A hybrid deconvolution approach to separate static and moving single-tone acoustic sources by phased microphone array measurements

摘要

Beamforming approaches are developed to locate and quantify either static or moving acoustic sources by phased microphone array measurements. They would meet difficulties in mapping combined sources consisting of both static and moving sources. In this work, a hybrid deconvolution approach is proposed to separate static and moving single-tone sources. The approach is derived based on the source independence assumption as in the Deconvolution Approach for the Mapping of Acoustic Sources (DAMAS). The static beamforming and the moving beamforming are integrated to construct a linear matrix equation. The source distributions for the static sources and moving sources are simultaneously obtained by solving the equation. Numerical simulations and experiments were implemented on the combined sources with one static source and one rotating source. From the results, the hybrid deconvolution approach shows its effectiveness in separating the two sources, even with large source strength differences.
