 ## About

 Intelligent systems would benefit from being able to localize and track sound sources in real life settings. Such a capability can help localizing a person or an interesting event in the environment, and also provides enhanced processing for other capabilities such as speech recognition. To give this capability to a computing system, the challenge is not only to localize simultaneous sound sources, but to track them over time. The ManyEars project propose a robust sound source localization and tracking method using an array of eight microphones. The method is based on a frequency-domain implementation of a steered beamformer along with a particle filter-based tracking algorithm. Tests on a mobile robot show that the algorithm can localize and track in real-time multiple moving sources of different types over a range of 7 meters. These new capabilities allowed the robot to interact using more natural means with people in real life settings.

 **The ManyEars project was setup to provide source code from the original [AUDIBLE](http://www.gel.usherbrooke.ca/laborius/projects/AUDIBLE/index.html) project. It provides an easy to use 'C' library for microphone array processing. This includes sound source localisation, tracking and separation.A tuning Qt GUI is also available for fine tuning the parameters.**

-[ManyEars](http://manyears.sf.net) requires a synchronous audio capture card. Although commercial audio acquisition cards are available, they are expensive, bulky, inefficient and too generic for the needs of ManyEars. Although functional, these cards do not meet the specific needs of mobile robotics and IntRoLab. The goal of 8 Sounds USB is to have an synchronous audio capture card with low power consumption and a small form factor with 8 input channels and 2 output channels. The first iteration of the project is a prototype providing a synchronous audio capture card with wiring diagrams, circuit board, full documentation. [XMOS](http://www.xmos.com) is our platform of choice to process the I2S codec data and USB transmission. We are also looking for the [USB Generic Audio Class 2](http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs) implementation. More information on the project can be found here :
