Abstract

In this paper, we present simulation and experimental studies of multiple bird source separation based on the Voxnet acoustic array node. The Approximate Maximum Likelihood (AML) method is used to estimate blindly the direction-of-arrivals(DOAs) of the sources to generate the steering vectors in order to separate the sources via beamforming. Simulation and measured data confirmed the proper operations of the AML beamforming algorithm and the Voxnet hardware node.
