Separating and Tracking two Moving Speakers in a Reverberant environment using a Glimpsing method (DEMO PAGE)

Alireza Masnadi-Shirazi and Bhaskar D. Rao

Simulated room mixtures:

1. Used Image method to simulate room mixing

2. Distance between the two microphones in each array was 4 cm

Notes:

1-Circle represents the true trajectory and triangle represents the estimated trajectory

2-The sources turn Green when active and White when silent.
