In the proposed method analyzes the steered response II. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM power (SRP) of the observed signals after nonlinearly mapped onto a higher-dimensional space. Since the mapping operation Here we formulate the signal model and the TDOA es- enhances the linear independence between different vectors by increasing the dimensionality of the observed signals, the timation problem. Suppose we have a target source whose TDOA analysis achieves higher resolution. The results of an amplitude is given by s (t), where t denotes the continuous experiment comparing the TDOA estimation performance of time. Our goal is to estimate the TDOA Δτ of the target source the proposed method with that of the conventional methods s (t) between two microphones in a room where reverberation reveal the robustness of the proposed method against noise and and noise exist. The observed signals are formulated as reverberation. x (t) = α
