摘      要:Deep neural network-based direction of arrival (DOA) estimation systems often rely on spatial features as input to learn a mapping for estimating the DOA of multiple talkers. Aiming to improve the accuracy of multi-talker DOA estimation for binaural hearing aids with a known number of active talkers, we investigate the usage of periodicity features as a footprint of speech signals in combination with spatial features as input to a convolutional neural network (CNN). In particular, we propose a multi-talker DOA estimation system employing a two-stage CNN architecture that utilizes cross-power spectrum (CPS) phase as spatial features and an auditory-inspired periodicity feature called periodicity degree (PD) as spectral features. The two-stage CNN incorporates a PD feature reduction stage prior to the joint processing of PD and CPS phase features. We investigate different design choices for the CNN architecture, including varying temporal reduction strategies and spectro-temporal filtering approaches. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated in static source scenarios with 2-3 talkers in two reverberant environments under varying signal-to-noise ratios using recorded background noises. To evaluate the benefit of combining PD features with CPS phase features, we consider baseline systems that utilize either only CPS phase features or combine CPS phase and magnitude spectrogram features. Results show that combining PD and CPS phase features in the proposed system consistently improves DOA estimation accuracy across all conditions, outperforming the two baseline systems. Additionally, the PD feature reduction stage in the proposed system improves DOA estimation accuracy while significantly reducing computational complexity compared to a baseline system without this stage, demonstrating its effectiveness for multi-talker DOA estimation.
