Gianni,

Have you investigated the paradigm [1] involved using the VSIP (vector
sound-intensity probe)?  It uses the tetrahedron and yields azimuth and
pitch to the source.

I'm working on wideband multichannel recordings made with 4 hydrophones mounted on a 3D structure; something similar to a tetrahedron, with 3 hydrophones mounted on an horizontal plane and the fourth higher then the other 3. The spacing among the phones is roughly 2 meters. I'm searching an algorithm to calculate the direction (bearing and elevation) of an acoustic source given the time delays I measure among the four hydrophones and their 3D coordinates.
Any hint will be much appreciated!
