Popis: This letter proposes an efficient method based on the steered-response power (SRP) technique for sound source localization using microphone arrays: the refined volumetric SRP (RV-SRP). By deploying a sparser volumetric grid, the RV-SRP achieves a significant reduction of the computational complexity without sacrificing the accuracy of location estimates. In addition, a refinement step improves on the compromise between complexity and accuracy. Experiments conducted in both simulated- and real-data scenarios show that the RV-SRP outperforms state-of-the-art methods in accuracy with lower computational cost.
