چکیده

Matched filter array processing (MFA) has been shown to improve signal-to-noise (SNR) quality for array speech capture in reverberant environments. However, under non-optimum conditions, MFA processing is computationally costly, and may produce little improvement or even subjective quality degradation as compared with simple time delay compensation (TDC). Appropriate truncation of the MFA filter bank is shown to reduce the computational burden without significantly reducing the capture SNR. This work attempts to find an optimal truncation time with respect to room size, wall absorption and the number of microphonesused for the system. Simulations were conducted to evaluate MFA performance as a function of truncation length as these parameters were varied in situations typical of teleconferencing applications. It was demonstrated that judicious MFA truncation allows a reduction in computation load without sacrificing capture SNR.

Efficient Structures for Quadratic Time-frequency and Time-scale Array Processors

Sensor arrays are able to enhance desired signal reception while simultaneously suppressing undesired components through the use of directionality. In many important applications, the return signal is best modeled as being nonstationary and may lose coherence between sensors, severely limiting the performance of traditional array processors based on matched-field beamforming. Quadratic array pr...

Windowing Effects of Short Time Fourier Transform on Wideband Array Signal Processing Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation

During the last two decades, Maximum Likelihood estimation (ML) has been used to determine Direction Of Arrival (DOA) and signals propagated by the sources, using narrowband array signals. The algorithm fails in the case of wideband signals. As an attempt by the present study to overcome the problem, the array outputs are transformed into narrowband frequency bins, using short time Fourier tran...

Efficient quadratic detection in perturbed arrays via Fourier transform techniques

Matched-field beamforming used in combination with a generalized likelihood ratio test is the most common detector structure in array processing situations. Unfortunately, various array perturbations caused by phase, calibration, propagation effects, or modeling errors can cause the sensor observations to become only partially correlated, limiting the performance of traditional matched-field be...

Effects of Flocculant, Surfactant, Coagulant, and Filter Aid on Efficiency of Filtration Processing of Copper Concentrate: Mechanism and Optimization

In the recent decades, water scarcity has become a major challenge for many reasons, especially the inadequate use of water resources. The mineral processing plant is among the most important water-consuming industries. Filtration, as one of the important processes in water recovery, is a process in which the solid-suspended particles are removed from the liquid. In the present work, the effect...
