Abstract
In this study, we designed and developed an interactive interface to optimize sound source localization with the multi-channel robot audition software, HARK. With the developed interface, the system can lighten the loads of optimizing parameters and supports users easily to handle the parameter optimization in sound source localization. In order to properly handle the multi-channel sounds, it is better dynamically to indicate the parameter from both temporal and spatial perspectives, though almost all of the software can only indicate a static threshold. We developed an interactive interface, with which the user can create or delete the sound source on the MUSIC spectrum and can set up an appropriate parameter settings for the environment. We also conducted an evaluation of the software and revealed that our proposed interface was superior than that of the current HARK interface from the view points of intuitiveness and visibility.
