This paper presents a Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF)-guided framework for binaural Target Speaker Extraction (TSE) from mixtures of concurrent sources. Unlike conventional TSE methods based on Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation or…

In the task of speaker diarization, the number of small-scale meetings accounts for a large proportion. When microphone arrays are employed as a recording device, its spatial information is usually ignored by most researchers. In this…

Recently, a spatially selective non-linear filter (SSF) has been proposed for target speaker extraction, using the target direction-of-arrival (DOA) as a spatial cue. Since learned intermediate features are tied to the microphone geometry,…

In this work, we address the problem of binaural target-speaker extraction in the presence of multiple simultane-ous talkers. We propose a novel approach that leverages the individual listener's Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) to…

This paper introduces SMP-PHAT, which performs direction of arrival (DoA) of sound estimation with a microphone array by merging pairs of microphones that are parallel in space. This approach reduces the number of pairwise cross-correlation…

Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is an important task in microphone array processing and many downstream applications. The steered response power with phase transform (SRP-PHAT) method has been widely adopted for DOA estimation in…

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…

Beamforming with desired directivity patterns using compact microphone arrays is essential in many audio applications. Directivity patterns achievable using traditional beamformers depend on the number of microphones and the array aperture.…

Speaker Diarization (SD) aims at grouping speech segments that belong to the same speaker. This task is required in many speech-processing applications, such as rich meeting transcription. In this context, distant microphone arrays usually…

This study considers the problem of detecting and locating an active talker's horizontal position from multichannel audio captured by a microphone array. We refer to this as active speaker detection and localization (ASDL). Our goal was to…

For extracting a target speaker voice, direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is crucial for binaural hearing aids operating in noisy, multi-speaker environments. Among the solutions developed for this task, a deep learning convolutional…

This paper summarizes the methods used to localize the sources recorded for the LOCalization And TrAcking (LOCATA) challenge. The tasks of stationary sources and arrays were considered, i.e., tasks 1 and 2 of the challenge, which were…

The direction-of-arrival (DOA) of sound sources is an essential acoustic parameter used, e.g., for multi-channel speech enhancement or source tracking. Complex acoustic scenarios consisting of sources-of-interest, interfering sources,…

This document describes our submission to the 2018 LOCalization And TrAcking (LOCATA) challenge (Tasks 1, 3, 5). We estimate the 3D position of a speaker using the Global Coherence Field (GCF) computed from multiple microphone pairs of a…

The use of audio and visual modality for speaker localization has been well studied in the literature by exploiting their complementary characteristics. However, most previous works employ the setting of static sensors mounted at fixed…

Conventional approaches to sound source localization require at least two microphones. It is known, however, that people with unilateral hearing loss can also localize sounds. Monaural localization is possible thanks to the scattering by…

In this paper we present a new robust sound source localization and tracking method using an array of eight microphones (US patent pending) . The method uses a steered beamformer based on the reliability-weighted phase transform (RWPHAT)…

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,…
