Abstract:
An electronic device localizes an audio source by normalizing an amplitude of an audio signal over a time period. The electronic device receives, from one or more microphones of the electronic device, signal(s) representative of audio emitted by an audio source over a time period. The electronic device estimates amplitudes of the signal(s) at a first time within the time period and at a second time within the time period, where the second time is different from the first time. The electronic device normalizes the amplitudes associated with the first and second times to generate normalized amplitudes. The electronic device determines a combined amplitude representative of the audio emitted by the audio source by combining the normalized amplitudes. The electronic device determines, based at least in part on the combined amplitude and motion of the electronic device, an estimated position of the audio source relative to the electronic device.
