Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is an important step in acoustic scene analysis. Multiple signal classification in the eigenbeam domain (EB-MUSIC) is an accurate direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation method for rigid spherical microphone arrays. Two important issues with this method are 1) the requirement of prior information about the number of coherent source components, and 2) its computational cost. In this paper, a computationally efficient two-stage method, which can alleviate these problems, is proposed. The proposed method is robust to reverberation, and can be used to efficiently localize multiple coherent sources. An evaluation of the method using simulated recordings under highly reverberant conditions is also presented.

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...
Multiple Sound Source Localization With Steered Response Power Density and Hierarchical Grid Refinement COTELI, Mert Burkay; OLGUN, Orhun; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2018-11-01) Estimation of the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of sound sources is an important step in sound field analysis. Rigid spherical microphone arrays allow the calculation of a compact spherical harmonic representation of the sound field. The standard method for analyzing sound fields recorded using such arrays is steered response power (SRP) maps wherein the source DOA can be estimated as the steering direction that maximizes the output power of a maximally directive beam. This approach is computationally costly s...
Data-driven Threshold Selection for Direct Path Dominance Test Olgun, Orhun; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin (2019-09-09) Direction-of-arrival estimation methods, when used with recordings made in enclosures are negatively affected by the reflections and reverberation in that enclosure. Direct path dominance (DPD) test was proposed as a pre-processing stage which can provide better DOA estimates by selecting only the time-frequency bins with a single dominant sound source component prior to DOA estimation, thereby reducing the total computational cost. DPD test involves selecting bins for which the ratio of the two largest sin...
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...
Entropy-based direction-of-arrival estimation methods for rigid spherical microphone arrays Olgun, Orhun; Hacıhabiboğlu, Hüseyin; Department of Modeling and Simulation (2019) Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of sound sources is a popular topic of research and has an important role in several different applications including spatial audio. Recent advances in microphone arrays made more accurate sound field analysis possible. Spherical microphone arrays afford a trivial calculation of spherical harmonic decomposition of sound fields and can be employed in different DOA estimation methods in spherical harmonics domain. This thesis proposes a novel DOA estimation method called ...
