    Abstract

    This paper presents an algorithm for multiple source localization using a beamforming-inspired spatial covariance model (SCM) and complex non-negative matrix factorization (CNMF). In this work, we assume that the source signals are known in advance whereas the mixing filter is modeled by the weighted sum of direction of arrival (DOA) kernels which encode the phase and the amplitude differences between microphones for every possible source direction. The direction of arrival (i.e. azimuth and elevation) for each source is estimated using CNMF. The proposed system is evaluated for DOA estimation task using two datasets covering a large number of configurations (number of channels, number of simultaneous sources, reverberation time, microphones spacing, source types and angular positions of the sources). Finally, a comparison to other state-of-the-art methods is performed, showing the robustness of the proposed method.
