Sound-source recognition : a theory and computational model
… objects in the environment from only the sounds they produce is extraordinarily robust with regard to characteristics of the acoustic environment and of other competing sound sources. In contrast, computer systems designed to recognize sound sources function precariously, breaking down …

Non-Line-of-Sight localisation of a sound source
… uses multiple on-ground microphones to locate a sound source. The proposed technique approximately estimates and corrects the NLoS errors based on an initial guess of the sound source position and a map. The localisation is then achieved by iteratively correcting the ToAs and updating the sound …

Sound Source Segregation in the Acoustic Parasitiod Fly Ormia ochracea
Sound source localization depends on the auditory system to identify, recognize, and segregate elements of salient sources over distracting noise. My research investigates sensory mechanisms involved in these auditory processing tasks of an insect hearing specialist, to isolate individual sound …

Biologically inspired binaural sound source localization and tracking for mobile robots
… biologically inspired methods of binaural sound source localization for mobile robots. We also propose a method for modulating a robot's attention inspired from the barn owl and last, a tracking system which makes it possible for a robot to track objects emitting sounds. Regarding sound …

Sound from ultrasound : the parametric array as an audible sound source
… the use of the parametric array as an audible sound source, permitting audible sound to be generated with very high directivity compared to traditional loudspeakers of comparable size. The thesis begins with a review of basic underlying mathematics and relevant approximate solutions of …

Efficient modeling of sound source radiation in free-space and room environments
… to develop efficient acoustics simulations for sources in different room environments, a modeling procedure has been proposed that consists of two steps in general: (1) the modeling of the free-space radiation of the source based on measurements in a anechoic environment, and (2) the prediction …

FLY-EAR INSPIRED MINIATURE SENSOR SYSTEM FOR TWO-DIMENSIONAL SOUND SOURCE LOCALIZATION
A micro-scale sound localization sensor is developed and studied in this thesis to address the fundamental challenge of miniaturizing sound localization systems. When miniaturizing a microphone array, there is a critical size limitation at which the array will be unable to localize the sound source …

Binaural sound source localization using machine learning with spiking neural networks features extraction
… take advantage of a variety of cues to localise sound-sources in a 3D space using only two sensors. This work presents a bionic system that utilises aspects of binaural hearing in an automated source localisation task. A head and torso emulator (KEMAR) are used to acquire binaural signals and a …

Effect of Sound Source Location and Spatial Hearing on the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR)
<p>Accurate measurement of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is imperative in differential diagnosis of vestibular disorders and balance function. However, the assessment protocol faces a number of limitations, including the need to control for extra- vestibular sensory factors such as hearing. …
