Packages

After installing the WIN32 or OSX package, please go to the Configuration section for more details for configuring the microphone array.

WIN32 Packages

  1. Install the FlowDesigner Package
    1. Download and install File:FlowDesigner-0.10.0-win32.rar
    2. FlowDesigner must be added to the PATH with the installer (when asked)
  2. Install the ManyEars Package
    1. Download and install File:ManyEars-0.2.rar
  3. Run FlowDesigner from the start menu
  4. (Optional) run audioviewer from C:\Program Files\FlowDesigner\bin

OSX Packages

  1. Download & Install Qt
    1. http://get.qtsoftware.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.5.1.dmg
  2. Download and mount this image :
    1. File:FlowDesigner-0.10.0-RW.dmg
    2. Run FlowDesigner from the mounted image
    3. Open and run the FlowDesigner network described in the Configuration section.

If you want to run the audioviewer (after the image is mounted) :

  1. Start the terminal
  2. Enter the following commands :
    1. export PATH=/Volumes/FlowDesigner-0.10.0/FlowDesigner.app/Contents/Resources/bin:$PATH
    2. export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Volumes/FlowDesigner-0.10.0/FlowDesigner.app/Contents/Resources/lib/
    3. export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/Volumes/FlowDesigner-0.10.0/FlowDesigner.app/Contents/Resources/lib/flowdesigner/toolbox/ManyEars/lib/
  3. (Optional) Start audioviewer
    1. audioviewer

Configuration

The following examples will output localization with OSC with the following configuration :

  • host = 127.0.0.1
  • port= 5678

Those settings can be changed by editing the .n files with FlowDesigner.


Microphone Array Configuration


Each microphone configuration must be ordered the same way they are connected to the sound card. Values are in cm.

Here is an example of the cube configuration :

<Matrix

<rows 8>
<cols 3>
<data

-18 16 -15.5
-18 16 15.5
18 16 -15.5
18 16 15.5
-18 -16 -15.5
-18 -16 15.5
18 -16 -15.5
18 -16 15.5

Here is an example of the planar octogonal configuration :

<Matrix

<rows 8>
<cols 3>
<data
12.5 30 0
-12.5 30 0
-30 12.5 0
-30 -12.5 0
-12.5 -30 0
12.5 -30 0
30 -12.5 0
30 12.5 0

Planar Array Configuration for 3D (with distance approximation)

  • Run This file for 3D localization
    • File:Tracking3D.n
    • Notice that the z value for all microphones in this example is 0 meaning that all microphones are in the same plane.

Standard Array Configuration (without distance approximation)

OSC Format (Updated)

  • Data is transmitted with Network byte order (MSB first)

//HEADER CONTAINS 24 BYTES
char header[12] = {'/','m','a','n','y','e','a','r','s', '\0', '\0','\0'};
char tags[12] = {',','i','f','f','f','f','f','f','f','\0','\0','\0'};

//DATA CONTAINS 32 BYTES
BinIO::write<int>(outputString,&id,1);
BinIO::write<float>(outputString,&x,1);
BinIO::write<float>(outputString,&y,1);
BinIO::write<float>(outputString,&z,1);
BinIO::write<float>(outputString,&strength,1);
BinIO::write<float>(outputString,&theta,1);
BinIO::write<float>(outputString,&phi,1);
BinIO::write<float>(outputString,&distance,1);


//TOTAL = 56 BYTES
