description Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is a fundamental technique in array signal processing due to its wide applications in beamforming, speech enhancement and many other assistive speech processing technologies. In this paper, we devise a novel DOA technique based on randomized singular value decomposition (RSVD) to improve the performance of non-uniform non-linear microphone arrays (NUNLA). The accurate and efficient singular value decomposition of large data matrices is computationally challenging, and randomization provides an effective tool for performing matrix approximation, therefore, the developed DOA estimation utilizes a modified dictionary-based RSVD method for localizing single speech sources under low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR).
