Gas Leak Sound Localization Solution

We are seeking a skilled freelancer to develop a sound localization software for a gas leak detection system. The goal is to virtually listen to different areas using microphone arrays, identify noise sources by amplifying sound from specific directions while suppressing noise from others, and create real-time noise maps. These noise maps should be overlaid on a video image, enabling the visualization of the noise emitted by various sound sources. We shall have ...... Key Responsibilities: Software Development: Design and implement a sound localization algorithm that can process input from multiple microphone arrays, freq range 100hz to 80khz [login to view URL] This is the mic we are thinking of using. If you have an alternate, please suggest. Develop software to create noise maps in real time. Overlay noise maps on live video streams for visualization. Integration with Hardware: The software should be compatible with a microphone array. The exact number of microphones in the array will be determined based on your recommendations to achieve optimal accuracy and performance. Incorporate live video streams from thermal and optical cameras to enhance visualization. Real-Time Processing: Ensure the software can process audio and video feeds in real time. Implement noise suppression techniques to focus on sound sources of interest. User Interface: Develop a user-friendly interface to display the overlaid noise maps on video streams. Provide controls & embedded web server for users to adjust parameters and settings as needed, diagnostics & additional available data. Hardware Specifications: The system will also include a thermal camera, 2 regular optical cameras, smell sensor to reproduce/stream live images to a computer or mobile device. If your solution needs any of these outputs to improve performance, you may. These sensors will be installed close to the center of the system. The acoustic sensors will be around them. Deliverables: Fully functional sound localization cross platform software python or C#. Real-time noise maps overlaid on video streams. Detailed documentation of the software and its usage. All source code (pre-approved IDE) with good comments of main system, other dependencies. sensor hardware modifications or additions, layout of multiple sensors Qualifications: Proven experience in developing sound localization or related audio processing software to be submitted Experience with real-time processing and visualization. Familiarity with integrating multiple sensor feeds (microphones, thermal, and optical cameras). Strong programming skills in relevant languages and frameworks. Application Requirements: Portfolio of relevant projects done & show in a demo. Outline of the proposed approach, Coverage area and timeline. Any recommendations on the number, type & front cover of microphones to be used in the array. We look forward to working with a talented professional who can bring this project to life and help us develop an effective gas leak detection system for location & type of gas from the sensor. Use a RPI with Python or .NET core. The budget is placeholder only, submit your best bid & time delivery. Please do not bid if you do not or cannot meet the requirements. No upfront, BOT bids Please. Bid with all details requested and ask any questions in your response.
