While the majority of binaural beamformers aim to minimize the output noise power while (approximately) preserving the binaural cues of the sources using constraints, we propose in this paper to minimize the binaural-cue distortions of the sources in the acoustic scene, such that the output noise power …

In this paper, we perceptually evaluate two recently proposed binaural multi-microphone speech enhancement methods in terms of intelligibility improvement and binaural-cue preservation. We compare these two methods with the well-known binaural minimum variance distortionless response (BMVDR) method. …
