Abstract:

Multiple source localization is an important task in acoustic signal processing with applications including dereverberation, source separation, source tracking and environment mapping. When using spherical microphone arrays, it has been previously shown that Pseudo-intensity Vectors (PIV), and Augmented Intensity Vectors (AIV), are an effective approach for direction of arrival estimation of a sound source. In this paper, we evaluate AIV-based localization in acoustic scenarios involving multiple sound sources. Simulations are conducted where the number of sources, their angular separation and the reverberation time of the room are varied. The results indicate that AIV outperforms PIV and Steered Response Power (SRP) with an average accuracy between 5 and 10 degrees for sources with angular separation of 30 degrees or more. AIV also shows better robustness to reverberation time than PIV and SRP.
