Multichannel DoA Estimation
Advisor: Dalia El Badawy Description: Recent work has shown that it is possible to estimate the direction of arrival (DoA) of a sound using just one microphone, albeit a special one surrounded by LEGO bricks [1]. The idea is that the LEGO scatters the incident sound providing a special directional signature that we can use to estimate (…)
Circuit design for bio-inspired sampling
Contact: Adam, Karen Synopsis: Biologically inspired A/D conversion Level: BS/MS Description: Sampling is a key step in converting any analogue signal to the digital world. Usually, it is done by recording the signal’s amplitude at certain predefined time points. In nature, sampling is done differently. A neuron integrates its input until a threshold is reached (…)
Bring voice user interfaces to our offices
Contact: Dümbgen, Frederike ; Hoffet, Adrien Synopsis: Implement a new way of interacting with your computer via voice control instead of the mouse and keyboard. Level:BS, MS Description: Google Home and Amazon Alexa are quickly revolutionizing how we interact with smart devices. Both use “wake words” (“OK Google” and “Alexa” respectively) to detect the user’s (…)
