Acoustic source separation refers to the extraction of individual source signals from microphone array recordings of multiple sources made in multipath environments such as rooms. The most straightforward approach to acoustic source separation involves spatial filtering via beamforming. While beamforming works well for a few sources and under low reverberation, its performance diminishes for a high number of sources and/or high reverberation. An informed acoustic source separation method based on the application of orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) on complex-valued steered response (SR) maps is presented in this paper. It is shown that the proposed method is robust to a high level of reverberation and affords better source separation than maximally directive steered beamforming in terms of signal-to-interference and signal-to-distortion ratios.

Spherical harmonics based acoustic scene analysis for object-based audio
Çöteli, Mert Burkay; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Department of Information Systems (2021-2-19)
Object-based audio relies on elemental audio signals from individual sound sources and their associated metadata to be reconstructed at the listener side. While defining audio objects in a production setting is straightforward, it is not trivial to extract audio objects from more realistic recording scenarios such as concerts. Thus, existing object-based audio standards also define scene-based formats alongside objectbased representations that provide immersive audio, but without the flexibility provided by...
SOUND SOURCE LOCALISATION PERFORMANCE OF OPEN SPHERICAL ACOUSTIC INTENSITY PROBES UNDER REVERBERANT CONDITIONS
Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2014-04-25)
Open-spherical acoustic intensity probes are microphone arrays based on the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral and are used in the measurement of active acoustic intensity. The acoustic intensity measurements obtained by these arrays can be used to localise sound sources. Previously, the performance of these arrays in acoustic free field conditions were obtained using numerical simulations and it was shown that they provide better performance than other types of probes. This paper discusses the implementation of ...
ON THE ACCURACY OF OPEN SPHERICAL MICROPHONE ARRAYS FOR MEASURING ACOUSTIC INTENSITY
Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2013-10-23)
Acoustic intensity can be used for different purposes such as sound source localisation, source separation and spatial audio object coding. Three-dimensional measurement of the acoustic intensity requires the design of special microphone arrays. A theoretical analysis and numerical simulations of intensity measurements using open spherical microphone arrays are presented in this paper. The calculation of the acoustic intensity using signals from an open spherical microphone array is presented first. Error m...
Blind source separation and directional audio synthesis for binaural auralization of multiple sound sources using microphone array recordings
Günel Kılıç, Banu; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2008-01-01)
Microphone array signal processing techniques are extensively used for sound source localisation, acoustical characterisation and sound source separation, which are related to audio analysis. However, the use of microphone arrays for auralisation, which is generally related to synthesis, has been limited so far. This paper proposes a method for binaural auralisation of multiple sound sources based on blind source separation (BSS) and binaural audio synthesis. A BSS algorithm is introduced that exploits the ...
Multiple Sound Source Localization with Rigid Spherical Microphone Arrays via Residual Energy Test
Coteli, Mert Burkay; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2019-05-01)
The estimation of the directions-of-arrival (DOAs) of multiple sound sources is a fundamental stage in acoustic scene analysis. Many application areas such as robot audition and object-based audio (OBA) broadcast require that DOA estimation is computationally efficient to allow real-time operation. We propose a new DOA estimation approach based on a sparse representation of recorded sound fields as a linear combination of spatially bandlimited impulses in this paper. The proposed algorithm operates on a tim...
