| P_BF_MAXSOURCES |
|---|
| The number of potential sources that are generated from the localization module. This number does not correspond to the maximum number of sources to be tracked, but rather to the number of scans performed around the sphere to find potential sources. Since the sources are sporadically active over time, it is possible to track more sources than the number of potential sources. Increasing the number of scan usually provide the tracking module with more confident values about the active sources, but also significantly increase the computational load. The value can also be reduced to one for a single scan. This will not affect performances when a single source is tracked and will slightly reduce performances when many sources are tracked. Reducing this value to 1 will improve significantly real-time performances of the system. |
| P_BF_FILTERRANGE |
|---|
| This parameter deals with the fact that the microphones are never perfectly calibrated in terms of positions. The theroetical time-delay between a pair of microphone for a given signal may be slightly different than the measured time-delay. Given this parameter is represented by the variable d and the exact delay is given by the variable d0, then the system will look for best delay match over the range (d0-d) to (d0+d). There is usually no need to change this parameter. |
| P_BF_RESETRANGE |
|---|
| When there is more than one scan over the sphere, the delays associated to the previously found potential sources are reset to zero. The delays close to the exact delays are also reset. Given this parameter is represented by the variable r and the exact delay is given by the variable d0, then the system will reset the delays over the range (d0-r) to (d0+r). There is usually no need to change this parameter. |
| P_BF_ET |
|---|
| This parameter stands for the energy threshold to generate the probability associated to each potential source. Decreasing this level may improve source detection and tracking, but may also introduce false detections and bad tracking. Increasing this level may improve robustness to noise, but may also introduce missed detection and bad tracking. |
| P_FILTER_STDDEVIATION |
|---|
| When a new source is added, the particles sample a normal distribution, which means correspond to the position of the new source, and the standard deviation to this parameter. There is usually no need to change this parameter. |

| P_FILTER_INERTIAY |
|---|
| This parameter is used to speed up or slow down the motion of a source in the y-plane. When a source motion is limited on a given plane (e.g. the floor), this can improve the tracking performance. However, usually this parameter is set to one and does not influence the tracking. There is usually no need to change this parameter. |
| P_FILTER_INERTIAZ |
|---|
| This parameter is used to speed up or slow down the motion of a source in the z-plane. When a source motion is limited on a given plane (e.g. the floor), this can improve the tracking performance. However, usually this parameter is set to one and does not influence the tracking. There is usually no need to change this parameter. |

| P_FILTER_NEWCONST |
|---|
| This is the percentage of particles with a constant velocity state. It is important to ensure the sum of the parameters P_FILTER_NEWSTOP, P_FILTER_NEWCONST and P_FILTER_NEWEXC is 1.0.

|---|

|---|
| This parameter is no longer used in the new versions of the system. Do not modify. |
| P_MIXTURE_CUMULATIVETIMEPROB |
|---|
| Once a new source is being tracked, there is an additional probation time before displaying the source as being tracked. If the source is not observed (i.e. is below the threshold P_MIXTURE_TOBSPROB) during P_MIXTURE_CUMULATIVETIMEPROB iterations, then it is deleted. There is usually no need to change this parameter. |
| P_MIXTURE_TOBSPROB |
|---|
| Once a new source is being tracked, there is an additional probation time before displaying the source as being tracked. If the source is not observed (i.e. is below the threshold P_MIXTURE_TOBSPROB) during P_MIXTURE_CUMULATIVETIMEPROB iterations, then it is deleted. There is usually no need to change this parameter. |
| P_MIXTURE_CUMULATIVETIME1 |
|---|
| Once a new source is being tracked, it can be deleted if it is not observed (i.e. is below the threshold P_MIXTURE_TOBS1) during P_MIXTURE_CUMULATIVETIME1 iterations. Decreasing the threshold makes it harder to delete sources once they stop being active. Increasing the threshold may make the source being deleted even if it is still active. |
| P_MIXTURE_TOBS1 |
|---|
| Once a new source is being tracked, it can be deleted if it is not observed (i.e. is below the threshold P_MIXTURE_TOBS1) during P_MIXTURE_CUMULATIVETIME1 iterations.

|---|
| Once a new source is being tracked, it can be deleted if it is not observed (i.e. is below the threshold P_MIXTURE_TOBS2) during P_MIXTURE_CUMULATIVETIME2 iterations. Decreasing the threshold makes it harder to delete sources once they stop being active. Increasing the threshold may make the source being deleted even if it is still active. |
| P_MIXTURE_TOBS2 |
|---|
| Once a new source is being tracked, it can be deleted if it is not observed (i.e. is below the threshold P_MIXTURE_TOBS2) during P_MIXTURE_CUMULATIVETIME2 iterations. Decreasing the threshold makes it harder to delete sources once they stop being active. Increasing the threshold may make the source being deleted even if it is still active. |
| P_GSS_SOURCEDISTANCE |
|---|
| This parameter stands for the approximate source distance of the sources around the microphone array. The distance is not critical but an approximation of the usual distance between the sound source and the microphone array may improve the delay-and-sum beamformer separation. There is usually no need to change this parameter. |
| P_GSS_MU |
|---|

| P_POSTFILTER_DELTA |
|---|
| This parameter stands for the signal-to-reverberatan ratio. There is usually no need to change this parameter. |
| P_POSTFILTER_TETA_LOCAL |
|---|
| This parameter stands for a soft decision threshold used to detect speech activity in a local window. Do not modify. |
| P_POSTFILTER_TETA_GLOBAL |
|---|
| This parameter stands for a soft decision threshold used to detect speech activity in a global window. Do not modify. |
| P_POSTFILTER_TETA_FRAME |
|---|
| This parameter stands for a soft decision threshold used to detect speech activity in a frame. Do not modify. |
| P_POSTFILTER_ALPHAZETA |
|---|
| This parameter stands for an adaptation rate for the recursive estimation of the a priori SNR. Do not modify. |
| P_POSTFILTER_MAXQ |
|---|
| This parameter stands for the maximum a priori probability of speech absence. Do not modify. |
| P_POSTFILTER_GMIN |
|---|
| This parameter stands for the minimum gain when speech is absent. Do not modify. |
| P_POSTFILTER_LOCALWINDOWSIZE |
|---|
| This parameter stands for the number of bins in a local window. Do not modify. |
| P_POSTFILTER_GLOBALWINDOWSIZE |
|---|
| This parameter stands for the number of bins in a global window. Do not modify. |
| P_POSTFILTER_ALPHAPMIN |
|---|
| This parameter stands for the minimum value of the update rate of the a priori SNR. Do not modify. |
| P_OUT_GAIN |
|---|
| This parameter stands for the gain of the separated signals. A large gain may lead to clipping. |
| P_OUT_WAVEHEADERSIZE |
|---|
| This parameter stands for the number of bytes in the header of the wave files. Do not modify. |
| P_OUT_MINDURATION |
|---|
| This parameter is used for future developments and can be ignored. Do not modify. |
| P_OUT_INTERVALDURATION |
|---|
| This parameter is used for future developments and can be ignored. Do not modify. |
