The tracking algorithm incorporates the estimation of time-variant covariance parameters by using an iterative block Expectation-Maximization algorithm to account for time-variant driving conditions and measurement quality. The proposed system is compared to an interacting multiple model approach (IMM) and achieves improved localization accuracy at lower computational complexity.

In this paper we propose a novel adaptation algorithm for a filter-and-sum beamformer to adjust the coefficients of FIR filters to changing acoustic room impulses, e.g. due to speaker movement. A deterministic and a stochastic gradient ascent algorithm are derived from a constrained optimization problem, which iteratively estimates the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue of the cross power spectral density of the microphone signals. The method does not require an explicit estimation of the speaker location. The experimental results show fast adaptation and excellent robustness of the proposed algorithm.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1109/ICASSP.2005.1416129","oa":"1","date_updated":"2022-01-06T06:51:12Z","department":[{"_id":"54"}],"title":"Acoustic filter-and-sum beamforming by adaptive principal component analysis"},{"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"year":"2004","type":"conference","citation":{"short":"E.

The two microphone signals are processed to obtain an enhanced single-channel input signal for the subsequent speech recognizer and to localize the acoustic source, an important information for establishing a natural human-robot communication. We utilize a robust adaptive algorithm for filter-and-sum beamforming (FSB) and extract speaker direction information from the resulting FIR filter coefficients. Further, particle filtering is applied which conducts a nonlinear Bayesian tracking of speaker movement. Good location accuracy can be achieved even in highly reverberant environments.
