Robust Array Calibration Using Time Delays with Application to Ultrasound Tomography

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ivana Jovanovic

Accurate calibration is a requirement of many array signal processing techniques. We investigate the calibration of a transducer array using time delays. We derive a strategy based on the mean square error criterion and discuss how time delays that are not ...

Distributed audio coding for wireless hearing aids

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy

The aim of the invention is to provide inter-channel level differences ICLD related to audio signals for hearing aids. This aim is achieved by a method for computing ICLD from a first and second audio source signals, the first source signal being wired wit ...

Robust Ultrasound Travel-time Tomography Using the Bent Ray Model

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ali Hormati, Ivana Jovanovic

We present a bent ray reconstruction algorithm for an ultrasound tomography (UT) scanner designed for breast screening. The scanner consists of a circular array of transmitters and receivers which encloses the object to be imaged. By solving a nonlinear sy ...

Sound Speed Estimation Using Wave-based Ultrasound Tomography: Theory and GPU Implementation

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ali Hormati, Ivana Jovanovic, Reza Parhizkar

We present preliminary results obtained using a time domain wave-based reconstruction algorithm for an ultrasound transmission tomography scanner with a circular geometry. While a comprehensive description of this type of algorithm has already been given e ...

Distributed Sensing of Signals Linked by Sparse Filtering

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ali Hormati, Yue Lu

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods for distributed sensing and centralized reconstruction of two correlated signals, modeled as the input and output of an unknown sparse filtering operation. ...

Distributed Sampling of Signals Linked by Sparse Filtering: Theory and Applications

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ali Hormati, Yue Lu

We study the distributed sampling and centralized reconstruction of two correlated signals, modeled as the input and output of an unknown sparse filtering operation. This is akin to a Slepian-Wolf setup, but in the sampling rather than the lossless compres ...

Distributed Sensing of Signals Linked by Sparse Filtering

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ali Hormati, Yue Lu

We consider the task of recovering correlated vectors at a central decoder based on fixed linear measurements obtained by distributed sensors. A general formulation of the problem is proposed, under both a universal and an almost sure reconstruction requir ...

Distributed Sensing of Signals under a Sparse Filtering Model

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Ali Hormati, Yue Lu

We consider the task of recovering correlated vectors at a central decoder based on fixed linear measurements obtained by distributed sensors. Two different scenarios are considered: In the case of universal reconstruction, we look for a sensing and recove ...

Rate-Constrained Collaborative Noise Reduction for Wireless Hearing Aids

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy

Hearing aids are electronic, battery-operated sensing devices which aim at compensating various kinds of hearing impairments. Recent advances in low-power electronics coupled with progresses made in digital signal processing offer the potential for substan ...

Dimensionality Reduction for Distributed Estimation in the Infinite Dimensional Regime

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy

Distributed estimation of an unknown signal is a common task in sensor networks. The scenario usually envisioned consists of several nodes, each making an observation correlated with the signal of interest. The acquired data is then wirelessly transmitted ...
