Abstract
The previous study discussed the sound source identification methods and the visualization methods such as an acoustic holography (AH) method, and a MUSIC method. However, there are few studies on the sound source identification method using a microphone directivity pattern. Nevertheless, we have to consider the directivity pattern of used microphones when we actually apply these identification methods. This paper discusses effect of the directivity pattern upon the identification error through the computation and the experimental examination when we used the AH, and MUSIC methods. Furthermore, this paper proposes the identification methods which can consider the microphone directivity pattern for the AH and MUSIC methods.
