For the development and evaluation of a sound source localization and separation methods, a concise audio dataset with complete geometrical information about the room, the positions of the sound sources, and the array of microphones is needed. Computer simulation of such audio and geometrical data often relies on simplifications and are sufficiently accurate only for a specific set of conditions. It is generally desired to evaluate algorithms on real-world data. For a three-dimensional sound source localization or direction of arrival estimation, a non-coplanar microphone array is needed.Simplest and most general type of non-coplanar array is a tetrahedral array. There is a lack of openly accessible realworld audio datasets obtained using such arrays. We present an audio dataset for the evaluation of sound source localization algorithms, which involve tetrahedral microphone arrays. The dataset is complete with the geometrical information of the room, the positions of the sound sources and the microphone array. Array audio data was captured for two tetrahedral microphone arrays with different distances between microphones and one or two active sound sources. The dataset is suitable for speech recognition and direction-of-arrival estimation, as the signals used for sound sources were speech signals.

This paper addresses the problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of coherent signals in the presence of unknown mutual coupling, and an autoregression (AR) model-based method is proposed. The effects of mutual coupling can be eliminated by the inherent mechanism of the proposed algorithm, so the DOAs can be accurately estimated without any calibration sources. After the mixing matrix is estimated by independent component analysis (ICA), several parameter equations are established upon the mixing matrix. Finally, all DOAs of coherent signals are estimated by solving these equations. Compared with traditional methods, the proposed method has higher angle resolution and estimation accuracy. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm.
