The images and sounds that we perceive undergo subtle but geometrically consistent changes as we rotate our heads. In this paper, we use these cues to solve a problem we call Sound Localization from Motion (SLfM): jointly estimating camera…
Adaptive filtering algorithms are commonplace in signal processing and have wide-ranging applications from single-channel denoising to multi-channel acoustic echo cancellation and adaptive beamforming. Such algorithms typically operate via…
Changes in room acoustics, such as modifications to surface absorption or the insertion of a scattering object, significantly impact measured room impulse responses (RIRs). These changes can affect the performance of systems used in echo…
