Abstract
This application discloses a method for positioning a target audio signal by a computer device. The method includes: performing echo cancellation on the audio signals collected in a plurality of directions in a space, the audio signals comprising a target-audio direct signal; obtaining weights of a plurality of time-frequency points in the echo-canceled audio signals, a weight of each time-frequency point indicating a relative proportion of the target-audio direct signal in the echo-canceled audio signals at the time-frequency point; obtaining a weighted audio signal energy distribution of the audio signals in the plurality of directions by using the weights of the plurality of time-frequency points in the echo-canceled audio signals; and obtaining a sound source azimuth corresponding to the target-audio direct signal in the audio signals by using the weighted audio signal energy distribution of the audio signals in the plurality of directions.
