Abstract
A system for detecting a sound generation position includes three or more first sound acquisition units and a position detector. The three or more first sound acquisition units acquire a sound of a sound event generated around a first mobile object, and are disposed in positions spaced apart from each other in the mobile object, respectively. The position detector detects a direction or a position where the sound event occurs, based on the difference between acquisition times at which the sound is acquired at the three or more first sound acquisition units.
Claims19
A system for detecting a sound generation position, the system comprising:
- three or more first sound acquisition units that acquire a sound of a sound event generated around a first mobile object, the three or more first sound acquisition units disposed in positions spaced apart from each other in the first mobile object, respectively;
- and
- a position detector that detects a direction or a position where the sound event occurs, based on a difference between acquisition times at which the sound is acquired by the three or more first sound acquisition units.
A method for detecting a sound generation position, the method comprising:
- causing three or more sound acquisition units to acquire a sound of a sound event generated around a mobile object, the three or more sound acquisition units being disposed in positions spaced apart from each other in the mobile object;
- and
- detecting a direction or a position where the sound event occurs, based on a difference between acquisition times at which the sound is acquired by the three or more sound acquisition units.
