Abstract:
This work tests the addition of BiLSTM layers to convolutional neural networks for Binaural Sound Source Localisation, with emphasis on improving the system’s robustness to reverberation and noise, in the context of full-horizontal plane localisation. This is tested through comparison of two sytems trained on identical datasets. Results from this show that the BiLSTM improved performance, along with improved robustness to reverberation and noise.
Key words:
binaural sound localization
convolutional recurrent neural network
sound source localization
