Spatial Sound Localization via Multipath Euclidean Distance Matrix Recovery

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Philip Neil Garner, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh, Saeid Haghighatshoar

A novel localization approach is proposed in order to find the position of an individual source using recordings of a single microphone in a reverberant enclosure. The multipath propagation is modeled by multiple virtual microphones as images of the actual ...

Structured Sparsity Models for Reverberant Speech Separation

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammad Golbabaee

We tackle the multi-party speech recovery problem through modeling the acoustic of the reverberant chambers. Our approach exploits structured sparsity models to perform room modeling and speech recovery. We propose a scheme for characterizing the room acou ...

Manifold Sparse Beamforming

Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Baran Gözcü

We consider the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamforming problems where the array covariance matrix is rank deficient. The conventional approach handles such rank-deficiencies via diagonal loading on the covariance matrix. In this settin ...

Computational Methods For Structured Sparse Component Analysis of Convolutive Speech Mixtures

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei

We cast the under-determined convolutive speech separation as sparse approximation of the spatial spectra of the mixing sources. In this framework we compare and contrast the major practical algorithms for structured sparse recovery of speech signal. Speci ...

Structured Sparse Coding for Microphone Array Location Calibration

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei

We address the problem of microphone location cali- bration where the sensor positions have a sparse spatial approximation on a discretized grid. We characterize the microphone signals as a sparse vector represented over a codebook of multi-channel signals ...

Multi-party Speech Recovery Exploiting Structured Sparsity Models

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

We study the sparsity of spectro-temporal representation of speech in reverberant acoustic conditions. This study motivates the use of structured sparsity models for efﬁcient speech recovery. We formulate the underdetermined convolutive speech separation i ...

Verified Speaker Localization Utilizing Voicing Level in Split-bands

Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

This paper proposes a joint verification-localization structure based on split-band analysis of speech signal and the mixed voicing level. To address the problems in reverberant acoustic environments, a new fundamental frequency estimation algorithm is pro ...
