Publisher review:Acoustic Tracker - Demonstrate using the Data Acquisition Toolbox to build an application. This demo uses sound to identify the location of an object. It is a simplified version of what is used in military applications, in which an array of microphones ?listens? to a battlefield to identify and locate threats. In our demo, the ?threat? is modeled as a loudspeaker making bad guy noises. The listening array is two microphones, which will allow us to estimate the position along the straight line between the microphones. Location estimation is based solely on the rms value of the noise measured at the two microphones. Note that the algorithm in a real application will be much more complicated, relying heavily on phase information to identify source location, and spectral analysis for source characterization.What?s so great about this demo? It shows the true power of integrating tools for analysis and acquisition. I am developing my algorithm with live data, so that I get immediate feedback on its performance. In the dark ages, I would have tested my algorithm offline, with data stored from previous tests. This demo also hits on the infinite analytical capabilities that MATLAB can bring to a Test & Measurement Application. This is an updated version of the demo cited below. Requirements: · MATLAB Release: R13 · Data Acquisition Toolbox
