Human gait is a widely used biometric trait for user identification and recognition. Given the wide-spreading, steady diffusion of ear-worn wearables (Earables) as the new frontier of wearable devices, we investigate the feasibility of…

Biometric identification is a reliable method to verify individuals based on their unique physical or behavioral traits, offering a secure alternative to traditional methods like passwords or PINs. This study focuses on ear biometric…

Hand-face interactions play a key role in many everyday tasks, providing insights into user habits, behaviors, intentions, and expressions. However, existing wearable sensing systems often struggle to track these interactions in daily…

Expression recognition holds great promise for applications such as content recommendation and mental healthcare by accurately detecting users' emotional states. Traditional methods often rely on cameras or wearable sensors, which raise…

In this paper, we introduce EyeEcho, a minimally-obtrusive acoustic sensing system designed to enable glasses to continuously monitor facial expressions. It utilizes two pairs of speakers and microphones mounted on glasses, to emit encoded…

We propose a novel method to use both audio and a low-resolution image to perform extreme face super-resolution (a 16x increase of the input size). When the resolution of the input image is very low (e.g., 8x8 pixels), the loss of…

This paper delves into the emerging field of face-based voice conversion, leveraging the unique relationship between an individual's facial features and their vocal characteristics. We present a novel face-based voice conversion framework…

Determining the head orientation of a talker is not only beneficial for various speech signal processing applications, such as source localization or speech enhancement, but also facilitates intuitive voice control and interaction with…

Biometric-based personal authentication systems have seen a strong demand mainly due to the increasing concern in various privacy and security applications. Although the use of each biometric trait is problem dependent, the human ear has…

Eavesdropping from the user's smartphone is a well-known threat to the user's safety and privacy. Existing studies show that loudspeaker reverberation can inject speech into motion sensor readings, leading to speech eavesdropping. While…

Earables (ear wearables) is rapidly emerging as a new platform encompassing a diverse range of personal applications. The traditional authentication methods hence become less applicable and inconvenient for earables due to their limited…

Facial expressions have been considered a metric reflecting a person's engagement with a task. While the evolution of expression detection methods is consequential, the foundation remains mostly on image processing techniques that suffer…

Ear acoustic authentication is a new biometrics method and it utilizes the differences in acoustic characteristics of the ear canal between users. However, there have been few reports on the factors that cause differences in the acoustic…

Real-time face orientation recognition is a cutting-edge technology meant to track and analyze facial movements in virtual environments such as online interviews, remote meetings, and virtual classrooms. As the demand for virtual…

Eye tracking technology is frequently utilized to diagnose eye and neurological disorders, assess sleep and fatigue, study human visual perception, and enable novel gaze-based interaction methods. However, traditional eye tracking…

Recent years have seen interest in device tracking and localization using acoustic signals. State-of-the-art acoustic motion tracking systems however do not achieve millimeter accuracy and require large separation between microphones and…

Body sounds provide rich information about the state of the human body and can be useful in many medical applications. Auscultation, the practice of listening to body sounds, has been used for centuries in respiratory and cardiac medicine…

In existing biometric authentication methods, the user must perform an authentication operation such as placing a finger in a scanner or facing a camera. With ear acoustic authentication, acoustic characteristics of the ear canal are used…

Individuals with impaired hearing experience difficulty in conversations, especially in noisy environments. This difficulty often manifests as a change in behavior and may be captured via facial expressions, such as the expression of…

This paper introduces mmWave-Whisper, a system that demonstrates the feasibility of full-corpus automated speech recognition (ASR) on phone calls eavesdropped remotely using off-the-shelf frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW)…
