Multi-channel multi-talker automatic speech recognition (ASR) presents ongoing challenges within the speech community, particularly when confronted with significant reverberation effects. In this study, we introduce a novel approach involving the convolution of overlapping speech signals with the room impulse response (RIR) corresponding to the target speaker's transmission to a microphone array. This innovative technique yields a novel spatial feature known as the RIR-SF. Through a comprehensive comparison with the previously established state-of-the-art 3D spatial feature, both theoretical analysis and experimental results substantiate the superiority of our proposed RIR-SF. We demonstrate that the RIR-SF outperforms existing methods, leading to a remarkable 21.3% relative reduction in the Character Error Rate (CER) in multi-channel multi-talker ASR systems. Importantly, this novel feature exhibits robustness in the face of strong reverberation, surpassing the limitations of previous approaches.
