Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: providing a first signal from a first acoustic sensor and a second signal from a second acoustic sensor spaced apart from the first acoustic sensor, the first signal and the second signal each corresponding to two or more acoustic sources, said acoustic sources including a plurality of interfering sources and a desired source; localizing the interfering sources from the first and second signals to provide a corresponding number of interfering source signals each corresponding to a different one of the interfering sources and each including a plurality of frequency components, the components each corresponding to a different frequency; and for each of the interfering source signals, suppressing one of the frequency components, wherein the one of the frequency components suppressed for any one of the interfering source signals differs from the one of the frequency components suppressed for any other of the interfering source signals.
