Description
本創作係關於一種聲源定位裝置;特別關於一種利用都卜勒效應(Doppler effect)的聲源定位裝置,主要在其高適應性。 This creation relates to a sound source localization device; especially a sound source localization device utilizing the Doppler effect, mainly in its high adaptability.
隨著半導體產業的發展,麥克風(microphone)從以往使用磁力的動圈式麥克風(dynamic microphone/moving coil microphone),到駐極體式麥克風(electret condenser microphone/ECM),甚至是新興起的微機電式麥克風(MEMS microphone),體積與耗電量都在一步步地降低。日漸縮小的麥克風機構,甚至得以與放大器或訊號處理器整合在同一塊電路板上,這都促使麥克風脫離被動的收音角色,踏入主動的操作介面。 With the development of the semiconductor industry, microphones have changed from dynamic microphone/moving coil microphone, which used magnetic force, to electret condenser microphone/ECM, and even the newly emerging micro-electromechanical type. Microphone (MEMS microphone), the volume and power consumption are decreasing step by step. The ever-shrinking microphone mechanism can even be integrated with the amplifier or signal processor on the same circuit board, which pushes the microphone to move away from the passive sound-receiving role and step into the active operating interface.
因此,不論是美國亞馬遜公司推出的Amazon Echo,或是谷歌公司推出的Google Home,都採用微機電麥克風組成的矩陣(array),主動偵測說話者的方向,進而強化聲音指令的辨識。藉由聲波到達角(Angle of Arrive,AoA)在麥克風間形成相位差(phase)的原理,比對任兩麥克風產生的聲電訊號時間差,便能從最大時間差的兩麥克風連線得出說話者的方位角(azimuth)。 Therefore, whether it is the Amazon Echo launched by Amazon in the United States or the Google Home launched by Google, an array of micro-electromechanical microphones is used to actively detect the direction of the speaker, thereby enhancing the recognition of voice commands. According to the principle of the angle of arrival (AoA) of the sound wave to form a phase difference between the microphones, by comparing the time difference of the acoustic and electrical signals generated by any two microphones, the speaker can be obtained from the connection of the two microphones with the largest time difference. azimuth.
若以20℃時聲速34,300cm/s來計算,互延遲1ms代表34.3cm的聲程差Lm=Dm.cos(A),其中,Dm為兩麥克風距離以及A為到達角(請參閱第1圖)。然而,像Amazon Echo或Google Home這類家用裝置最大直徑僅 有7cm左右,就需要至少0.2ms精度的互延遲分析能力才得以找出說話者的方位角。 If the speed of sound at 20℃ is 34,300cm/s, the mutual delay of 1ms represents the sound path difference of 34.3cm, Lm=Dm. cos(A), where Dm is the distance between the two microphones and A is the angle of arrival (see Figure 1). However, home devices like the Amazon Echo or Google Home have a maximum diameter of only At about 7cm, a mutual delay analysis capability of at least 0.2ms accuracy is required to find the azimuth of the speaker.
更重要的是,為了基礎防塵防水,麥克風多置於裝置內部,用來收音的小孔遠小於人聲波長範圍10-110cm。對這類裝置而言,聲波係以新生點源的方式穿過收音的小孔,同時也失去原始聲源的傳播方向,因此無法再適用習知的單一聲源平面波模型。 More importantly, in order to be basically dustproof and waterproof, the microphones are mostly placed inside the device, and the small holes used for sound collection are much smaller than the human voice wavelength range of 10-110cm. For this type of device, the sound wave passes through the small hole of the sound receiver in the form of a new point source, and at the same time loses the propagation direction of the original sound source, so the conventional single sound source plane wave model can no longer be applied.

為闡述本創作之獨特功效,前兩段先以習知技藝,搭配二收音小孔的收音配置示範習知面臨的困境;接著,再提出本創作之實施例。由於本說明書係以裝置內部所感測到的聲電訊號做示範,故,後續出現所述聲電訊號間互延遲(mutual delay)之分析結果,係無法等同先前技術提到的聲程差除以聲速。 In order to illustrate the unique effect of this creation, the first two paragraphs first demonstrate the difficulties faced by conventional techniques with the use of conventional techniques and the configuration of the two radio holes; then, an embodiment of this creation is presented. Since this specification uses the acoustic and electrical signals sensed inside the device as an example, the subsequent analysis results of the mutual delay between the acoustic and electrical signals cannot be equivalent to dividing the sound path difference mentioned in the prior art by speed of sound.
請參照「第2圖」,當來自左側的原始聲源前後接觸到該二收音小孔時,由於該二收音小孔的孔隙遠小於人聲波長,故聲波通過該二收音小孔後,再無法以原來行進方向繼續傳播至麥克風,反而是以新生點源的方式向外輻射傳播。原始聲源的行進方向與該二收音小孔沿線所夾之到達角造成的聲程差為c.p,其中,c為當時的聲速,以及p為行走時間(traveling time)代表該二收音小孔新生的左點源比右點源早的時間差。該二收音小孔 下方的兩個麥克風,除了收到正上方傳來的聲波外,還會收到隔壁傳來的聲波。以圖示1、4分別代表該左點源傳到正下方以及該右點源傳到隔壁的到時;同時,以圖示2、3分別代表該右點源傳到正下方以及該左點源傳到隔壁的到時。 Please refer to "Picture 2", when the original sound source from the left touches the two sound-receiving holes before and after, because the pores of the second sound-receiving holes are much smaller than the wavelength of human voice, after the sound wave passes through the two sound-receiving holes, it can no longer be Continue to propagate to the microphone in the original direction of travel, but instead radiate outward in the form of a new point source. The sound path difference caused by the traveling direction of the original sound source and the angle of arrival between the two radio holes along the line is c. p, where c is the speed of sound at that time, and p is the traveling time, which represents the time difference between the left point source and the right point source of the newly-born left point source of the two radio holes. The two radio holes The two microphones below, in addition to receiving sound waves from directly above, will also receive sound waves from next door. Figures 1 and 4 represent the time when the left point source is transmitted directly below and the right point source is transmitted to the next door; at the same time, Figures 2 and 3 represent the right point source is transmitted directly below and the left point respectively. The source is transmitted to the time next door.
當該左右點源傳到隔壁的時間略少於一個該行走時間p,該左點源因為早於該右點源一個該行走時間p,所以反而比該右點源早傳到該右點源下方的麥克風。如同「第2圖」左上所示,左側麥克風的到時(實線)與右側麥克風的到時(點線)並不一致,故兩麥克風產生的聲電訊號波形相當地不同;這與同調量測法(coherent measurement,CM)或交叉功率頻譜相位法(CSP)的先決條件-「彼此相似的波形」,相當牴觸。正由於兩麥克風產生的聲電訊號的波形並不相似,習知技藝分析出的互延遲將與p分歧,也就無從得知該原始聲源的方位角。 When the time of the left and right point sources to the next door is slightly less than one of the walking time p, the left point source is transmitted to the right point source earlier than the right point source because the left point source is one the walking time p earlier than the right point source. microphone below. As shown in the upper left of "Figure 2", the arrival time of the left microphone (solid line) and the arrival time of the right microphone (dotted line) are not consistent, so the waveforms of the acoustic and electrical signals generated by the two microphones are quite different; this is different from the coherence measurement. A prerequisite for coherent measurement (CM) or cross-power spectral phase (CSP) - "waveforms that are similar to each other", is quite confusing. Since the waveforms of the acoustic and electrical signals generated by the two microphones are not similar, the mutual delay analyzed by the prior art will be different from p, and the azimuth angle of the original sound source cannot be known.
請參照「第3圖」,係本創作第一實施例,一外殼B設置有一第一入口O1;且該第一入口O1設有一個或數個空氣貫穿孔沿x-y平面分布,且沿x軸之分布寬度D1小於人聲最小波長。有一麥克風陣列設置於該外殼B所圍之內腔Bin,其所在平面至該外殼B的深度dp,係大於該分布寬度D1至少三倍以上。當原始聲源由左側沿一入射方向SO襲來,即在該第一入口O1形成以第一速度V1移動之等效聲源,且V1=D1/(L1/c)=c/cos(A1),其中,L1為第一聲程差,A1為第一到達角以及V1方向與x軸方向同。若以一脈衝波示意該等效點源之發生,則若干個該脈衝波隨時間依序出現即示意該等效聲源的移動,且該若干個脈衝波出現的期間稱為持續期(duration)dur。由於該深度dp遠大於該分布寬度D1,故該等效聲源到達該麥克風陣列的時間,僅與 該第一入口O1至該麥克風陣列之傳播位移OM長度有關,並無法從中推算出該原始聲源之方位角。 Please refer to "Fig. 3", which is the first embodiment of the present invention. A casing B is provided with a first inlet O 1 ; and the first inlet O 1 is provided with one or more air through holes distributed along the xy plane, and along the The distribution width D 1 of the x-axis is smaller than the minimum wavelength of human voice. A microphone array is disposed in the cavity Bin surrounded by the casing B, and the depth dp from the plane where the microphone array is located to the casing B is at least three times greater than the distribution width D1. When the original sound source strikes from the left along an incident direction SO, that is, an equivalent sound source moving at the first velocity V 1 is formed at the first inlet O 1 , and V 1 =D 1 /(L 1 /c)= c/cos(A 1 ), wherein L 1 is the first sound path difference, A 1 is the first angle of arrival, and the direction of V 1 is the same as the direction of the x-axis. If a pulse wave is used to indicate the occurrence of the equivalent point source, several pulse waves appear in sequence over time to indicate the movement of the equivalent sound source, and the period during which the pulse waves appear is called a duration. )dur. Since the depth dp is much larger than the distribution width D 1 , the time for the equivalent sound source to reach the microphone array is only related to the length of the propagation displacement OM from the first inlet O 1 to the microphone array, and the The azimuth of the original sound source.
然而,該持續期dur卻與該第一到達角A1明顯相關。對該傳播位移OM偏離該第一速度V1較多的麥克風而言,較早發生的該等效聲源具有較短的該傳播位移OM,以及較晚發生的該等效聲源有較長的該傳播位移OM;反之,對於較靠近該第一速度V1的麥克風而言,較早發生的該等效聲源有較長的該傳播位移OM,以及較晚發生的該等效聲源有較短的該傳播位移OM。這與都卜勒效應產生的原因一樣,其結果就是當移動中的聲源朝我們而來,我們會聽到較高頻(該等效聲源密集出現)的聲音;反之,則聽到較低頻(該等效聲源分開出現)的聲音。 However, the duration dur is clearly related to the first angle of arrival A1. For the microphone whose propagation displacement OM deviates more from the first velocity V 1 , the equivalent sound source that occurs earlier has a shorter propagation displacement OM, and the equivalent sound source that occurs later has a longer propagation displacement OM. the propagation displacement OM of There is a shorter OM for this propagation displacement. This is the same as the Doppler effect, the result is that when a moving sound source is coming towards us, we hear the higher frequency (the equivalent sound source is densely present) sound; otherwise, we hear the lower frequency sound (the equivalent sound source appears separately).
該持續期dur(α),即遵守都卜勒效應的關係式:dur(α)=δ+γ.(L1/c)...(1),其中,α為該第一速度V1與該傳播位移OM所成之內角,δ為該等效聲源瞬時寬度以及都卜勒因子γ=|1-cos(α)/cos(A1)|。該等效聲源瞬時寬度δ與該第一入口O1沿y軸分布寬度有關,並正比於該傳播位移OM與y軸所夾之投射角β之正弦函數;因此,麥克風在x-z平面上的該傳播位移OM對應的即是最短的δ,以及麥克風在y-z平面上的該傳播位移OM對應的即是最長的δ。根據能量守恆定律,該傳播位移OM上通過的聲源強度應反比於該傳播位移OM長度平方,且該傳播位移OM上麥克風之聲電訊號強度應反比該持續期dur。 The duration dur(α) is the relational formula that obeys the Doppler effect: dur(α)=δ+γ. (L 1 /c)...(1), where α is the inner angle formed by the first velocity V 1 and the propagation displacement OM, δ is the instantaneous width of the equivalent sound source and the Doppler factor γ= |1-cos(α)/cos(A 1 )|. The instantaneous width δ of the equivalent sound source is related to the distribution width of the first entrance O 1 along the y-axis, and is proportional to the sine function of the projection angle β between the propagation displacement OM and the y-axis; therefore, the microphone on the xz plane The propagation displacement OM corresponds to the shortest δ, and the propagation displacement OM of the microphone on the yz plane corresponds to the longest δ. According to the law of conservation of energy, the intensity of the sound source passing through the propagation displacement OM should be inversely proportional to the square of the length of the propagation displacement OM, and the intensity of the acoustic signal of the microphone on the propagation displacement OM should be inversely proportional to the duration dur.
請參照「第4圖」,該麥克風陣列所在平面上,對應該內角α=30°、60°、90°、120°以及150°之曲線C30、C60、C90、C120以及C150。若沿著一等長路徑COM(極角θ=70°所圍之圓),取該麥克風陣列之聲電訊號 強度,以該麥克風陣列所在之方位角Φ排序(右圖橫軸),並設0°為該第一速度V1代表的方位角,便能看出該等聲電訊號強度間的對稱性(如右圖)。正方形、三角形以及圓形分別標示當該第一到達角A1為35°、55°以及75°時,該等聲電訊號強度隨該麥克風陣列之方位角變化(735、755、775)。因此,以該等聲電訊號強度對該麥克風陣列所在之方位角Φ做加權平均數,便能得出該第一速度V1方位角預估值,例如:右圖即得出3.7°、5.4°以及6.7°的結果,其平均誤差弳度大約是0.09。以六公尺遠的距離估算,此平均誤差弳度導致的最大誤判範圍約為55cm。 Please refer to "Fig. 4", on the plane where the microphone array is located, the curves C30, C60, C90, C120 and C150 corresponding to the inner angles α=30°, 60°, 90°, 120° and 150°. If you follow an equal-length path COM (a circle surrounded by a polar angle θ=70°), take the acoustic and electrical signal strength of the microphone array, sort by the azimuth angle Φ of the microphone array (horizontal axis in the right figure), and set 0° is the azimuth angle represented by the first velocity V 1 , and the symmetry between the intensities of the acoustic and electrical signals can be seen (as shown in the figure on the right). Squares, triangles, and circles indicate that when the first angle of arrival A1 is 35°, 55°, and 75°, the intensity of the acoustic and electrical signals varies with the azimuth of the microphone array (735, 755, 775). Therefore, by taking the weighted average of the azimuth angle Φ where the microphone array is located, the estimated value of the azimuth angle of the first velocity V 1 can be obtained. ° and 6.7°, the average error is about 0.09. Estimated at a distance of six meters, the maximum misjudgment range caused by this average error is about 55cm.
除此之外,由於該內角α大於80°後,該等聲電訊號強度會弱到融入背景噪音至無法判斷;故,可以利用無法判斷出該等聲電訊號強度之無聲區域來決定該第一速度V1方位角預估值。更進一步地,還能利用該無聲區域外緣的該等聲電訊號強度比例,來計算該第一速度V1方位角預估值,例如:該無聲區域外緣+100°與-100°各有該聲電訊號強度1與0.6,則[(+100°.0.6)+(-100°.1)]/1.6=-25°即該第一速度V1方位角預估值。
In addition, since the internal angle α is greater than 80°, the intensity of the acoustic and electrical signals will be so weak that it is merged into the background noise and cannot be judged; therefore, the silent area where the intensity of the acoustic and electrical signals cannot be judged can be used to determine the The estimated value of the azimuth angle of the first velocity V1. Furthermore, the ratio of the intensity of the acoustic and electrical signals at the outer edge of the silent area can also be used to calculate the estimated value of the azimuth angle of the first velocity V 1 , for example: the outer edge of the silent area is +100° and -100° respectively. With the acoustic and
請參照「第5圖」,本創作第二實施例以及第三實施例係分別沿不同極角所圍出的該等長路徑(極角θ=45°與30°),取該麥克風陣列之聲電訊號強度,以該麥克風陣列所在之方位角Φ排序(右圖橫軸),並設0°為該第一速度V1代表的方位角。正方形、三角形以及圓形分別標示當該第一到達角A1為35°、55°以及75°時,該等聲電訊號強度隨該麥克風陣列之方位角變化;其中,圖示435、455以及475分別表示三種該第一到達角在極角θ=45°所圍出的該等長路徑上的麥克風,以及圖示335、355以及375分別表示三種該第一到達角在極角θ=30°所圍出的該等長路徑上的麥克風。同樣地,以該 等聲電訊號強度對該麥克風陣列所在之方位角Φ做加權平均數,所得出的該第一速度V1方位角平均誤差弳度分別為0.10(θ=45°)以及0.12(θ=30°)。雖然,本創作之第二實施例與第三實施例在平均誤差的表現上並不如第一實施例;第二實施例對該第一到達角A1=55°卻有較佳的方位角解析能力,其誤差弳度只有0.07,第三實施例則是針對該第一到達角A1=75°有較佳的方位角解析能力,其誤差弳度來到更低的0.05。 Please refer to "Fig. 5", the second embodiment and the third embodiment of the present invention are respectively along the equal-length paths (polar angles θ=45° and 30°) surrounded by different polar angles, taking the distance of the microphone array The acoustic and electrical signal strengths are sorted by the azimuth angle Φ where the microphone array is located (horizontal axis in the right figure), and 0° is set as the azimuth angle represented by the first velocity V 1 . Squares, triangles and circles respectively indicate that when the first angle of arrival A1 is 35°, 55° and 75°, the intensity of the acoustic and electrical signals varies with the azimuth angle of the microphone array; among them, the figures 435, 455 and 475 respectively represent the three microphones on the equal-length path surrounded by the first angle of arrival at the polar angle θ=45°, and the diagrams 335, 355 and 375 respectively represent the three types of the first angle of arrival at the polar angle θ=30 ° the microphones on the path of equal length. Similarly, taking the weighted average of the azimuth angle Φ where the microphone array is located with the strengths of the acousto-electric signals, the average azimuth angle error Φ of the first velocity V 1 obtained is 0.10 (θ=45°) and 0.12, respectively. (θ=30°). Although, the average error performance of the second embodiment and the third embodiment of the present invention is not as good as that of the first embodiment; the second embodiment has a better azimuth angle analysis for the first angle of arrival A 1 =55° The third embodiment has better azimuth resolution capability for the first angle of arrival A 1 =75°, and the error ratio is lower than 0.05.
因此,若本創作應用的場合中,該第一到達角A1有較集中的範圍,則應就其範圍選定該麥克風陣列所在的位置。例如:當該第一到達角A1集中在72°附近,則適合選定在極角θ在35°-40°附近所圍出的該等長路徑布置該麥克風陣列;以及當該第一到達角A1集中在20°附近,則適合選定在極角θ大於等於60°所圍出的該等長路徑布置該麥克風陣列。實際應用時,可以藉由調整該深度的深淺,例如:墊高該麥克風陣列所在之電路,即能達到針對該第一到達角A1最佳化的配置。 Therefore, if the first angle of arrival A1 has a relatively concentrated range in this creative application, the position of the microphone array should be selected for the range. For example: when the first angle of arrival A1 is concentrated around 72°, it is suitable to select the equal-length path surrounded by the polar angle θ around 35°-40° to arrange the microphone array; and when the first angle of arrival is around 35°-40° If A 1 is concentrated around 20°, it is suitable to choose to arrange the microphone array on the equal-length path surrounded by the polar angle θ greater than or equal to 60°. In practical application, by adjusting the depth of the depth, for example, raising the circuit where the microphone array is located, the configuration optimized for the first angle of arrival A1 can be achieved.
請參照「第6圖」,若該麥克風陣列在該等長路徑(以極角θ=70°來看)上的分布並不是以該第一速度V1為對稱軸時,例如:上圖顯示偏移10°的結果以及下圖顯示偏移30°的結果;所述誤差弳度最高將來到該第一到達角A1=75°的0.19(上圖偏移10°的圓形標結果),其他偏移情形之所述誤差弳度最差約為0.14(下圖偏移30°的三角形標結果)。若應用時當該第一到達角A1集中範圍大致大於50°,將該麥克風陣列分布在該等長路徑(θ=30°-45°),則可控制該第一速度V1預估值之誤差弳度不致超過0.15;反之,將該麥克風陣列分布在該等長路徑(θ>45°),則可控制該第一速度V1預估值之誤差弳度不致超過0.09。 Please refer to "Fig. 6", if the distribution of the microphone array on the equal-length path (viewed by the polar angle θ=70°) is not the axis of symmetry of the first velocity V 1 , for example: the above figure shows The result with a 10° offset and the following figure shows the result with a 30° offset; the maximum error will come to 0.19 of the first angle of arrival A 1 =75° (the circular result with a 10° offset in the upper figure) , and the worst case of the other offsets is about 0.14 (the result of the triangular mark with a 30° offset in the figure below). If the concentrated range of the first angle of arrival A 1 is approximately greater than 50° in application, and the microphone array is distributed on the path of equal length (θ=30°-45°), the estimated value of the first velocity V 1 can be controlled On the contrary, by distributing the microphone array on the same length path (θ>45°), the error ratio of the estimated value of the first velocity V 1 can be controlled not to exceed 0.09.
