Blind as a Bat: Audible Echolocation on Small Robots

Martin Vetterli, Mihailo Kolundzija, Adrien Guillaume Olivier Hoffet, Adam James Scholefield, Frederike Dümbgen

For safe and efficient operation, mobile robots need to perceive their environment, and in particular, perform tasks such as obstacle detection, localization, and mapping. Although robots are often equipped with microphones and speakers, the audio modality ...

Sound Field Reconstruction in a room through Sparse Recovery and its application in Room Modal Equalization

Vu Thach Pham

The acoustics of a room often refer to the quality of the room in terms of sound recording as well as sound reproduction. At low frequencies, where the wavelengths are of the same order of magnitude with the dimensions of the room, due to the standing wav ...

Low frequency sound field reconstruction in a non-rectangular room using a small number of microphones

Hervé Lissek, Vu Thach Pham

An accurate knowledge of the sound field distribution inside a room is required to identify and optimally locate corrective measures for room acoustics. However, the spatial recovery of the sound field would result in an impractically high number of microp ...

Development of a plasma electroacoustic actuator for active noise control applications

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Hervé Lissek, Pénélope Leyland, Stanislav Sergeev, Gennady Plyushchev

Conventional loudspeakers generate sound through the vibration of a diaphragm, attached to a rigid frame through elastic suspensions. Although such construction is satisfactory for sound diffusion in steady environments, it is likely to fail in harsh condi ...

Joint Human Pose Estimation and Stereo 3D Localization

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Sven Kreiss, Lorenzo Bertoni, Wenlong Deng

We present an end-to-end trainable Neural Network architecture for stereo imaging that jointly locates and estimates human body poses in 3D. Our method defines a 2D pose for each human in a stereo pair of images and uses a correlation layer with a composit ...

An AC-Coupled Wideband Neural Recording Front-End With Sub-1 mm2×fJ/conv-step Efficiency and 0.97 NEF

Volkan Cevher, Arda Uran, Yusuf Leblebici

This letter presents an energy-and-area-efficient ac-coupled front-end for the multichannel recording of wideband neural signals. The proposed unit conditions local held and action potentials using an inverter-based capacitively coupled low-noise amplifier ...

Sound field reconstruction in a room using low-rank approximation of mode shapes: validation and application

Hervé Lissek

Sound field reconstruction in rooms is a subject of high interest in the domain of acoustic research.At low frequencies, a thorough understanding of sound field distribution is the key to identifying im-balance and irregularities caused by the room which w ...

Modeling extended-reaction boundary conditions in time-domain wave-based simulations of room acoustics

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

This paper presents a general method for modeling extended-reaction surface impedance boundary conditions in time-domain wave-based room acoustic simulations. A sound field separation technique is used to separate the sound field at a boundary into its inc ...

Low Frequency Sound Field Reconstruction in Non-rectangular Room: A Numerical Validation

Hervé Lissek, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Vu Thach Pham

Characterization of sound fields in rooms has always been a challenging task. A faithful reconstruction of sound fields in rooms generally would require an impractically high number of microphones. At low frequencies, where sound field can be modeled as a ...

Advanced B-Format Analysis

Mihailo Kolundzija, Christof Faller

Spatial sound rendering methods that use B-format have moved from static to signal-dependent, making B-format signal analysis a crucial part of B-format decoders. In the established B-format signal analysis methods, the acquired sound field is commonly mod ...
