(author)Wearable sensors offer new opportunities for the early detection and identification of toxic chemicals in situations where medical evaluation is not immediately possible.

van der Werf, I. (author), Dol, H. S. (author), Blom, K. (author), Heusdens, R. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)In this paper, we show the mathematical equivalence of two popular modulation schemes: OSDM and OTFS. The former is mainly used in underwater acoustic communications, while the latter scheme is a promising modulation technique in radio-frequency communications. Although literature suggests a link between the two modulation schemes by connecting...journal article 2023

Li, C. (author), Martinez, Jorge (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)Estimation of the acoustic-scene related parameters such as relative transfer functions (RTFs) from source to microphones, source power spectral densities (PSDs) and PSDs of the late reverberation is essential and also challenging. Existing maximum likelihood estimators typically consider only subsets of these parameters and use each time frame...journal article 2023

Li, C. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)Acoustic-scene-related parameters such as relative transfer functions (RTFs) and power spectral densities (PSDs) of the target source, late reverberation and ambient noise are essential for microphone array signal processing and are challenging to estimate. Existing methods typically only estimate a subset of the parameters by assuming the...journal article 2023

Li, C. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)Spatial filtering techniques typically rely on estimates of the target relative transfer function (RTF). However, the target speech signal is typically corrupted by late reverberation and ambient noise, which complicates RTF estimation. Existing methods subtract the noise covariance matrix to obtain the target plus late reverberation covariance...conference paper 2023

Li, C. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)Estimating the parameters that describe the acoustic scene is very important for many microphone array applications. For example, consider the power spectral densities (PSDs) or relative acoustic transfer functions (RTFs) that are required when estimating a particular sound source using multi-microphone noise reduction. State-of-the-art...conference paper 2023

Riemens, E.H.J. (author), Martinez-Nuevo, Pablo (author), Martinez, Jorge (author), Møller, Martin Bo (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)Loudspeakers are usually placed in an environment unknown to the loudspeaker designers. Having knowledge on the room acoustic properties, e.g., the location of acoustic reflectors, allows to better reproduce the sound field as intended. Current state-of-the-art methods for room boundary detection using microphone measurements typically focus on...conference paper 2022

Moghaddasi, Hanie (author), Hunyadi, Borbala (author), van der Veen, A.J. (author), de Groot, N.M.S. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most sustained arrhythmia in the heart. On the surface electrocardiogram (ECG), AF is characterised by the irregular RR intervals and by fibrillatory waves or the absence of a P wave. Since AF is a progressive disease, timely and correct detection is crucial for AF treatment. Detailed insight into the areas of...conference paper 2022

Moghaddasi, Hanie (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author), van der Veen, A.J. (author), de Groot, N.M.S. (author), Hunyadi, Borbala (author)Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most sustained arrhythmia in the heart and also the most common complication developed after cardiac surgery. Due to its progressive nature, timely detection of AF is important. Currently, physicians use a surface electrocardiogram (ECG) for AF diagnosis. However, when the patient develops AF, its various...journal article 2022

Van der Werf, I. (author), Martinez-Nuevo, Pablo (author), Møller, Martin Bo (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author), Martinez, Jorge (author)The sound field in a room can be represented by a weighted sum of room modes. To estimate the room modes, current literature uses on-the-grid, sparse reconstruction methods. However, these on-the-grid methods are known to suffer from basis mismatch. In this work, we investigate the use of a gridless framework for estimating room modes using...conference paper 2022

Li, C. (author), Martinez, Jorge (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)Many multi-microphone algorithms depend on knowing the relative acoustic transfer functions (RTFs) of the individual sound sources in the acoustic scene. However, accurate joint RTF estimation for multiple sources is a challenging problem. Existing methods to jointly estimate the RTF for multiple sources have either no satisfying performance, or...conference paper 2022
