DATA AIDED METHOD FOR ROBUST DIRECTION OF ARRIVAL (DOA) ESTIMATION IN THE PRESENCE OF SPATIALLY-COHERENT NOISE INTERFERERS

A method and apparatus to determine a direction of arrival (DOA) of a talker in the presence of a source of spatially-coherent noise. A time sequence of audio samples that include the spatially-coherent noise is received and buffered. Aided by previously known data, a trigger point is detected in th...

Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus to determine a direction of arrival (DOA) of a talker in the presence of a source of spatially-coherent noise. A time sequence of audio samples that include the spatially-coherent noise is received and buffered. Aided by previously known data, a trigger point is detected in the time sequence of audio samples when the talker begins to talk. The buffered time sequence of audio samples is separated into a noise segment and a signal-plus-noise segment based on the trigger point. For each direction of a plurality of distinct directions: an energy difference is computed for the direction between the noise segment and the signal-plus-noise segment, and the DOA of the talker is selected as the direction of the plurality of distinct directions having a largest of the computed energy differences.
