To solve the problem of sound field reconstruction with fewer measurement points, a sound field reconstruction method based on Bayesian compressive sensing is proposed. In this method, a sound field reconstruction model based on a combination of the equivalent source method and sparse Bayesian compressive sensing is established. The MacKay iteration of the relevant vector machine is used to infer the hyperparameters and estimate the maximum a posteriori probability of both the sound source strength and noise variance. The optimal solution for sparse coefficients with an equivalent sound source is determined to achieve the sparse reconstruction of the sound field. The numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method has higher accuracy over the entire frequency range compared to the equivalent source method, indicating a better reconstruction performance and wider frequency applicability with undersampling. Moreover, in environments with low signal-to-noise ratios, the proposed method exhibits significantly lower reconstruction errors than the equivalent source method, indicating a superior anti-noise performance and greater robustness in sound field reconstruction. The experimental results further verify the superiority and reliability of the proposed method for sound field reconstruction with limited measurement points.
