Abstract
In this chapter, we consider the problem of passively estimating the acoustic source location by using microphone arrays for video camera steering in real reverberant environments. Within a two-stage framework for this problem, different algorithms for time delay estimation and source localization are developed. Their performance as well as computational complexity are analyzed and discussed. A successful real-time system is also presented.
