Abstract

The embodiments of the invention provide a steady voice source direction finding method and apparatus. The method comprises the following steps: based on sound signals acquired by a microphone array, obtaining a beam pattern of each time-frequency slice and performing clustering on extreme points of the beam patterns so as to obtain a direction of a voice source, wherein one beam pattern is obtained for each time frequency slice through assuming that only one voice source signal plays a major role at each time frequency slice. The method and apparatus can convert the problem of multiple sound sources into a problem of single-source direction estimation, and also improves the resolution while simplifying the operation amount.

Description

technical field [0001] The sound source localization technology of the present invention, more specifically, relates to a method and device for measuring the direction of a voice sound source. Background technique [0002] Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation is an important technology in array signal processing, and has important applications in radar, sonar, voice and other fields. Especially for intelligent hardware that can be used for voice interaction, robust DOA estimation is needed to determine the direction of the speaker, and then beamforming technology can be used to enhance the speaker's voice. [0003] At present, the DOA estimation of the speech sound source mainly utilizes the time delay estimation two-step method. The first step is to calculate the correlation function between the microphone pair, and the time corresponding to the extreme point of the correlation function is the delay between the arrival of the sound wave between the two microphones. When ...
