Localizing Unsynchronized Sensors With Unknown Sources

Ivan Dokmanic, Dalia Salem Hassan Fahmy El Badawy

We propose a method for sensor array self-localization using a set of sources at unknown locations. The sources produce signals whose times of arrival are registered at the sensors. We look at the general case where neither the emission times of the source ...

Good Vibrations and Unknown Excitations

Dalia Salem Hassan Fahmy El Badawy

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 ...

Direction of Arrival with One Microphone, a few LEGOs, and Non-Negative Matrix Factorization

Ivan Dokmanic, Dalia Salem Hassan Fahmy El Badawy

Conventional approaches to sound source localization require at least two microphones. It is known, however, that people with unilateral hearing loss can also localize sounds. Monaural localization is possible thanks to the scattering by the head, though i ...

On-the-Fly Audio Source Separation-A Novel User-Friendly Framework

Dalia Salem Hassan Fahmy El Badawy

This paper addresses the challenging problem of single-channel audio source separation. We introduce a novel userguided framework where source models that govern the separation process are learned on-the-fly from audio examples retrieved online. The user o ...

Acoustic DoA Estimation by One Unsophisticated Sensor

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Dalia Salem Hassan Fahmy El Badawy

We show how introducing known scattering can be used in direction of arrival estimation by a single sensor. We first present an analysis of the geometry of the underlying measurement space and show how it enables localizing white sources. Then, we extend t ...

Near-optimal Sensor Placement for Signals lying in a Union of Subspaces

Martin Vetterli, Juri Ranieri, Dalia Salem Hassan Fahmy El Badawy

Sensor networks are commonly deployed to measure data from the environment and accurately estimate certain parameters. However, the number of deployed sensors is often limited by several constraints, such as their cost. Therefore, their locations must be o ...
