A Trinaural Method for Sound Ranging. Volume 1

Abstract

A more direct manual method for evaluating sound-ranging data by using a series of alignment charts is presented. Arguments are two time intervals from three regularly placed microphones. Range and angle are read off directly and used for a polar plot of the source location. Two such plots use all data available from a complete base and provide mutual confirmation. The method is not only quicker and more economical in manpower and equipment than the conventional method, but slightly more accurate. (Author)
