ABSTRACT:
Precision and reliability of localization estimates derived from conventional localization systems are improved through a system and method for post-processing of initial localization data, even in environments which may include noise, reflections, or other interference. Such localization systems include conventional sound source localization (SSL) systems based on microphone array inputs, radio source location systems based on directional antenna array inputs, etc. In general, this post-processing system and method applies statistical real-time clustering to initial localization estimates, and then uses this real-time clustering in a multi-stage process to generate new localization estimates having improved precision and reliability relative to the initial localization estimates.
