Abstract

In this study, we explore a direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation approach using the steered response power with phase transform (SRP-PHAT) and DeepSphere, a graph-based spherical convolutional neural network (CNN) suitable for spherical topology. The SRP-PHAT maps were adjusted to the Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization (HEALPix) algorithm. We performed simulations for an Eigenmike spherical microphone array and different resolutions of the SRP-PHAT maps. Results show an improvement for the lower resolution maps, as the mean angular error for the Spherical CNN-derived maps was reduced by about half when compared with the original maps.
