A new speech sources separation and speaker tracking technique is introduced based on microphone arrays.By means of spatial property of the received speech signals from microphone arrays
this method utilizes beamforming to estimate the DOA of the speaker of interest
and attenuates unwanted voices by nulling other directions.Considering the speech environments where the speaker may freely move and the background voices exist
an adaptive algorithm is used to track the movements and the source direction variations automatically.Computer simulations validate the effectiveness of the technique.Compared with the conventional methods
