Can I implement an Acoustic tracking camera using MATLAB

I have to design and implement a linear microphone array whose overall directivity is determined by a beamforming algorithm. The array will localize the largest amplitude voice in a room, in one horizontal plane, in a 180° area in front of the array. The array will control a video camera which will be automatically aimed to the location of the sound and which will be able to track the sound if it moves within the specific range of the array. TO control the camera, a stepper motor would be used.

They might already have one you can buy. I know they have acoustic cameras but I don't know if they "steer" to put the loudest sound at the center of the field of view. Anyway, if you can't buy one, then I guess the answer to your question is yes , you can most likely implement such a program in MATLAB. There is no built in acoustic camera steering toolbox, and I'm pretty sure none of us here have one, so you'll have to write it yourself . Good luck.
