Sound source position estimation device and wearable device

Abstract

[Object] To make it possible to estimate the position of a sound source resulting from a wearing displacement, even in the case where the wearing displacement occurs in a wearable device. [Solution] A sound source position estimation device according to the present disclosure includes: a spectrum acquisition unit configured to acquire a frequency spectrum of a sound source on the basis of a sound obtained by a plurality of microphones provided for a ring-like wearable device; a distance computing unit configured to compute respective distances from the plurality of microphones to the sound source on the basis of the frequency spectrum; and a sound source position computing unit configured to, approximating the ring-like wearable device to a circle and assuming that the sound source is located on a cylindrical surface including the ring-like wearable device, obtain an intersection between the cylindrical surface and spherical surfaces whose radii are the respective distances to compute a position of the sound source.
