Statistical Analysis of Sparse and Piecewise-linear Regression
Contact: Julien Fageot Levels: Master semester project, or Master thesis Sections: IC, EE, SMA Recent works have investigated the possibility of recovering continuous-domain signals from their discrete observations using sparsity-promoting variational methods. The resulting interpolation problem is then cast as a functional sparse inverse problem. In this project, we focus on piecewise-linear continuous-domain reconstruction, which is achieved by (…)
Analyze sparse and smooth signal components with optimization problems
Contact: Adrian Jarret (LCAV) Synopsis: Solving Inverse problem for Sparse-plus-Smooth composite signals Levels: Bachelor, Master Sections: IC Description: When performing experiences, researchers are rarely able to directly measure the data of interest, but rather side effects of the phenomenon, referred to as indirect measurements. The stereotypical examples are tomography (MRI imaging) that uses magnetic fields (…)

Audio-based algorithms for the e-puck robot
Contact: Dümbgen, Frederike Synopsis: Audio-based source tracking and obstacle avoidance on the e-puck robot Level: BS/MS semester project Description: When compared to visual and inertial measurements, sound is highly underrepresented among the modalities commonly used for navigation, localization and mapping in robotics. This is surprising as animals such as bats and whales have evolved to (…)
Droning drones
Contact: Dümbgen, Frederike Synopsis: Exploration and exploitation of drone noise Level: MS semester project Description: The more drones become omnipresent in everyday life, the more the unavoidable propeller noise is becoming an issue. Indeed, drone noise has been shown to be more unpleasant than car noise to many people [1], and thus recent research has (…)
