Abstract
A processor-implemented method for spatial sound characterization is described. In one implementation, each of a plurality of source signals detected by a plurality of sensing devices, is segmented into a plurality of time frames. For each time frame, time-frequency transform of the source signals is derived, an estimated number of sources and at least one estimated direction of arrival corresponding to each of the source signals is obtained. Further, source signals are extracted by spatial separation based at least on the estimated directions of arrival and the estimated number of sources, and separated source signals are processed to yield a reference signal and side information.
