Li, L. (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

Ramamohan, Krishnaprasad Nambur (author), Chepuri, Sundeep Prabhakar (author), Comesana, Daniel Fernandez (author), Leus, G.J.T. (author)In this work, we consider the self-calibration problem of joint calibration and direction-of-Arrival (DOA) estimation using acoustic sensor arrays. Unlike many previous iterative approaches, we propose solvers that can be readily used for both linear and non-linear arrays for jointly estimating the sensor gain, phase errors, and the source...journal article 2023

den Hoedt, Dirk (author)When a patient is in a hospital, it is very important to monitor their vital signs. Doctors and nurses use this information to assess the condition of the patient. Most of the existing vital signs measurement devices need physical contact with the patient. This thesis focuses on a non-contact vital signs estimation method. Using a mmWave radar,...master thesis 2022

Zhai, Peiyuan (author)This work is focused on the distributed system, i.e. Multi-agent Systems (MAS), with application in environmental monitoring and learning. The specific task is to develop algorithms, i.e. Gaussian Process (GP), that are robust, accurate and fully-distributed to learn the unknown spatial environmental field. The two main problems are (1). how to...master thesis 2022

Speekenbrink, Sebastian (author), Khalili, Keyvan (author)The goal of the WiECG project is to create a prototype device that makes it possible to perform a 12-lead ECG measurement on patients without wires from the patient to a monitor. The solution consists of a transmitter and receiver, one of which is close or on the patients body and the other is connected to a monitor.<br/><br/>This thesis...bachelor thesis 2022

Sun, M. (author)Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequently encountered cardiac arrhythmia characterized by rapid and irregular atrial activity, which increases the risk of strokes, heart failure and other heart-related complications. The mechanisms of AF are complicated. Although various mechanisms were proposed in previous research, the precise mechanisms of AF...doctoral thesis 2022

Nambur Ramamohan, K. (author)Microphones are the most popular devices used to convert sound into electrical signals. However, with the advent of sensor technology, transducers capable of measuring vector quantities are opening up many new possibilities. One such device is an acoustic vector sensor (AVS), which measures both acoustic pressure and particle velocity, and has...doctoral thesis 2022

Louwen, Anton (author)Radio frequency fingerprinting has been identified as a method to increase integrity in aircraft surveillance while retaining its openness. One way to uniquely determine transmitting devices is to distill the device its radio frequency (RF) fingerprint by looking at the physical features of the message signal it transmits. This physical layer...master thesis 2022

Prins, Peter J. (author)<b>Research question</b><br/>The topic of this dissertation is the numerical computation of the forward and inverse Non-linear Fourier Transform (NFT) for the Korteweg–de Vries equation (KdV), for sampled signals that decay sufficiently fast on both sides. With NFTs certain non-linear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) can be solved in a way...doctoral thesis 2022

van der Hoeven, Jelmer (author)In the current Big Data era, large amounts of data are collected from complex systems, such as sensor networks and social networks. The emerging field of graph signal processing (GSP) leverages a network structure (graph) to process signals on an irregular domain. This thesis studies the forecasting of multi-dimensional graph processes, i.e.,...master thesis 2022

Brackenhoff, J.A. (author), Thorbecke, J.W. (author), Meles, G.A. (author), Koehne, Victor (author), Barrera, Diego (author), Wapenaar, C.P.A. (author)We implement the 3D Marchenko equations to retrieve responses to virtual sources inside the subsurface. For this, we require reflection data at the surface of the Earth that contain no free-surface multiples and are densely sampled in space. The required 3D reflection data volume is very large and solving the Marchenko equations requires a...journal article 2022

Myers, N.J. (author), Heath, Robert W. (author)Phased arrays, commonly used in IEEE 802.11ad and 5G radios, are capable of focusing radio frequency signals in a specific direction or a spatial region. Beamforming achieves such directional or spatial concentration of signals and enables phased array-based radios to achieve high data rates.

Das, B. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Isufi, E. (author)Data processing over graphs is usually done on graphs of fixed size. However, graphs often grow with new nodes arriving over time. Knowing the connectivity information of these nodes, and thus, the expanded graph is crucial for processing data over the expanded graph. In its absence, its inference and the subsequent data processing become...journal article 2022
