Abstract
According to one embodiment, a signal processing apparatus includes the following units. The transform unit transforms a first signal into a time-frequency domain to obtain a second signal, the first signal obtained by detecting sound at each of different positions. The first calculation unit calculates a first spatial correlation matrix based on the second signal. The second calculation unit calculates a second spatial correlation matrix based on a third signal obtained by delaying the second signal by a predetermined time. The spatial filter unit generates a spatial filter based on the first spatial correlation matrix and the second spatial correlation matrix, and filters the second signal by using the spatial filter.
