Synopsis

Humans have a remarkable ability to localise and separate a single speech source in a noisy and cluttered multi-talker environment. This is particularly remarkable when one considers that we only use two ears (sensors) to do so. Steps to solving the "Cocktail Party Problem" include:

to recover and estimate the original sound source from the observed mixture signals recorded at microphones and
to localise and track a moving sound source accurately from the observed mixture of signals

The Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) method, also known as particle filtering will be investigated as a technique to achieve these objectives.
