Girod, "A Self-Calibrating System of Distributed Acoustic Arrays", Ph.D. Thesis, UCLA, 2005. .pdf (Note that the results of the test in the forest have been improved since the thesis was published. We found that the largest source of error in our results were inaccuracies in our initial survey of ground truth. After re--surveying, we achieved the results quoted above.)
