Abstract

We introduce a novel approach for source number estimation through an adaptive fuzzy c-means clustering. Spatial feature vectors are extracted from microphone observations, weighted for reliability and then clustered in a full-band manner using an adaptive variation on the fuzzy c-means. A number of quality measures are combined to produce a weighted sum which is used to find the optimal number of clusters at each iteration of the clustering algorithm. Experimental evaluations using real-world recordings from a reverberant room (RT60 = 390 ms) demonstrated encouraging performance in both even- and under-determined conditions. © 2014 IEEE.
