In multi-speaker environments the direction of arrival (DOA) of a target speaker is key for improving speech clarity and extracting target speaker's voice. However, traditional DOA estimation methods often struggle in the presence of noise,…
Natural human-robot interaction in complex and unpredictable environments is one of the main research lines in robotics. In typical real-world scenarios, humans are at some distance from the robot and the acquired signals are strongly…
Real-time speech enhancement has began to rise in performance, and the Demucs Denoiser model has recently demonstrated strong performance in multiple-speech-source scenarios when accompanied by a location-based speech target selection…
The auditory system of humanoid robots has gained increased attention in recent years. This system typically acquires the surrounding sound field by means of a microphone array. Signals acquired by the array are then processed using various…
As we interact with the world, for example when we communicate with our colleagues in a large open space or meeting room, we continuously analyse the surrounding environment and, in particular, localise and recognise acoustic events. While…
This paper presents a sound source localization strategy that relies on a microphone array embedded in an unmanned ground vehicle and an asynchronous close-talking microphone near the operator. A signal coarse alignment strategy is combined…
Multi-source localization is an important and challenging technique for multi-talker conversation analysis. This paper proposes a novel supervised learning method using deep neural networks to estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) of all…
High data rate communication with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is of growing demand among industrial and commercial applications since the last decade. In this paper, we investigate enhancing beam forming performance based on signal…
Speaker localization for binaural microphone arrays has been widely studied for applications such as speech communication, video conferencing, and robot audition. Many methods developed for this task, including the direct path dominance…
The direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of sound sources has been a popular signal processing research topic due to its widespread applications. Using spherical microphone arrays (SMA), DOA estimation can be applied in the spherical…
This paper presents a method for real-time estimation of 2-dimensional direction of arrival (2D-DOA) of one or more sound sources using a nonlinear array of three microphones. 2D-DOA is estimated employing frame-level time difference of…
Localization of a wireless mobile device or a robot in indoor and GPS-denied environments is a difficult problem, particularly in dynamic scenarios where traditional cameras and LIDAR-based alternative sensing and localization modalities…
Direction-of-arrival estimation of multiple speakers in a room is an important task for a wide range of applications. In particular, challenging environments with moving speakers, reverberation and noise, lead to significant performance…
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…
In hearing aid applications, an important objective is to accurately estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) of multiple speakers in noisy and reverberant environments. Recently, we proposed a binaural DOA estimation method, where the DOAs…
Recently, a method has been proposed to estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) of a single speaker by minimizing the frequency-averaged Hermitian angle between an estimated relative transfer function (RTF) vector and a database of…
Deep learning-based direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation has gained increasing popularity. A popular family of DoA estimation algorithms is beamforming methods, which operate by constructing a spatial filter that is applied to array…
Supervised learning based methods for source localization, being data driven, can be adapted to different acoustic conditions via training and have been shown to be robust to adverse acoustic environments. In this paper, a convolutional…
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…
