Lord Rayleigh
About 10 years prior to the Michaelson- Morley experiment, Rayleigh was creating the theory of sound

Sound Localization in Nature
• Localization: spatial aspect of auditory sense• Sensory organ arrangement: Vision -- spatial “topographic” Audition -- tonotopic, transduction to sound pressure in frequency bands special computation required, performed in dedicated brainstem circuits and cortex
Boston University--Harvard University--University of Illinois--University of Maryland
Acoustic Cues for Localization
• Binaural/Inter-aural
Level/Intensity Difference (ILD) Time/Phase Difference (IPD) On-set difference/precedence effect
• Monaural: spectral-directional filtering by Pinna, mostly for elevation

Initial Motivation
The above approaches are static, and do not take account of motion. But psychophysical experiments show active horizontal head rotations improve localization, break inter-aural symmetry, and thus provide information on elevation (Perret & Noble 1997, Wightman & Kistler 1999). Formulating this as an identification problem provides insight. We will show how movement can be helpful is resolving ambiguities. Applications arise in guiding a robot towards an acoustic source.
First, for a model, we turn to Rayleigh.

Lord Rayleigh and Binaural Perception
• ILD and ITD both needed for azimuth. (What about elevation?)
See section 385 of The Theory of Sound1945Edition
• Rayleigh set up the problem of sound propagation around an acoustically hard sphere. He introduced the head-related transfer function (HRTF).
• HRTF computed from sound pressure field generated at a point on the sphere by a point source located at (θ, φ).
• For a sphere, one has to solve the Helmholtz equation.

Feature Plane (cylinder) and Signatures
• ILD & IPD constitute an intermediate computational space for localization.
• At each frequency a source gives rise to a point in the ILD-IPD plane (cylinder).
• A (broadband) point source imprints a signature curve on this feature plane (cylinder) according to its location.

Symmetry of Static Localization
• Sound pressure and resulting inter-aural functions depend only on polar angle;
azimuth invariant -- SO(2) symmetry• Sources on same circle of directions have
identical signatures. Hence the localization confusion.
• Introduce distance measures.

Symmetry and Rotations

Breaking the Symmetry
• Azimuthal invariance, but polar rotations do change the localization functions.
• Key mathematical step: infinitesimal rotations act as derivative operator -- generate vector fields on signatures.
• Derivatives ‘modulated’ by Cos(-- thus elevation extracted from horizontal rotation!

Experimental Results
Broad band source - sum of pure tones 43 Hz – 11 KHz in steps of 43Hz. Passed through anti-aliasing filter and sampled at 22KHz. Knowles FG-3329 microphones used on head of 22.6 cm maximum diameter. To determine ILD and IPD, each 512 point segment (23 ms) of data was passed through an FFT. Measured IPD and ILD were smoothed by a nine-point moving average. This yields empirically determined (discrete) signature curves on ILD-IPD space. Localization computations based on minimizing distance functions. Implementation of this step on mobile robot achieved as a table lookup.
