While the majority of binaural beamformers aim to minimize the output noise power while (approximately) preserving the binaural cues of the sources using constraints, we propose in this paper to minimize the binaural-cue distortions of the sources in the acoustic scene, such that the output noise po…
Binaural cues are important for sound localization. In addition, spatially separated sound sources are more intelligible than when they are co-located. Binaural cue preservation in multi-microphone hearing assistive devices is therefore important for the user's listening experience and safety. A num…
We propose a new multi-microphone noise reduction technique for binaural cue preservation of the desired source and the interferers. This method is based on the linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) framework, where the constraints are used for the binaural cue preservation of the desired sou…
