Single-Channel Talker Localization Based on Discrimination of Acoustic Transfer Functions

This paper presents a sound source (talker) localization method using only a single microphone, where a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) of clean speech is introduced to estimate the acoustic transfer function from a user’s position. The new method is able to carry out this estimation without...
