On behalf of the organising committee, I am pleased to announce the release of the development dataset for the IEEE-AASP Challenge on Acoustic Source Localization and Tracking (LOCATA).
The aim of this challenge is to provide researchers in the field of acoustic source localization and tracking the opportunity to benchmark their...

Abstract:
Intuitive spoken dialogues are a prerequisite for human-robot interaction. In many practical situations, robots must be able to identify and focus on sources of interest in the presence of...

Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel audio-visual tracking approach that exploits constructively audio and visual modalities in order to estimate trajectories of multiple people in a joint state space. The...

Abstract:
Accurate estimation of the Direction of Arrival (DOA) of a sound source is an important prerequisite for a wide range of acoustic signal processing applications. However, in enclosed environments, early reflections and late...

Abstract:
Speaker localization algorithms often assume static location for all sensors. This assumption simplifies the models used, since all acoustic transfer functions are linear time invariant. In many applications this...

Abstract:
Direction of arrival estimation using a spherical microphone array is an important and growing research area. One promising algorithm is the recently proposed Subspace Pseudo-Intensity Vector method. In this contribution...

Abstract:
Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation is a fundamental problem in acoustic signal processing. It is used in a diverse range of applications, including spatial filtering, speech dereverberation, source separation and diarization. Intensity vector-based DOA...

Abstract:
The accuracy of direction of arrival estimation tends to degrade under reverberant conditions due to the presence of reflected signal components which are correlated with the direct path. The recently proposed...
