Detailed experiments on weakly deformed cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Nicolas Dorsaz, Danail Obreschkow, Philipp Kobel, Outi Supponen

We present high-precision experiments conducted with the aim to better characterise weak deformations of single cavitation bubbles. Using two needle hydrophones and a high-speed photodetector, we record the timings of shock waves and luminescence emitted a ...

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 ...

Enabling Speech Applications using Ad Hoc Microphone Arrays

Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

Microphone arrays are central players in hands-free speech interface applications. The main duty of a microphone array is capturing distant-talking speech with high quality. A microphone array can acquire the desired speech signals selectively by leading t ...

Listening to Distances and Hearing Shapes : Inverse Problems in Room Acoustics and Beyond

Ivan Dokmanic

A central theme of this thesis is using echoes to achieve useful, interesting, and sometimes surprising results. One should have no doubts about the echoes' constructive potential; it is, after all, demonstrated masterfully by Nature. Just think about the ...

Raking the Cocktail Party

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Robin Scheibler

We present the concept of an acoustic rake receiver—a microphone beamformer that uses echoes to improve the noise and interference suppression. The rake idea is well-known in wireless communications; it involves constructively combining different multipath ...

Hardware and Algorithms for Ultrasonic Depth Imaging

Ivan Dokmanic

Depth imaging is commonly based on light. For example, LIDAR and Kinect use infrared light, while stereo cameras use visible light. These systems require hardware operating at high sampling frequencies, precise calibration, and they dissipate significant p ...

How to Localize Ten Microphones in One Fingersnap

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic

A compelling method to calibrate the positions of microphones in an array is with sources at unknown locations. Remarkably, it is possible to reconstruct the locations of both the sources and the receivers, if their number is larger than some prescribed mi ...

Spatial echogram analysis of a small auditorium with observations on the dispersion of early reflections

Hervé Lissek, Xavier Falourd, Lukas Rohr

Classical room acoustics are based on the interpretation of different sound attributes such as reverberation time, clarity and spatial decay. Based on echograms calculated from a microphone array, the dispersion of early reflections is measured and the ref ...

Baffled Circular Loudspeaker Array With Broadband High Directivity

Martin Vetterli, Mihailo Kolundzija, Christof Faller

Super-directional loudspeaker arrays can be used to achieve high directivity in a limited low-frequency range. As opposed to microphone arrays, the distance between the loudspeakers has to be relatively large, resulting in aliasing starting at relatively l ...

Spatio-temporal analysis of spontaneous speech with microphone arrays

Guillaume Lathoud

Accurate detection, localization and tracking of multiple moving speakers permits a wide spectrum of applications. Techniques are required that are versatile, robust to environmental variations, and not constraining for non-technical end-users. Based on di ...

Audio-visual probabilistic tracking of multiple speakers in meetings

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Jean-Marc Odobez, Guillaume Lathoud

Tracking speakers in multiparty conversations constitutes a fundamental task for automatic meeting analysis. In this paper, we present a probabilistic approach to jointly track the location and speaking activity of multiple speakers in a multisensor meetin ...
