With the presentation of our EARS tutorial on Embodied Audition for Robots, I have now publicly released the first version of the Matlab EARS Map objects.

The EARS map objects are Matlab classes designed to store and visualise data for acoustic scene mapping. EARS map objects allow the storage of a) individual speakers at one time step using a mapFeature object, b) a collection of speakers at one time step using a map object, and c) a trajectory of the evolution of a map objects over time using a mapFeature object. The objects are designed to contain data from both sound source localisation (SSL) as well as speaker tracking algorithms to provide a complete representation of the acoustic scene.

The MATLAB code can be found at: https://github.com/cevers/ears_map_objects
