The article discusses the study of speaker localization using binaural microphone arrays. It explores methods such as the direct path dominance (DPD) test, which includes a transformation using the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), and a direction of arrival (DOA) search based on the head related transfer function (HRTF). The authors propose alternatives to these methods, inspired by human hearing, including an auditory filter bank to replace the STFT, and a new DOA search based on transformed HRTF. The proposed methods are validated through simulation and experimental studies, and show promising results.
