Abstract
A method of multi-talker separation using a 3-tuple coprime microphone array, including generating, by a subarray signal processing module, a respective subarray data set for each microphone subarray of the 3-tuple coprime microphone array based, at least in part, on an input acoustic signal comprising at least one speech signal. The input acoustic signal is captured by the 3-tuple coprime microphone array. The 3-tuple coprime microphone array includes three microphone subarrays. The method includes determining, by the subarray signal processing module, a point by point product of the three subarray data sets; and determining, by the subarray signal processing module, a cube root of the point by point product to yield an acoustic signal output data. The acoustic signal output data has an output amplitude and an output phase corresponding to an input amplitude and an input phase of a selected speech signal of the at least one speech signal.
