Blind Capon Beamformer Based on Independent Component Extraction: Single-Parameter Algorithm,

Zbyněk Koldovský, Jaroslav Čmejla, Stephen O'Regan

We consider a phase-shift mixing model for linear sensor arrays in the context of blind source extraction. We derive a blind Capon beamformer that seeks the direction where the out…

Comparison of Frequency-Fusion Mechanisms for Binaural Direction-of-Arrival Estimation for Multiple Speakers

Daniel Fejgin, Elior Hadad, Sharon Gannot +2

To estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) of multiple speakers with methods that use prototype transfer functions, frequency-dependent spatial spectra (SPS) are usually constructe…

Performance Analysis of Source Image Estimators in Blind Source Separation

Zbyněk Koldovský, Francesco Nesta

Blind methods often separate or identify signals or signal subspaces up to an unknown scaling factor. Sometimes it is necessary to cope with the scaling ambiguity, which can be don…
