Mic Array

Utils for ReSpeaker Microphone Array. It includes DOA (Direction of Arrival), VAD (Voice Activity Detection), KWS (Keyword Spotting or Keyword Search) and etc.

  • pixel_ring.py - control the pixel ring
  • mic_array.py - read 8 channels raw audio from the Mic Array and estimate sound's DOA (Direction of Arrival)
  • vad_doa.py - do VAD (Voice Activity Detection) and then estimate DOA
  • kws_doa.py - search keyword and then estimate DOA

Requirements

Get started

  1. Run pixel_ring.py to control the pixel ring of the Mic Array through USB HID

    sudo pip install pyusb
    sudo python pixel_ring.py
    

    If you don't want to access USB device with sudo, add a udev .rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d:

    echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", MODE="0666"' | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/60-usb.rules
    sudo udevadm control -R  # then re-plug the usb device
    
  2. Read 8 channels audio from the Mic Array and estimate sound's DOA

    sudo apt-get install python-numpy    # or pip install numpy
    python mic_array.py
    
  3. Do VAD and then estimate DOA

    sudo pip install webrtcvad
    python vad_doa.py
    
  4. Do KWS and then estimate DOA

    Get snowboy work and run python kws_doa.py

    git submodule init
    git submodule update
    cd snowboy/swig/Python
    sudo apt-get install python-dev libatlas-base-dev swig           # requiremetns to compile snowboy
    make                                                 # if got an error of swig3.x.x, edit the Makefile and disable the swig version check.
    echo 'from snowboydetect import *' > __init__.py     # create __init__.py for a python module
    cd ../../..                                          # chang to the root directory of the repository
    ln -s snowboy/swig/Python snowboydetect
    python kws_doa.py
    

For Raspberry Pi

Google released Google Assistant Library for Raspberry Pi to provide hotword detection ("Ok Google" or "Hey Google"), audio recording, assistant response playback and etc. We can add LED lights indicator based on the library to make a device very similar with Google Home.

  1. Follow the guide to install Google Assistant Library.
  2. Run python google_assistant_for_raspberry_pi.py

Use 4 Mic Array with ODAS to sound source localization and tracking

ODAS is a very cool project to perform sound source localization, tracking, separation and post-filtering. Let's have a try!

  1. get ODAS and build it
sudo apt-get install libfftw3-dev libconfig-dev libasound2-dev
git clone https://github.com/introlab/odas.git --branch=dev
mkdir odas/build
cd odas/build
cmake ..
make
  1. get ODAS Studio from https://github.com/introlab/odas_web/releases and open it. You can run ODAS Studio on a computer or the Raspberry Pi

The odascore will be at odas/bin/odascore, the config file is at odas.cfg. Change odas.cfg based on your sound card number.

    interface: {
        type = "soundcard";
        card = 1;
        device = 0;
    }

If you run the ODAS Studio on a computer, you should also need to change IP address from 127.0.0.1 to the IP of the computer.
