Standard methods based on cross-correlation of the signals show poor results in cases involving strong reverberation, large distances between microphones and asynchronous recordings. Under similar conditions, a method based on cross-correlation of temporal envelopes of the signals delivers a delay estimation of acceptable quality. This method and its properties are described and investigated in detail, including its limits of applicability. The method’s optimal parameter estimation and a comparison with other known methods of time delay estimation are also provided. }, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {8}, number = {2}, year = {2014}, pages = {278 - 285}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9997508}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/86}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 86, 2014}, }
