Estimation of Source and Receiver Positions, Room Geometry and Reflection Coefficients From a Single Room Impulse Response

We propose an algorithm to estimate source and receiver positions, room geometry and reflection coefficients from a single room impulse response simultaneously. It is based on a symmetry analysis of the room impulse response. The proposed method utilizes the times of arrivals of the direct path, first order reflections and second order reflections. The proposed method is robust to erroneous pulses and non-specular reflections. It can be applied to any room with parallel walls as long as the required arrival times of reflections are available. In contrast to the state-of-art method, we do not restrict the location of source and receiver.
