Abstract
A sound source localization apparatus is provided which can more surely detect a sound source located in a detection target region. The sound source localization apparatus includes a plurality of microphones and a baffle. The baffle has a first surface and a second surface. The second surface is a surface opposite to the first surface. The plurality of microphones are two-dimensionally arrayed and fixed in the first surface. The baffle allows the plurality of microphones to pick up direct sound arriving at the first surface and prevents the plurality of microphones from picking up direct sound arriving at the second surface.
