This paper presents a novel approach for those applications where vocabulary is defined by a set of acoustic samples. In this approach, the acoustic samples are used as reference...
We present a system that detects human falls in the home environment, distinguishing them from competing noise, by using only the audio signal from a single far-field microphone....
In this paper we present a fast method for computing acoustic likelihoods that makes use of a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). After enabling the GPU acceleration the main processo...
This paper addresses the problem of image retrieval from an encrypted database, where data confidentiality is preserved both in the storage and retrieval process. The paper focus...

A multisource cooperative protocol is developed capable of achieving diversity order up to the number of cooperating users at a high throughput. In this design each source jointly...
Local features are widely used for content-based image retrieval and object recognition. We present an efficient method for encoding digital images suitable for local feature extr...

This paper is devoted to the subspace DoA estimation using a large antennas array when the number of available snapshots is of the same order of magnitude than the number of senso...
One of the major challenges to cognitive radios is the synchronization of distributed radios onto the same spectrum white spaces which vary in time and space. In this paper, we pr...
