Tiivistelmä
This article details and evaluates three alternative approaches to sound-field visualization, which all employ the use of spatially-localized active-intensity (SLAI) vectors. SLAI vectors are particularly interesting as they allow direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimates to be extracted in multiple spatially-localized sectors, such that sound sources and/or noise present in one sector has reduced influence on the DoA estimate made in the other sectors. These DoA estimates may then be used to visualize the sound-field by either: i) directly depicting the estimates as icons, with their relative size dictated by the corresponding energy of each sector; ii) generating traditional activity-maps via histogram analysis of the DoA estimates; or iii) by using the DoA estimates to re-assign energy and subsequently sharpen traditional beamformer-based activity-maps. Since SLAI-based DoA estimates are continuous, these approaches are inherently computationally efficient, as they forgo the need for dense scanning grids to attain high-resolution imaging.
