The unitary matrix pencil (UMP) method has been successfully applied to antenna array
optimization. In this paper, the UMP method is applied to the parameter estimation of target …

An efficient number estimation method is proposed for target detection by using the forward‐
backward matrix pencil method. Compared with the traditional parameter estimation …

In this paper, a new speaker counting algorithm is proposed by novel zig-zag nested array
(ZZNA) combining with adaptive generalized cross-correlation (GCC) function (with phase …

Speech processing algorithms, especially sound source localization (SSL), speech
enhancement, and speaker tracking are considered to be the main fields in this application …

This technical summary is structured as follows. First, we provide an introduction of the
context and motivations of this work, including the objectives set for the thesis. After that, a …

Classifying the number of simultaneous speakers in a reverberant environment remains a
difficult problem to solve. The less complicated but no less important problem of detecting …
