NUV-DoA: NUV Prior-based Bayesian Sparse Reconstruction with Spatial Filtering for Super-Resolution DoA Estimation
Mengyuan Zhao, Guy Revach, Tirza Routtenberg, Nir Shlezinger
Achieving high-resolution Direction of Arrival (DoA) recovery typically requires high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and a sufficiently large number of snapshots. This paper presents NUV-DoA algorithm, that augments Bayesian sparse reconstruction with spatial filtering for super-resolution DoA estimation. By modeling each direction on the azimuth's grid with the sparsity-promoting normal with unknown variance (NUV) prior, the non-convex optimization problem is reduced to iteratively reweighted least-squares under Gaussian distribution, where the mean of the snapshots is a sufficient statistic. This approach not only simplifies our solution but also accurately detects the DoAs. We utilize a hierarchical approach for interference cancellation in multi-source scenarios. Empirical evaluations show the superiority of NUV-DoA, especially in low SNRs, compared to alternative DoA estimators.
