Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of voice signal processing, in particular to a microphone array beamforming method and device. Background technique [0002] Speech signal processing technology is a key technology in the field of human-computer interaction today, and microphone array beamforming can use spatial domain information to better enhance speech signals, which plays an extremely important role in back-end speech recognition. key technologies. [0003] The conventional microphone array beamforming method is to first estimate the direction of the sound source, and then perform operations such as phase compensation on the input multi-channel signal according to the estimated direction of the sound source, and then use methods such as minimum distortion-free response (MVDR) to perform beamforming to further suppress sidelobe interference. However, the actual speech environment is very complex, and there are a lot of interfering audio a...
