Good Vibrations and Unknown Excitations

Inspired by the human ability to localize sounds, even with only one ear, as well as to recognize objects using active echolocation, we investigate the role of sound scattering and prior knowledge in regularizing ill-posed inverse problems in acoustics. In ...

Shapes From Echoes: Uniqueness From Point-to-Plane Distance Matrices

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Miranda Krekovic

We study the problem of localizing a configuration of points and planes from the collection of point-to-plane distances. This problem models simultaneous localization and mapping from acoustic echoes as well as the & x201C;structure from sound & x201D; app ...

Pyramic: Full Stack Open Microphone Array Architecture And Dataset

René Beuchat, Robin Scheibler, Corentin Ferry

In this paper we introduce an open source and reproducible microphone array hardware design and an anechoic dataset recorded with this array. The Pyramic array has 48 microphones spread onto six identical modules connected to an FPGA-ARM combo. The arrange ...

Subjective evaluation of a spatialization feature for hearing aids by normal-hearing and hearing-impaired subjects

Hervé Lissek, Xavier Gigandet, Gilles André Courtois

Remote microphone systems significantly improve speech intelligibly performance offered by hearing aids. The voice of the speaker(s) is captured close to the mouth by a microphone, then wirelessly sent to the hearing aids. However, the sound is rendered in ...

Localization of Sound Sources in a Room with One Microphone

Pierre Vandergheynst, Hervé Lissek, Helena Peic Tukuljac

Estimation of the location of sound sources is usually done using microphone arrays. Such settings provide an environment where we know the difference between the received signals among different microphones in the terms of phase or attenuation, which enab ...

A 4.7μW switched-bias MEMS microphone preamplifier for ultra-low-power voice interfaces

Kyojin Choo

This paper presents a switched-bias MEMS microphone preamplifier for an ultra-low-power voice interface. A switched-MOSFET periodically changes the MOSFET between strong inversion and accumulation to inherently reduce 1/f noise. In addition, a proposed cou ...

Computational Methods for Underdetermined Convolutive Speech Localization and Separation via Model-based Sparse Component Analysis

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

In this paper, the problem of speech source localization and separation from recordings of convolutive underdetermined mixtures is studied. The problem is cast as recovering the spatio-spectral speech information embedded in a microphone array compressed m ...

Binary Sparse Coding of Convolutive Mixtures for Sound Localization and Separation via Spatialization

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh, Saeid Haghighatshoar

We propose a sparse coding approach to address the problem of source-sensor localization and speech reconstruction. This approach relies on designing a dictionary of spatialized signals by projecting the microphone array recordings into the array manifolds ...

Algorithms for reconstructing geometries from echoes

Fan Zhang

We have recently witnessed the appearance of algorithms that can reconstruct a room’s geometry from echoes, as well as algorithms that use echoes to localize many microphones. This project will consist in implementing a framework for microphone localizatio ...
