Abstract
A method and device for sound source positioning using a microphone array. The method comprises: determining a horizontal axis that a microphone array rotates around as a reference axis; calculating, according to a sound emitted by a sound source that is collected by the microphone array, to obtain a first sound source estimated value indicating a sound source position in a three-dimensional space; acquiring an inclination angle between a plane in which the microphone array is located when it is rotating and a horizontal plane in which the reference axis is located; and according to the first sound source estimated value and the inclination angle, calculating out a second sound source estimated value on a horizontal plane corresponding to the first sound source estimated value, and using the second sound source estimated value as the determined sound source position.
