Structured Sparsity Models for Reverberant Speech Separation

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammad Golbabaee

We tackle the multi-party speech recovery problem through modeling the acoustic of the reverberant chambers. Our approach exploits structured sparsity models to perform room modeling and speech recovery. We propose a scheme for characterizing the room acou ...

Base-Station Design for Passive UHF RFID Tags with Pulse-Width Modulated Backscattering

Catherine Dehollain, Kerem Kapucu

In this work, a base-station design is proposed for passive UHF RFID tags that use pulse-width modulation (PWM) in backscattering communication. The theoretical analysis of the PWM backscattering is presented along with the challenges it creates in the bas ...

Acoustic Echoes Reveal Room Shape

Martin Vetterli, Yue Lu, Ivan Dokmanic, Reza Parhizkar, Andreas Walther

Imagine that you are blindfolded inside an unknown room. You snap your fingers and listen to the room’s response. Can you hear the shape of the room? Some people can do it naturally, but can we design computer algorithms that hear rooms? We show how to com ...

Development of electroacoustic absorbers as soundproofing solutions for industrial ventilation systems

Hervé Lissek, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Victor Desarnaulds

In many industrial environments, room and cavity modes may severely strengthen the annoyance of low frequency noises, such as in ventilation equipments. Moreover, there is an obvious technological gap in the state-of-the-art relative to low-frequency sound ...

Modeling (non-)uniform scattering distributions in geometrical acoustics

Dirk Schröder

In most cases, a surface is not ideally smooth. It rather contains regular and irregular dents, bumps and other textures that influence the reflection of the incident wave. A reflection on such a corrugated surface causes a frequency-dependent redirection ...

Optimization of electric shunt resonant circuits for electroacoustic absorbers

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet

Sound absorption can be achieved in a relatively simple manner with passive or active electroacoustic absorbers. Electroacoustic absorbers are basically loudspeakers, the membrane of which is used as an absorber/reflector of sound, and the electric termina ...

Study on room modal equalization at low frequencies with electroacoustic absorbers

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet, Iris Rigas

Nowadays, requirements for acoustic treatments in rooms are ever more demanding in terms of performance and compactness. A recurring issue in closed spaces is the occurrence of standing waves and acoustic interferences at low frequencies. These unwanted ph ...

Practical active and semi-active strategies for the control of room acoustics in the low frequency range

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet, Anne-Sophie Moreau

Modal acoustics is one of the main sources of annoyance in the low frequency range in rooms. Active noise control techniques can be deployed to reach sufficient acoustic benefit, but limited to a single frequency, whereas broader efficiency would require c ...

Multiple harmonic sound sources separation in the under-determined case based on both goniometric and beamforming approaches

Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Patrick Marmaroli

Usually acoustic beamformer or directive microphones are used in order to focus on known potential locations emitting sounds so as to identify and extract their major noise components. However performances of these techniques depend on the number of microp ...
