Device and method for sound localization

The present invention discloses a device and a method for sound localization, which can determine a direction of sound adequately. The device includes a spatial feature generator, a voice detector, an angle selector, and an angle retriever. The spatial feature generator generates M spatial feature signals according to signals of N microphones of a microphone array. The voice detector generates at least one voice detection signal according to at least one of the signals of the N microphones. The angle selector outputs a candidate angle signal according to the M spatial feature signals to indicate a candidate direction of sound. The angle retriever generates a sound detection result according to the M spatial feature signals to indicate whether any sound source exists, and then outputs an estimated angle signal indicative of a direction of sound according to the sound detection result, the at least one voice detection signal, and the candidate angle signal. 本发明公开了一种声音定位装置与方法，能够适当地决定语音来向。该声音定位装置包含：一空间特征发生器，用来依据一
