Multiple sound sources localization is a hot topic in audio signal processing and is widely utilized in many application areas. This paper proposed a multiple sound sources localization method based on a statistically dominant source component removal (SDSCR) algorithm by soundfield microphone. The existence of the statistically weak source (SWS) among soundfield microphone signals is validated by statistical analysis. The SDSCR algorithm with joint an intra-frame and inter-frame statistically dominant source (SDS) discriminations is designed to remove the component of SDS while reserve the SWS component. The degradation of localization accuracy caused by the existence of the SWS is resolved using the SDSCR algorithm. The objective evaluation of the proposed method is conducted in simulated and real environments. The results show that the proposed method achieves a better performance compared with the conventional SSZ-based method both in sources localization and counting.
