Ultrasonic Doppler sensor for speaker recognition
In this paper we present a novel use of an acoustic Doppler sonar for multi-modal speaker identification. An ultrasonic emitter directs a 40kHz tone toward the speaker. Reflecti...

Fast noise tracking based on recursive smoothing of MMSE noise power estimates
We consider estimation of the noise spectral variance from speech signals contaminated by highly nonstationary noise sources. In each time frame, for each frequency bin, the noise...

Iterative extrapolation algorithm for data reconstruction over sphere
Given limited or incomplete measurement data on a sphere, a new iterative algorithm is proposed on how to extrapolate signal over the whole sphere. The algorithm is based on a pri...

Environment-invariant compensation for reverberation using linear post-filtering for minimum distortion
Speaker identification systems work quite well in controlled environments but their performance degrades severely in the presence of the reverberation that is frequently encounte...

Bandlimited signal reconstruction from noisy periodic nonuniform samples in time-interleaved ADCS
In this paper, we propose a time-domain method for uniform signal reconstruction from periodic nonuniform samples of a bandlimited signal when timing-skews are known. The algorith...

Low-rank covariance matrix tapering for robust adaptive beamforming
Covariance matrix tapering (CMT) is a popular approach to improve the robustness of adaptive beamformers against moving or wideband interferers. In this paper, we develop a comput...
