| contents | We propose a sound field estimation method based on kernel ridge regression using a rigid spherical microphone array. Kernel ridge regression with physically constrained kernel functions, and further with kernel functions adapted to observed sound fields, have proven to be powerful tools. However, such methods generally assume an open-sphere microphone array configuration, i.e., no scatterers exist within the observation or estimation region. Alternatively, some approaches assume the presence of scatterers and attempt to eliminate their influence through a least-squares formulation. Even then, these methods typically do not incorporate the boundary conditions of the scatterers, which are not presumed to be known. In contrast, we exploit the fact the scatterer here is a rigid sphere. Meaning, both the virtual scattering source locations and the boundary conditions are well-defined. Based on this, we formulate the scattered sound field within the kernel ridge regression framework and propose a novel sound field representation incorporating a boundary constraint. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical simulations and real-world experiments using a newly developed spherical microphone array. |
