Abstract

A common discrete implementation of the cross correlator uses a parabolic fit to the peak when the delay is not an integral multiple of the sampling period. This correspondence analyzes and assesses the pitfalls of this approach. It is shown that this yields a biased estimate of the time delay, with both the bias and variance of the estimate dependent on the location of the delay between samples, SNR, signal and noise bandwidths, and the prefilter or window used in the generalized correlator.

  • The estimated cross-correlation function can be approximated by a concave parabola in the neighborhood of its maximum because its mathematical expectation is band limited and presents a symmetric peak around the true time delay.

    “Since its mathematical expectation is shown to be band limited and present a symmetric peak around the true time delay, the estimated crosscorrelation function can be approximated by a concave parabola in the neighborhood of its maximum [40, 63, 64].”

    From Time Delay Estimation in Room Acoustic Environments: An Overview (2006) · cites this paper as [63]

    The Introduction (p. 610) describes fitting a parabola near the correlation peak, and the Theory section describes fitting one to three samples around the estimated maximum. The analysis also invokes symmetry, but the passages do not state that the expectation is band-limited or give band limitation and a symmetric peak around the true delay as the reason the parabolic fit works. The paper cautions that this fit yields a biased delay estimate. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
