Monahan, Jessica (author), van Everdingen, Noor (author)In Nederland en in de stad Delft wordt geluidhinder door autowegen ervaren door bewoners. Dit kan leiden tot een verminderde gezondheid. Het doel van dit onderzoek is uitvinden waar de geluidsnorm wordt overschreden en hoe dit verminderd zou kunnen worden. Hiervoor is de volgende onderzoeksvraag opgesteld: Waar in Delft wordt de geluidsnorm voor...student report 2022

Smirnova, Alisa (author), Yang, J. (author), Yang, Dingqi (author), Cudre-Mauroux, Philippe (author)Noisy labels represent one of the key issues in supervised machine learning. Existing work for label noise reduction mainly takes a probabilistic approach that infers true labels from data distributions in low-level feature spaces. Such an approach is not only limited by its capability to learn high-quality data representations, but also by...journal article 2022

Brackenhoff, Stefanie (author)We propose the Stationary spectrum Plus Low-rank Iterative TransmiTtance EstimatoR (SPLITTER) for removing wideband atmospheric noise from observations of high-redshift galaxies. This algorithm has specifically been developed for the DEep Spectroscopic HIgh-redshift MApper (DESHIMA) 2.0, a spectrometer that is designed to observe the waveband...master thesis 2021

Zhang, D. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)A recently published simulation-based study has demonstrated the effect of an individually controlled noise-reducing device (ICND) on improving acoustic quality in classrooms. As a follow-up research, this current study aims to develop a real ICND and test it with its target users-- primary school children. The prototype developed in this study...journal article 2021

Luesutthiviboon, S. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Snellen, M. (author)This study focuses upon a new permeable topology design concept as an alternative to porous metal foams, for turbulent boundary layer trailing-edge (TBL-TE) noise attenuation. The present permeable topology has unconventional characteristics with respect to the metal foams: a combination of low flow resistivity r and high form drag...journal article 2021

Teruna, C. (author), Rego, Leandro (author), Avallone, F. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Casalino, D. (author)Porous materials have been widely investigated as a mean for noise reduction. Numerical simulations can be used to investigate the physical mechanisms responsible for noise reduction; however, a correct modeling of the porous medium through an equivalent fluid model is essential to minimize the computational costs. This paper reports a...journal article 2021

Tsionis, Ioannis (author)This research focuses on aircraft noise exposed urban spaces around Amsterdam Schiphol airport. In particular, a case site in Rijsenhout is studied, where a representation of the noise wave propagation due to refraction is performed. Subsequently, a series of landscape configurations regarding geometry are gradually tested through acoustic...master thesis 2020

Sathyapriyan, V. (author)For people with hearing impairment, it is important to have good speech intelligibility, while also being able to localise the sound sources. Many beam-forming algorithms for hearing aids have been proposed, that minimise the noise, in combination with spatial scene preservation of the target and the interferers. By constraining the spatial cues...master thesis 2020

Zhang, J. (author)In speech processing applications, e.g., speech recognition, hearing aids (HAs), video conferencing, and human-computer interaction, speech enhancement or noise reduction is an essential front-end task, as the recorded speech signals are inevitably corrupted by interference, including coherent/incoherent noise and reverberation. Traditional...doctoral thesis 2020

Amini, J. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author), Heusdens, R. (author), Guo, Meng (author), Jensen, Jesper (author)Wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs) can be used for centralized multi-microphone noise reduction, where the processing is done in a fusion center (FC). To perform the noise reduction, the data needs to be transmitted to the FC. Considering the limited battery life of the devices in a WASN, the total data rate at which the FC can...journal article 2020

Zhang, Jie (author), Chen, Huawei (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)Multi-microphone speech enhancement methods typically require a reference position with respect to which the target signal is estimated. Often, this reference position is arbitrarily chosen as one of the reference microphones. However, it has been shown that the choice of the reference microphone can have a significant impact on the final...journal article 2020

Amini, J. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author), Heusdens, R. (author), Guo, Meng (author), Jensen, Jesper (author)Compared to monaural hearing aids (HAs), binaural hearing aid systems, in which there is a communication link between the two devices, have improved noise reduction capabilities and the ability to preserve binaural spatial information. However, the limited HA battery lifetime puts constraints on the amount of information that can be shared...journal article 2020

van Zon, Manon (author)MRI images are very useful for detecting diseases, as well as for the treatment of diseases. However, MRI scanners are usually too expensive for developing countries to purchase and maintain. Therefore, a less expensive scanner is being developed at Delft University of Technology and Leiden University Medical Center. Unfortunately, the images...bachelor thesis 2019

Timmer, Thijs (author), van Wingerden, Quinten (author)This Bachelor graduation project has the goal to create a device which is able of automatic volume control, to be used for enhancing speech intelligibility. To tackle the intelligibility of speech through Public Address Systems (PA Systems), an Intelligibility-Enhancing Automatic Volume Control system was proposed. The total system to be made...bachelor thesis 2019

It minimizes the output noise power, under the constraints, which guarantee that the target remains unchanged after processing and the...journal article 2019

Kokke, Costas (author)Spatial cues allow a listener to determine the direction sound is coming from. In addition, recognising spatially separated sound sources facilitate the listener to focus on specific sound sources. Because of this, preservation of spatial cues in multi-microphone hearing assistive devices is important to the listening experience and safety of...master thesis 2018
