SOUND SOURCE LOCALIZATION METHOD AND SOUND SOURCE LOCALIZATION APPARATUS BASED COHERENCE-TO-DIFFUSENESS RATIO MASK

摘要

Provided is a sound source localization method including steps of: (a) receiving a mixed signal of a target sound source signal and noise and echo signals through multiple microphones including at least two microphones; (b) generating a binarized mask based on a diffuseness by using a coherence-to-diffuseness ratio CDR, which is information on the target sound source and the noise source, by using the input signal; (c) pre-processing an input signal to multiple microphones by using the generated binarized mask; and (d) performing a predetermined algorithm such as the GCC-PHAT or the SRP-PHAT on the pre-processed input signal to estimate a direction of the target sound source.
