Normal-hearing listeners adapt to alterations in sound localization cues. This adaptation can result from the establishment of a new spatial map of the altered cues or from a stronger relative weighting of unaltered compared to altered…
The human auditory system has the ability to selectively focus on key speech elements in an audio stream while giving secondary attention to less relevant areas such as noise or distortion within the background, dynamically adjusting its…
Noise is a significant challenge in imaging. Conventional intensity-based techniques mitigate noise through various filtering methods, but they often require prior knowledge of noise characteristics and struggle, especially under low-light…
Binaural beamforming algorithms for head-mounted assistive listening devices are crucial to improve speech quality and speech intelligibility in noisy environments, while maintaining the spatial impression of the acoustic scene. While the…
In this paper we propose a new binaural beamforming technique which can be seen as a relaxation of the linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) framework. The proposed method can achieve simultaneous noise reduction and exact binaural…
Target speech separation refers to extracting the target speaker's speech from mixed signals. Despite the recent advances in deep learning based close-talk speech separation, the applications to real-world are still an open issue. Two main…
To estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) of multiple speakers with methods that use prototype transfer functions, frequency-dependent spatial spectra (SPS) are usually constructed. To make the DOA estimation robust, SPS from different…
This paper presents the contribution to the third 'CHiME' speech separation and recognition challenge including both front-end signal processing and back-end speech recognition. In the front-end, Multi-channel Wiener filter (MWF) is…
The processing of low-frequency interaural time differences is found to be problematic among hearing-impaired people. The current generation of beamformers does not consider this deficiency. In an attempt to tackle this issue, we propose to…
Infrared small target detection (ISTD) is highly sensitive to sensor type, observation conditions, and the intrinsic properties of the target. These factors can introduce substantial variations in the distribution of acquired infrared image…
This paper introduces Binaural Sound Event Localization and Detection (BiSELD), a task that aims to jointly detect and localize multiple sound events using binaural audio, inspired by the spatial hearing mechanism of humans. To support this…
Studies have shown that in noisy acoustic environments, providing binaural signals to the user of an assistive listening device may improve speech intelligibility and spatial awareness. This paper presents a binaural speech enhancement…
This paper addresses the problem of speech separation and enhancement from multichannel convolutive and noisy mixtures, \emph{assuming known mixing filters}. We propose to perform the speech separation and enhancement task in the short-time…
The objective was to determine the effect of pulse rate on the sensitivity to use interaural-time-difference (ITD) cues and to explore the mechanisms behind rate-dependent degradation in ITD perception in bilateral cochlear implant (CI)…
The aim of this study is to implement a method to remove ambient noise in biomedical sounds captured in auscultation. We propose an incremental approach based on multichannel non-negative matrix partial co-factorization (NMPCF) for ambient…
Video editing and generation methods often rely on pre-trained image-based diffusion models. During the diffusion process, however, the reliance on rudimentary noise sampling techniques that do not preserve correlations present in…
Suppressing the inter-carrier interference (ICI) is crucial for differentially coherent detection in underwater acoustic (UWA) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems due to the fact that the UWA channel is inherently…
Speech separation approaches for single-channel, dry speech mixtures have significantly improved. However, real-world spatial and reverberant acoustic environments remain challenging, limiting the effectiveness of these approaches for…
Differences between the interaural phase of a noise and a target tone improve detection thresholds. The maximum masking release is obtained for detecting an antiphasic tone (S$\pi$) in diotic noise (N0). It has been shown in several studies…
This work studies the parallelization and empirical convergence of two finite difference acoustic wave propagation methods on 2-D rectangular grids, that use the same alternating direction implicit (ADI) time integration. This ADI…
