This approach reduces the number of pairwise cross-correlation computations, and brings down the number of flops and memory lookups when searching for DoA. Experiments on low-cost hardware with commonly used microphone arrays show that the proposed method provides the same accuracy as the former SRP-PHAT approach, while reducing the computational load by 39% in some cases.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.14409v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.14409v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"smp-phat-lightweight-doa-estimation-by","repo_url":"https://github.com/francoisgrondin/smpphat","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
