摘要:

Existing methods for moving sound source localization and tracking face significant challenges when dealing withan unknown number of sound sources, which substantially limits their practical applications. This paper proposes amoving sound source tracking method based on source signal envelopes that does not require prior knowledge ofthe number of sources. First, an encoder-decoder attractor (EDA) method is used to estimate the number of sourcesand obtain an attractor for each source, based on which the signal envelope of each source is estimated. This signalenvelope is then used as a clue for tracking the target source. The proposed method has been validated throughsimulation experiments. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately estimate thenumber of sources and precisely track each source.
