| contents | Accurate Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) estimation in reverberant environments remains a fundamental challenge for spatial audio applications. While deep learning methods have shown strong performance in such conditions, they typically lack a mechanism to assess the reliability of their predictions - an essential feature for real-world deployment. In this work, we present the SRP-PHAT-NET, a deep neural network framework that leverages SRP-PHAT directional maps as spatial features and introduces a built-in reliability estimation. To enable meaningful reliability scoring, the model is trained using Gaussian-weighted labels centered around the true direction. We systematically analyze the influence of label smoothing on accuracy and reliability, demonstrating that the choice of Gaussian kernel width can be tuned to application-specific requirements. Experimental results show that selectively using high-confidence predictions yields significantly improved localization accuracy, highlighting the practical benefits of integrating reliability into deep learning-based DOA estimation. |
