Steered Response Power (SRP) is a widely used method for the task of sound source localization using microphone arrays, showing satisfactory localization performance on many practical scenarios. However, its performance is diminished under highly reverberant environments. Although Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have been previously proposed to overcome this limitation, most are trained for a specific number of microphones with fixed spatial coordinates. This restricts their practical application on scenarios frequently observed in wireless acoustic sensor networks, where each application has an ad-hoc microphone topology. We propose Neural-SRP, a DNN which combines the flexibility of SRP with the performance gains of DNNs. We train our network using simulated data and transfer learning, and evaluate our approach on recorded and simulated data. Results verify that Neural-SRP's localization performance significantly outperforms the baselines.
