       abstract = {In this work, we address the problem of tracking an acoustic source
based on measured time differences of arrival (TDOA). The classical
solution to this problem consists in using a detector, which estimates
the TDOA for each microphone pair, and then applying a tracking
algorithm, which integrates the “measured” TDOAs in time. Such
a two-stage approach presumes 1) that TDOAs can be estimated reliably;
and 2) that the errors in detection behave in a well-defined
fashion. The presence of noise and reverberation, however, causes
larger errors in the TDOA estimates and, thereby, ultimately lowers
the tracking performance. We propose to counteract this effect by
considering a multiple hypothesis filter, which propagates the TDOA
estimation uncertainty to the tracking stage. That is achieved by considering
multiple TDOA estimates and then integrating the resulting
TDOA observations in the framework of a Gaussian mixture filter.
Experimental results show that the proposed filter has a significantly
lower angular error than a multiple hypothesis particle filter.},
