The frequency of a wave is a crucial parameter to understanding its propagation to a structured medium. While metamaterials can be designed to focus or steer deformations or waves toward a specific location, wave steering toward multiple…
The use of drones in a wide range of applications is steadily increasing. However, this has also raised critical security concerns such as unauthorized drone intrusions into restricted zones. Therefore, robust and accurate drone detection…
Object detection is the task of detecting objects in an image. In this task, the detection of small objects is particularly difficult. Other than the small size, it is also accompanied by difficulties due to blur, occlusion, and so on.…
Sound recordings are used in various ecological studies, including acoustic wildlife monitoring. Such surveys require automatic detection of target sound events. However, current detectors, especially those relying on band-limited energy,…
We propose to use neural networks for simultaneous detection and localization of multiple sound sources in human-robot interaction. In contrast to conventional signal processing techniques, neural network-based sound source localization…
What is behind the \emph{wisdom of the crowds} described by Simons (2004)? It has been showed that insects may use gravitational fields to travel (Dreyer et al 2018) and we may ask whether the use of gravitational fields is enough to secure…
Structuring materials is one mechanism to influence the thermal conductivity and thus thermoelectric efficiency. In order to investigate the scattering of phonons in multilayer structures we developed a beam matching technique, which is…
The house hunting behavior of the Temnothorax albipennis ant allows the colony to explore several nest choices and agree on the best one. Their behavior serves as the basis for many bio-inspired swarm models to solve the same problem.…
Autonomous recording units and passive acoustic monitoring present minimally intrusive methods of collecting bioacoustics data. Combining this data with species agnostic bird activity detection systems enables the monitoring of activity…
A whole range of attacks becomes possible when adversaries gain physical access to computing systems that process or contain sensitive data. Examples include side-channel analysis, bus probing, device cloning, or implanting hardware…
The physical properties of a periodic distribution of absorbent resonators is used in this work to design a tunable wideband bandstop acoustic filter. Analytical and numerical simulations as well as experimental validations show that the…
The deployment of machine listening algorithms in real-life applications is often impeded by a domain shift caused for instance by different microphone characteristics. In this paper, we propose a novel domain adaptation strategy based on…
This paper addresses the problem of sound-source localization from time-delay estimates using arbitrarily-shaped non-coplanar microphone arrays. A novel geometric formulation is proposed, together with a thorough algebraic analysis and a…
We consider the problem of localizing a target taking the help of a set of anchor beacon nodes.A small number of beacon nodes are deployed at known locations in the area.The target can detect a beacon provided it happens to lie within the…
Artificial life simulations are an important tool in the study of ecological phenomena that can be difficult to examine directly in natural environments. Recent work has established the soundscape as an ecologically important resource and…
Navigating in environments where the GPS signal is unavailable, weak, purposefully blocked, or spoofed has become crucial for a wide range of applications. A prime example is autonomous navigation for drones in indoor environments: to fly…
Insects identify and evaluate behaviorally relevant odorants in complex natural scenes where odor concentrations and mixture composition can change rapidly. In the honeybee, a combinatorial code of activated and inactivated projection…
Beamforming is a signal processing technique. It has been studied in many areas such as radar, sonar, seismology and wireless communications, to name but a few. It can be used for a myriad of purposes, such as detecting the presence of a…
Antennas are taking design shapes by the orientation of its material and the final structural design they take. Irrespective of the shape, the function and efficiency they produce does not change and vary to much extent. We are trying to…
In underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWASN), energy-reliable data transmission is a challenging task. This is due to acoustic transmission disturbances caused by excessive noise, exceptionally long propagation delays, a high bit error…
