Biomimetic Binaural Sound Source Localisation with Ego-Noise Cancellation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a spiking neural network (SNN) for binaural sound source localisation (SSL). The cues used for SSL were the interaural time (ITD) and level (ILD) differences. ITDs and ILDs were extracted with models of the medial superior olive (MSO) and the lateral superior olive (LSO). The MSO and LSO outputs were integrated in a model of the inferior colliculus (IC). The connection weights between the MSO and LSO neurons to the IC neurons were estimated using Bayesian inference. This inference process allowed the algorithm to perform robustly on a robot with ∼40 dB of ego-noise. The results showed that the algorithm is capable of differentiating sounds with an accuracy of 15◦.

Linear optimal source distribution mapping for binaural sound reproduction
Binaural playback over loudspeakers usually leads to crosstalk. The most effective strategy of general crosstalk cancellation systems is system inversion which, nevertheless, gives rise to several problems such as the loss of dynamic range and the lack of robustness. The optimal source distribution (OSD) method has been utilized to compromise the playback performance and the problems of the cro...
متن کاملExploiting top-down source models to improve binaural localisation of multiple sources in reverberant environments
Relatively few systems for machine hearing exploit top-down information in source localisation, despite there being clear evidence for top-down (e.g., attentional) effects in biological spatial hearing. This paper addresses this issue by proposing a framework for binaural sound localisation that exploits topdown knowledge about the source spectral characteristics in the acoustic scene. Informat...
متن کاملMotion strategies for binaural localisation of speech sources in azimuth and distance by artificial listeners
Localisation in azimuth and distance of sound sources such as speech is an important ability for both human and artificial listeners. While progress has been made, particularly for azimuth estimation, most work has been directed at the special case of static listeners and static sound sources. Although dynamic sound sources create their own localisation challenges such as motion blur, moving li...
متن کاملA biologically inspired spiking neural network model of the auditory midbrain for sound source localisation
This paper proposes a spiking neural network (SNN) of the mammalian subcortical auditory pathway to achieve binaural sound source localisation. The network is inspired by neurophysiological studies on the organisation of binaural processing in the medial superior olive (MSO), lateral superior olive (LSO) and the inferior colliculus (IC) to achieve a sharp azimuthal localisation of a sound sourc...
متن کاملBinaural sound source localisation and tracking using a dynamic spherical head model
This paper introduces a binaural model for the localisation and tracking of a moving sound source’s azimuth in the horizontal plane. The model uses a nonlinear state space representation of the sound source dynamics including the current position of the listener’s head. The state is estimated via an unscented Kalman Filter by comparing the interaural level and time differences of the binaural s...
