
Vazovan, Ľubomír ; Kubík, Michal (referee) ; Klapka, Milan (advisor)
The subject of this thesis is the structural design of portable five-arms microphone array to localize noise sources, which is using to beamforming techniques. The aim of the work is to design a simple and easy mechanical construction. Part of the work is the solution to connect the measurement microphone to the construction field. The first part is devoted to the theory of beamforming, design the microphone array for beamforming and offered an overview of plane mic fields. The next part of my work is drafting the proposals selected nodes from which you select a specific design. In conclusion I evaluate the economics of construction.

Visualization of sound fields
Kovář, Petr ; Klusáček, Stanislav (referee) ; Havránek, Zdeněk (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with problems of acoustical field visualization using near-field acoustical holography. This method is often refered as NAH. Within the thesis the basic acoustical field variables are processed and described. Two algorithms were analysed, namely the Statistically Optimal Algorithm (SONAH) and the Iterative Algorithm using the Fourier Transform (STFT) with a K-filter (Wave-Domain Filter). These algorithms are described in detail. The outcome of the practical part of this thesis is the application for sound pressure visualization. The application is created in the LabVIEW environment from the known codes and the calculation of the sound pressure is performed with one of the two algorithms described in this thesis. From depicted acoustical maps the disadvantages of this method and differences between algorithm are shown. These algorithms are then compared according to speed of the calculation.

Methods for detecting acoustic sources using microphone arrays
Durkoš, Michal ; Rampl, Ivan (referee) ; Míča, Ivan (advisor)
his paper denotes various possibilities of localization of sources of acoustic signals. It informs the reader about possibilities of using beamforming and it´s basic conditions and rules. In detail it denotes delay-and-sum beamforming, which can be used for both localization of signal sources and for improving the signal by extending signal-to-noise ratio. In the last part of this paper process of simulation of incidence of sound signal on the microphone array is shown, experimental measures are noted and so is their evaluation.

Statical acoustical sources localization
Mikeš, Petr ; Holešinský, Pavel (referee) ; Míča, Ivan (advisor)
The microphone array can be used in many important applications. The primary usage, which most of other applications are based on, is only: acoustic sources localization and separation of each signal from their compound. The microphone array is usually included in ordinary mobile phones, where it reduces noise and sound of its surrounding that otherwise degrades vocal speech. Other microphone array utilization is in for example speech identification, speakers’ localization or signal isolation of one speaker.
