How do you express the quantities that you are interested in?
MUSIC, ESPRIT, Prony, etc etc etc are just methods for estimating
tones (and envelopes) in 1-D.  So it depends on the engineer (i.e.
you)
to figure out how to map the desired quantities into what looks like
tones in 1-D.

One naive solution to your problem is to have a two arrays:  one to
find the horizontal angle and one to find the vertical angle.

MUSIC is what is known as the eigenstructure method. It computes the
eigenvalues (evals) and eigenvectors (evrs) of the covariance matrix
for an array of N elements. If the signals for the sources of interest
(usually interference sources whose power is above the noise floor)
are uncorrelated, then for a collection of M such sources, there will
be M evals (well above) unity. The evrs corresponding to these evals
are a basis for the steering vectors for the sources of interest. The
remaining evrs have evals of about 1 and they are called the "noise
evrs". They are useful because they are orthogonal to all of the
steering vectors for the sources. One uses some basic properties of
Hermitian matrices (such as the fact that the from different evals are
orthogonal) to find the source orientations. One way in which this is
done (so called "spectral MUSIC" method) is where one searches the
space of all possible orientations for the  source, computes the
steering vector for each orientation and then takes the reciprocal of
the projection of the steering vector onto the subspace spanned by the
noise evrs. The term "spectral" is used because when you find an
orientation corresponding to one of the sources, it will have a small
projection onto the noise subspace and thus the reciprocal of its
projection will produce a "spike" or peak that looks like a spectrum.

Unfortunately, there are not a lot of good sources that I know of to
steer you to, although if you Google "spectral MUSIC" you should find
something.

It works in 2D and 3D cases.  You just need to form the steering vectors
accordingly.  I think there are some papers published regarding 2D MUSIC
and you can then extend the idea to 3D.

Hi

Does the MUSIC algorithm works for 3D source localization?
As far as I know ,it works for angles of arrival between -90 and 90 for a
microphone array where 0 degrees is the angle at which the source
wavefronts arrive simultaneously at all sensors.How we can apply MUSIC in
3D?
If we cannot,which algorithm is the simplest one to start with;

Riz
