[Poster Presentation] Directive beamforming based on probability weighted least square
Ryusuke Tanaka, Yoichi Haneda (UEC) EA2016-70
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Directivity beamforming using a microphone array has been currently implemented for noise suppres-
sion in video conferencing. However, directivity beamforming methods exhibit a trade-off between the directivity
and the lter gain. In this paper, we investigate the weighted least square method, whose lter and weight matrix
are given a priori distribution for controlling the trade-off. We expect that the weight matrix and regularization
parameter can be estimated appropriately by assuming a priori distribution. The proposed method is evaluated
by comparing it with the conventional method through a computer simulation, which leads to the directivity not
being formed appropriately in the proposed method. This is because the weight matrix could not be estimated
appropriately and the regularized parameter estimation tended to be too small.
