Abstract

A method for time delay estimation performed by a physical computing system includes passing a first input signal obtained by a first sensor through a filter bank to form a first set of sub-band output signals, passing a second input signal obtained by a second sensor through the filter bank to form a second set of sub-band output signals, the second sensor placed a distance from the first sensor, computing cross-correlation data between the first set of sub-band output signals and the second set of sub-band output signals, and applying a time delay determination function to the cross-correlation to determine a time delay estimation.
