چکیده

This paper presents a new method for estimating the directions of source signals. We assume a situation in which multiple source signals are mixed in a reverberant condition and observed at several sensors. The new method is based on independent component analysis, which separates mixed signals into original source signals. It can be applied where the number of sources is equal to the number of sensors, whereas the conventional methods based on subspace analysis, such as the MUSIC algorithm, are applicable where there are fewer sources than sensors. Even in cases where the MUSIC algorithm can be applied, the new method is better at estimating the directions of sources if they are closely placed.

Implementation of the direction of arrival estimation algorithms by means of GPU-parallel processing in the Kuda environment (Research Article)

Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of audio signals is critical in different areas, including electronic war, sonar, etc. The beamforming methods like Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR), Delay-and-Sum (DAS), and subspace-based Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) are the most known DOA estimation techniques. The mentioned methods have high computational complexity. Hence using...

Real-time Blind Source Separation and Doa Estimation Using Small 3-d Microphone Array

We present a prototype system for real-time blind source separation (BSS) and directions of arrival (DOA) estimation. Our system uses a small three-dimensional array with 8 microphones and has the ability to separate signals distributed in threedimensional space. The mixed signals observed by the microphone array are processed by Independent Component Analysis (ICA) in the frequency domain. The...

Estimation of Direction of Arrival Using Matching Pursuit and Its Application to Source Separation

In this paper, we describe a new blind source separation (BSS) method that uses spatial information derived from the direction of arrival (DOA) estimates of each direct and reflected sound. The method we proposed has the following steps: (1) each DOA is estimated using matching pursuit and re-optimized after each new DOA is estimated, (2) using these DOA estimates, the mixing matrix is also est...

DOA estimation of speech signals using semi-blind source separation techniques

In this paper we investigate the application of complex independent component analysis (ICA) to the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation problem of wideband signals. The ICA based technique is semi-blind in the sense that the structure of the array is known to be uniform and linear (ULA). We show that when the array is ULA the mixing matrix is forced to have the structure imposed by the direct...
