Measuring a room using acoustic information

Problem: Using an array of microphones and a speaker, develop a means of accurately mapping out a room (make a floor plan).


Background: This project was started over the summer with some undergraduate students, and some of the theory has been worked out. This would be a great project for a student to pick up that is interested in signal processing. We have a microphone array and some pointers on how to get started.


Skills: Math, programming, signal processing.


Cost: negligible.
Risk: moderate/high (this is a hard problem)
