Development of a plasma electroacoustic actuator for active noise control applications

Ivo Furno, Hervé Lissek, Alan Howling, 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 ...

Sensorless Electroacoustic Absorbers Through Synthesized Impedance Control for Damping Low-Frequency Modes in Cavities

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

This paper presents a concept of sensorless electroacoustic absorber for damping the low-frequency modes in a cavity such as a duct or a room. Taking advantage of the reciprocity of the voice coil transducer, it is shown that a synthetic electrical admitta ...

System fusion and speaker linking for longitudinal diarization of TV shows

Hervé Bourlard, Petr Motlicek

Performing speaker diarization while uniquely identifying the speakers in a collection of audio recordings is a challenging task. Based on our previous work on speaker diarization and linking, we developed a system for diarizing longitudinal TV show data s ...

Analysis and Design of Mobile Device Antenna-Speaker Integration for Optimum Over-the-Air Performance

Juan Ramon Mosig, Nicolas Chavannes

In this paper, the mutual coupling between a mobile device antenna and a closely integrated miniature moving-coil speaker is investigated. The analysis focuses on the speaker radio-frequency harmonic resonance characteristics and the antenna radiation effi ...

Design of a built-in electroacoustic resonator for active noise reduction

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

The paper focuses on the design of a built-in electroacoustic device for active noise reduction purposes. The device basically encompasses a loudspeaker connected to a synthetic electrical impedance that enhances its ability to dissipate part of the incomi ...

Electroacoustic metamaterials: achieving negative acoustic properties with shunt loudspeakers

Hervé Lissek

Acoustic metamaterials constitute a new class of structures that exhibit acoustic properties not readily available in nature. These properties can be a negative mass density, expressing the opposition of the acceleration of a particle to the application of ...

Design of Shunt Electric Networks in View of Sound Absorption with Loudspeakers

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet

Variable acoustic properties can be obtained at the diaphragm of a loudspeaker, with the help of very basic control strategies, among which is the simple electrical shunting of the transducer. These shunt techniques have been demonstrated to present singul ...

Acoustic impedance synthesis at the diaphragm of moving coil loudspeakers using output feedback control

Hervé Lissek, Romain Boulandet

This paper discusses a time-domain technique for synthesizing acoustic impedance at the diaphragm of a loudspeaker using a proportional-plus-derivative output feedback. The dynamics of electroacoustic transducers such as moving-coil loudspeakers can be rea ...

Reproducing Sound Fields Using MIMO Acoustic Channel Inversion

Martin Vetterli, Mihailo Kolundzija, Christof Faller

Sound fields are essentially band-limited phenomena, both temporally and spatially. This implies that a spatially sampled sound field respecting the Nyquist criterion is effectively equivalent to its continuous original. We describe Sound Field Reconstruct ...

Short-Term Spatio-Temporal Clustering Applied to Multiple Moving Speakers

Jean-Marc Odobez, Guillaume Lathoud

Distant microphones permit to process spontaneous multi-party speech with very little constraints on speakers, as opposed to close-talking microphones. Minimizing the constraints on speakers permits a large diversity of applications, including meeting summ ...

Multimodal Speaker Localization in a Probabilistic Framework

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Mihai Gurban

A multimodal probabilistic framework is proposed for the problem of finding the active speaker in a video sequence. We localize the current speaker's mouth in the image by using the video and the audio channels together. We propose a novel visual feature t ...

Joint speech and speaker recognition

The goal of the thesis is to investigate different approaches that combine and integrate Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Speaker Recognition (SR) systems, with applications to (1) User-Customized Password Speaker Verification (UCP-SV) systems, and, ...
