Computation of spherical sector harmonics norm with application to blind source separation
1Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi 110016, India.
Abstract:
Spherical microphone arrays (SMAs) are widely being used for source localization and separation. However, it is uneconomical to build a full SMA when sources are present in restricted regions of environment. Hence, a spherical sector microphone array is utilized for blind source separation for the first time. In particular, the norm of the spherical sector harmonics basis function is computed for mixing matrix estimation. The estimated steering vectors are clustered using mean-shift algorithm. The number of sources is estimated automatically from the number of clusters. The developed mathematical framework is verified using various simulations and experiments on real data.
