19 Challenges for Beamforming on Non- Point Sources Often necessary to estimate the source directivity and orientation The source model needs to be computationally efficient (finite template sets?) Source directivity estimators may be affected by the presence of interferers Source directivity may change with frequency Array located in a directional null
