Principle of the method
The schematics bellow presents the CLEAN-T algorithm implemented in this repository.
Note
The subject is supposed in this example to be a plane but it can be any object as long as you provide its trajectory and a possible source grid sourounding it.
As depicted in the central part of the schematics, CLEAN-T is based on the used of the time-domain formulation of moving source propagation and beaforming to iteratively :
compute the beamforming over the given grid (or focal plan)
localise the maximum
isolate the temporal signal comming from the maximum location
propagate the signal to the microphones
substract the propagated signals to the previously stored signals
If a multi-frequency analysis is performed, the left block of the schematics is performed in order to filter each microphone signal in the moving-source related domain (thus dedopplerising, filtering and re-dopplering the signals).
