Abstract: | Sound source localization is essential in many microphone arrays application, ranging from teleconferencing systems to artificial perception in a reverberant noisy environment. The steered response power (SRP) using the phase transform (SRP-PHAT) source localization algorithm has been proved robust, however, the performance of the SRP-PHAT algorithm degrades in highly reverberant noisy environment. Though the SRP-based maximum likelihood localizers are more robust than SRP-PHAT, they have the drawback of requiring noise variance to be estimated in a silent room. This paper presents an improved SRP-PHAT algorithm based on principal eigenvector. Sound source location is estimated from the principal eigenvector computed from the frequency-domain correlation matrix. Using both simulated and real data, we show that the proposed algorithm achieves higher source localization accuracy compared to the SRP-PHAT algorithm. |
