2-D DOA tracking using variational sparse Bayesian learning embedded with Kalman filter

Abstract In this paper, we consider the 2-D direction-of-arrival (DOA) tracking problem. The signals are captured by a uniform spherical array and therefore can be analyzed in the spherical harmonics domain. Exploiting the sparsity of source DOAs in the whole angular region, we propose a novel DOA t...
