Sound Capture for Human / Machine Interfaces: Practical Aspects of Microphone Array Signal Processing (Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences)

With a continuously increasing desire for natural and comfortable human/machine interaction, the acoustic interface of any terminal for multimedia or telecommunication services is challenged to allow seamless and hands-free audio communication. Sound Capture for Human-Machine Interfaces introduces the practical aspects of microphone array signal processing and presents various combinations of beamforming and acoustic echo cancellation.
