Geiger iterative algorithm is very strict to the initial value. If the initial value is not selected suitably, it is difficult to enter the convergence range, thus increasing the number of iterations. The acoustic emission source location based on phase difference time delay estimation method reduces the error of acoustic emission location, but it has some shortcomings in accuracy. Based on the above problems, this paper presents a new algorithm for Geiger optimization based on source localization. Firstly, the initial value of Geiger is obtained by using the phase difference method. Then, the optimal solution is obtained by the iterative solution of Geiger algorithm and the least square method. The simulation results show that this method can effectively solve the problem of selecting the initial value of Geiger, so that it can quickly enter the convergence range, improving the convergence speed and positioning accuracy, comparing the positioning results of the United States PCI-2 type acoustic emission instrument, the average error reduced by about 5 mm.
