Multi-channel acoustic signal processing is a well-established and powerful tool to exploit the spatial diversity between a target signal and non-target or noise sources for signal enhancement. However, the textbook solutions for optimal…
Recently, there is a research trend on ad-hoc microphone arrays. However, most research was conducted on simulated data. Although some data sets were collected with a small number of distributed devices, they were not synchronized which…
Sound propagation is the process by which sound energy travels through a medium, such as air, to the surrounding environment as sound waves. The room impulse response (RIR) describes this process and is influenced by the positions of the…
