Abstract: We propose a novel real-time adaptative localization approach for multiple sources using a circular array, in order to suppress the localization ambiguities faced with linear arrays, and assuming a weak sound source sparsity which is derived from blind source separation methods. Our proposed method performs very well both in simulations and in real conditions at 50% real-time.
