An approach to the estimation of the Direction of Arrival (DOA) of wide-band signals with a planar microphone array is presented. Our algorithm estimates an unambiguous DOA using a single planar array in which the microphones are placed…
Conventional direction of arrival (DOA) estimators are based on array processing using either time differences or beamforming. The proposed approach is based on the received power at each microphone, which enables simple hardware, low…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have greatly benefited direction of arrival (DoA) estimation methods for speech source localization in noisy environments. However, their localization accuracy is still far from satisfactory due to the…
Wideband direction of arrival (DOA) estimation techniques for sensors array have been studied extensively in the literature. Nevertheless, needing prior information on the number and directions of sources or demanding heavy computational…
Estimation of the direction-of-arrival (DoA) of a speaker in a room is important in many audio signal processing applications. Environments with reverberation that masks the DoA information are particularly challenging. Recently, a DoA…

This article focuses on estimating relative transfer functions (RTFs) for beamforming applications. Traditional methods often assume that spectra are uncorrelated, an assumption that is often violated in practical scenarios due to factors…
Direction-of-arrival (DoA) is a critical parameter in wireless channel estimation. With the ever-increasing requirement of high data rate and ubiquitous devices in wireless communication systems, effective wideband DoA estimation is…
Many multi-microphone speech enhancement algorithms require the relative transfer function (RTF) vector of the desired speech source, relating the acoustic transfer functions of all array microphones to a reference microphone. In this…

The problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in the presence of nonuniform sensor noise is considered and a novel algorithm is developed. The algorithm consists of three phases. First, the diagonal nonuniform sensor noise covariance…
A popular method to estimate the positions or directions-of-arrival (DOAs) of multiple sound sources using an array of microphones is based on steered-response power (SRP) beamforming. For a three-dimensional scenario, SRP-based methods…
Accurately estimating the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of a speech source using a compact microphone array (CMA) is often complicated by background noise and reverberation. A commonly used DOA estimation method is the steered response power…
Range estimation of a far field sound source in a reverberant environment is known to be a notoriously difficult problem, hence most localization methods are only capable of estimating the source's Direction-of-Arrival (DoA). In an earlier…
Most of the prior studies in the spatial \ac{DoA} domain focus on a single modality. However, humans use auditory and visual senses to detect the presence of sound sources. With this motivation, we propose to use neural networks with audio…
