Localization based on time-reversed event sounds
Abstract
A system determines an event location of an event within an indoor environment based on an event sound generated by the event. The system employs time-reversal techniques based on a received event sound to identify the event location as being in the vicinity of one of a plurality of locator devices at locator locations in the environment. The system includes a base array located within the environment that receives an indication that an event has been detected. Upon receiving the event sound, the system generates a time-reversed event sound for each transceiver and transmits via each transceiver the time-reversed event sound for that transceiver. When a locator device receives a time-reversed event sound, the locator device determines whether the event is in the vicinity of that locator location of the locator device and, if so, outputs an indication that the event occurred at that locator location.
