description | The localization of outdoor acoustic sources has attracted attention in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, the steered response power (SRP) localization of band-pass signal associated with steering time delay uncertainty and coarser spatial grids is considered. We propose a modified SRP-based source localization method for enhancing the localization robustness in outdoor scenarios. In particular, we derive a sufficient condition dependent on the generalized cross-correlation (GCC) waveform function for robust on-grid source localization and show that the SRP function with GCCs satisfying this condition can suppress the disturbances induced by the grid distance and the uncertain steering time delays. Then a GCC refinement procedure for band-pass GCCs is designed, which uses complex wavelet functions in multiple sub-bands to filter the GCCs and averages the envelopes of the filtered GCCs as the equivalent GCC to match the sufficient condition. Simulation results and field experiments demonstrate the excellent performance of the proposed method against the existing SRP-based methods. |
