Abstract
This paper is concerned with machine localisation of multiple active speech sources in reverberant environments using two (binaural) microphones. Such conditions typically present a problem for `classical' binaural models. Inspired by the human ability to utilise head movements, the current study investigated the influence of different head movement strategies on binaural sound localisation. A machine-hearing system that exploits a multi-step head rotation strategy for sound localisation was found to produce the best performance in simulated reverberant acoustic space. This paper also reports the public release of a free binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) database that allows the simulation of head rotation used in this study.
