Generalized amplitude interpolation by β-divergence for virtual microphone array
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a generalization of the virtual microphone array we previously proposed to increase the microphone elements by nonlinear interpolation. In the previous work, we generated a virtual observation from two actual microphones by an interpolation in the logarithmic domain. This corresponds to a linear interpolation of the phase and the geometric mean of the amplitude. In this paper, we generalize this interpolation using a linear interpolation of the phase and a nonlinear interpolation of the amplitude with adjustable nonlinearity based on β-divergence. Improvement of the array signal processing performance is obtained by appropriate tuning of the parameter β. We evaluate the improvement in speech enhancement using a maximum SNR beamformer.

Microphone Array Method for the Characterization of Rotating Sound Sources in Axial Fans
Methods based on microphone array measurements provide a powerful tool for determining the location and magnitude of acoustic sources. For stationary sources, sophisticated algorithms working in the frequency domain can be applied. By using circularly arranged arrays and interpolating between microphone signals it is possible to treat rotating sources, as are present in fans, as being non-movin...
متن کاملRobust Tde-based Doa Estimation for Compact Audio Arrays
Cross-correlation based time delay estimates (TDE) can be used for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation with an acoustic array in not-too-reverberant environments. In order to benefit from the computational efficiency of TDE-based DOA estimation, and concentrating on applications that use a compact microphone array and low sampling frequency, we use a combination of approaches to make TDE-base...
متن کاملCompensation of undesired Doppler artifacts in virtual microphone simulations
Virtual Microphone Control (ViMiC) is a real-time multichannel spatial sound rendering technique based on sound recording principles. In an auditory virtual environment, ViMiC simulates multichannel microphone techniques, resulting in the characteristic Inter-Channel Time Differences (ICTD) and Inter-Channel Level Differences (ICLD) to create the spatial image of a sound scene. When virtual sou...
متن کاملA real-time super-resolution robot audition system that improves the robustness of simultaneous speech recognition
This study addresses a framework for a robot audition system, including sound source localization (SSL) and sound source separation (SSS), that can robustly recognize simultaneous speeches in a real environment. Because SSL estimates not only the location of speakers but also the number of speakers, such a robust framework is essential for simultaneous speech recognition. Moreover, improvement ...
