contents Real-time speech extraction is an important challenge with various applications such as speech recognition in a human-like avatar/robot. In this paper, we propose the real-time extension of a speech extraction method based on independent low-rank matrix analysis (ILRMA) and rank-constrained spatial covariance matrix estimation (RCSCME). The RCSCME-based method is a multichannel blind speech extraction method that demonstrates superior speech extraction performance in diffuse noise environments. To improve the performance, we introduce spatial regularization into the ILRMA part of the RCSCME-based speech extraction and design two regularizers. Speech extraction experiments demonstrated that the proposed methods can function in real time and the designed regularizers improve the speech extraction performance.
