- Abstract
- This paper presents a complete characterization and solution to microphone position self-calibration problem for time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements. This is the problem of determining the positions of receivers and transmitters given all receiver-transmitter distances. Such calibration problems arise in application such as calibration of radio antenna networks, audio or ultra-sound arrays and WiFi transmitter arrays. We show for what cases such calibration problems are well-defined and derive efficient and numerically stable algorithms for the minimal TOA calibration problems. The proposed algorithms are non-iterative and require no assumptions on the sensor positions. Experiments on synthetic data show that the proposed minimal solvers... (More)
