Speaker localization using eenhanced beamforming

Abstract EN

This paper deals with the speaker localization inside the room, the proposed system based on using distributed microphones arrays and benefit from its advantages over single microphone and enhances new method for speaker localization using direction of arrival DOA and enhanced Minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamforming method.

Each microphone array containing four microphones with uniform spaced on line is placed in a suitable location inside the room, the obtained results from the proposed system reveals the efficiency and robustness of proposed techniques comparing with other localization method.

It is also improves SNR computed to evaluate the enhanced beamforming the results show that the output signal is stronger against the noise and interferences.-
