Abstract

The present invention discloses a sound source positioning method and apparatus, solving the problem of low pickup accuracy in directed pickup of a target voice in the prior art. The method is applied to a terminal with two microphones at the top. The two microphones are respectively arranged at the front and the back of the terminal. The method comprises the steps of when the terminal is in a video call state, and when whether a target user exists in a shooting range of a camera is determined, collecting a sound signal by the two microphones and calculating, based on the collected sound signal, a sound pressure difference of the two microphones; determining, by using the sound pressure difference of the two microphones, whether conditions of determining a sound source direction with the sound pressure difference are met; if the conditions are met, determining, based on the sound pressure difference of the two microphones, whether the sound signal comprises a backward sound signal; and if it is determined that the sound signal comprises the backward sound signal, filtering the backward sound signal in the sound signal. In a low signal-to-noise ratio scenario, sound source positioning based on the sound pressure difference can help improve the pickup accuracy of the target sound source.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to a sound source localization method and device. Background technique [0002] Speech processing equipment will inevitably be interfered by various noises when collecting or inputting speech signals. In the actual voice communication system, the common noises include stationary noise and directional interference sound sources. These noises are easy to interfere with the target voice signal, seriously reducing the auditory comfort and intelligibility of the collected voice. Traditional noise estimation and single-channel speech enhancement algorithms are not ideal for suppressing directional interference noise. For this reason, it is necessary to design some systems with interference noise suppression capabilities according to the actual situation, so as to achieve the purpose of directional pickup of the target voice and the ability to suppress other noises.
