While our world is filled with its own natural sounds that we can't resist enjoying, it is also chock-full of other sounds that can be irritating, this is noise. Noise not only influences the working efficiency but also the human's health.…
In Extended Reality (XR), rendering sound that accurately simulates real-world acoustics is pivotal in creating lifelike and believable virtual experiences. However, existing XR spatial audio rendering methods often struggle with real-time…
This paper presents SONIC, an embedded real-time noise suppression system implemented on the ARM Cortex-M7-based STM32H753ZI microcontroller. Using adaptive filtering (LMS), the system improves speech intelligibility in noisy environments.…
Imagine being able to listen to the birds chirping in a park without hearing the chatter from other hikers, or being able to block out traffic noise on a busy street while still being able to hear emergency sirens and car honks. We…
Spatially selective active noise control (SSANC) hearables aim to attenuate noise from certain directions at the eardrum while preserving desired speech arriving from selected directions. Existing SSANC systems typically assume an accurate…
Auditory scene analysis (ASA) aims to retrieve information from the acoustic environment, by carrying out three main tasks: sound source location, separation, and classification. These tasks are traditionally executed with a linear data…
This paper presents an active noise control experiment designed to validate a real-time control strategy for reduction of the noise scattered from a three-dimensional body. The control algorithm relies on estimating the scattered noise by…
This paper looks at the problem of using sonification to enable network administrators to maintaining situational awareness about their network environment. Network environments generate a lot of data and the need for continuous monitoring…
Navigation in varied and dynamic indoor environments remains a complex task for autonomous mobile platforms. Especially when conditions worsen, typical sensor modalities may fail to operate optimally and subsequently provide inapt input for…
When operating a machine, the operator needs to know some spatial relations, like the relative location of the target or the nearest obstacle. Often, sensors are used to derive this spatial information, and visual displays are deployed as…

Network alignment has attracted widespread attention in various fields. However, most existing works mainly focus on the problem of label sparsity, while overlooking the issue of noise in network alignment, which can substantially undermine…
Simulating sonar devices requires modeling complex underwater acoustics, simultaneously rendering time-efficient data. Existing methods focus on basic implementation of one sonar type, where most of sound properties are disregarded. In this…
Hearables are becoming ubiquitous, yet their sound controls remain blunt: users can either enable global noise suppression or focus on a single target sound. Real-world acoustic scenes, however, contain many simultaneous sources that users…
This paper describes the development of a system that enables real time data visualization via a webapp regarding sound intensity using multiple node devices connected through internet. The prototypes were realized using ATmega328 (Arduino…
Non-native speakers (NNSs) frequently encounter speaking difficulties in multilingual communication, where existing approaches have shown promise in facilitating NNSs' comprehension and participation in real-time communication. However,…
We introduce the active audio-visual source separation problem, where an agent must move intelligently in order to better isolate the sounds coming from an object of interest in its environment. The agent hears multiple audio sources…
The world of audio production and design has long been a difficult one to break into, requiring expertise and a working knowledge of the standard digital audio paradigms. This paper describes a novel interface that makes audio production…
Soundscape augmentation is an emerging approach for noise mitigation by introducing additional sounds known as "maskers" to increase acoustic comfort. Traditionally, the choice of maskers is often predicated on expert guidance or post-hoc…
Sonar radar captures visual representations of underwater objects and structures using sound wave reflections, making it essential for exploration, mapping, and continuous surveillance in wild ecosystems. Real-time analysis of sonar data is…
