Despite the fact that all of these waveforms sum at the eardrums, humans with normal hearing can effortlessly segregate interesting sounds from echoes and other sources of background noises. This paper presents a two-microphone technique for localization of sound sources to effectively guide robotic navigation. Its fundamental structure is adopted from a binaural signal-processing scheme employed in biological systems for the localization of sources using interaural time differences (ITDs). The two input signals are analyzed for coincidences along left\/right-channel delay-line pairs. The coincidence time instants are presented as a function of the interaural coherence (IC). Specifically, we build a sphere head model for the selected robot and apply the mechanism of binaural cues selection observed in mammalian hearing system to mitigate the effects of sound echoes. The sound source is found by determining the azimuth at which the maximum of probability density function (PDF) of ITD cues occurs. This eliminates the localization artifacts found during tests. The experimental results of a systematic evaluation demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0263574709990865","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,15]],"date-time":"2010-01-15T10:45:39Z","timestamp":1263552339000},"page":"1013-1020","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Azimuthal source localization using interaural coherence in a robotic dog: modeling and application"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Rong","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yongxuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0263574709990865_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/3-540-48834-0_5"},{"key":"S0263574709990865_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1121\/1.1290516"},{"key":"S0263574709990865_ref18","unstructured":"18.
