1. A method for computing a location of an acoustic source, comprising the steps of:

  • receiving acoustic signals from the acoustic source by an array of M-1 microphones and a reference microphone, each microphone identified by an integer microphone index m, 0≦

    m≦

    M-1;

    storing phase-delay look-up tables, the phase-delay look-up tables based upon a plurality of candidate source locations and a spatial configuration of the array of microphones; and

    processing the received acoustic signals using the phase-delay look-up tables to compute the location of the acoustic source.
