Abstract

The application discloses a conference speech display system, a sound source localization method and device, a conference system, and sound pickup equipment. Wherein, the method includes: collecting a multi-channel voice signal through a directional microphone array; determining a steering vector including phase information and amplitude information according to the array shape information and microphone pointing direction information; according to the steering vector and the voice signal, Determine sound source direction information. With this processing method, both phase information and amplitude information are taken into consideration when determining the steering vector, which can effectively improve the accuracy of sound source localization.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of voice processing, in particular to a conference speech display system, a sound source localization method and device, a conference system, and sound pickup equipment. Background technique [0002] The basic functions of audio and video equipment in conference scenarios include speaker tracking. To realize the speaker tracking function, it is necessary to locate the speaker in real time. Sound Localization is the determination of the spatial position of the sound source, and the accuracy of the sound source localization directly affects the accuracy of speaker tracking. [0003] A typical sound source localization method is a microphone-based Direction of Arrival (DOA) method. Microphone-based DOA methods include two types: DOA methods based on omnidirectional microphones and DOA methods based on directional microphone arrays. Because the DOA method based on omnidirectional microphone array is...
