Abstract
Methods and systems for localizing a sound source include determining a spatial transformation between a position of a reference microphone array and a position of a displaced microphone array. A sound is measured at the reference microphone array and at the displaced microphone array. A source of the sound is localized using a neural network that includes respective paths for the reference microphone array and the displaced microphone array. The neural network further includes a transformation layer that represents the spatial transformation.
