Modeling Audio Fingerprints: Structure, Distortion, Capacity

An audio fingerprint is a compact low-level representation of a multimedia signal. An audio fingerprint can be used to identify audio files or fragments in a reliable way. The use of audio fingerprints for identification consists of two phases. In the enrollment phase known content is fingerprinted, and ingested into a database, together with...

Beyond digital interference cancellation

One of the major drawbacks towards the realization of MIMO and multi-sensor wireless communication systems is that multiple antennas at the receiver each have their own separate radio frequency (RF) front ends and analog to digital converter (ADC) units, leading to increased circuit size and power consumption. Improvements in RF and ADC...

Pacman

This bachelor report describes the creation of a fun and informative robot game for the Science Centre Delft. The project entails simulating the classic Pacman computer game using real robots. One robot, Pacman, is controlled by a player and has to fulfil certain assignments. Simultaneously the other robots, monsters, try to catch Pacman. A...

Adaptive motion compensation in sonar array processing

In recent years, sonar performance has mainly improved via a significant increase in array ap-erture, signal bandwidth and computational power. This thesis aims at improving sonar array processing techniques based on these three steps forward. In applications such as anti-submarine warfare and mine hunting motion of the sonar needs to be...

Design reuse in product shape modeling: A study of freeform feature reuse by signal processing techniques

Lack of facilities in supporting design reuse is a serious problem in product shape modeling, especially in computer-aided design systems. This becomes a bottleneck of fast shape conceptualization and creation in consumer product design, which consequently prohibits creativity and innovation. In the past, several efforts have been made in order...
