  text: Today, we are often surrounded by devices with one or more microphones, such
    as smartphones, laptops, and wireless microphones. If they are part of an acoustic
    sensor network, their distribution in the environment can be beneficially exploited
    for various speech processing tasks. However, applications like speaker localization,
    speaker tracking, and speech enhancement by beamforming avail themselves of the
    geometrical configuration of the sensors. Therefore, acoustic microphone geometry
    calibration has recently become a very active field of research. This article
    provides an application-oriented, comprehensive survey of existing methods for
    microphone position self-calibration, which will be categorized by the measurements
    they use and the scenarios they can calibrate. Selected methods will be evaluated
    comparatively with real-world recordings.
