Noise reduction technologies have been applied to enhance the intelligibility of voice communications. However, existing methods are vulnerable to complex non-stationary noisy conditions, which are commonly encountered in real world hands-free scenarios. Additionally, the existing methods do not ful…
Methods are available for simultaneous localization of multiple (unknown) audio sources using microphone arrays. Typical algorithms aim at localizing all active sources. They moreover require that the number of sources is known and is less than or equal the number of microphones. This constraint can…
We propose a novel formulation of the generalized cross correlation with phase transform (GCC-PHAT) for a pair of microphones in diffuse sound field. This formulation elucidates the links between the microphone distances and the GCC-PHAT output. Hence, it leads to a new model that enables estimation…
We propose to use non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) to estimate the unknown pairwise distances and reconstruct a distance matrix for microphone array position calibration. We develop new multiplicative update rules for NMF with incomplete input matrix that take into account the symmetry of the…
We propose a novel algorithm to design an optimum array geometry for source localization inside an enclosure. We assume a square-law decay propagation model for the sound acquisition so that the additive noise on the measured source-microphone distances is proportional to the distances regardless of…
