Abstract

This paper addresses the localization of an unknown number of acoustic sources in an enclosure. We extend a well established algorithm for localization of acoustic sources, which is based on the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm for clustering of phase differences by a Gaussian mixture model. Supporting a more appropriate probabilistic model for spherical data such as direction of arrival or phase differences, the von Mises distribution is used to derive a localization algorithm for multiple simultaneously active sources. Experiments with simulated room impulse responses confirm the superiority of the proposed algorithm to the existing method in terms of localization performance.
