This paper reports on the acute effects of a monaural plug on directional hearing in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) planes of human listeners. Sound localization behavior was tested with rapid head-orienting responses toward brief high-pass filtered (>3 kHz; HP) and broadband (0.5-20 kHz; BB) noises, with sound levels between 30 and 60 dB, A-weighted (dBA). To deny listeners ...

This paper introduces the extended timing annotation dataset (ETAD) product for Sentinel-1 (S-1) which was developed in a joint effort of German Aerospace Center (DLR) and European Space Agency (ESA). It allows to correct range azimuth S-1 images geophysical effects as well inaccuracies synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image focusing. In combination with precise orbit solution, these determine ab...

Bistatic SAR data processing parameters, unlike monostatic SAR data, are generally azimuth-variant. The Non-Linear Chirp Scaling (NLCS) algorithm introduced in this paper is able to handle the azimuth variance. It focuses a bistatic image by first introducing a bulk linear range cell migration correction followed by a chirp scaling process to equalize the azimuth chirp rates for all targets in ...

Next-generation spaceborne SAR systems pose demanding and contradicting requirements on system design, owing to the increasing need to cover ultra-wide swaths with high azimuth resolution, as required for numerous applications. To this end, a large number of multichannel SAR system concepts have been proposed that employ digital beamforming on receive with planar arrays, and more recently also ...

In a previous work, we demonstrated that orientation of the hand in the horizontal plane (azimuth) at the time of grasping depends on the direction of the reaching movement in the horizontal plane. Here we report three experiments to further investigate the generality of this coupling. Azimuth of the hand for grasping was studied while subjects were reaching for objects placed at various locati...

Image formation from squinted sliding spotlight synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is limited by azimuth spectral folding and severe two dimension coupling. This paper presents an Extended Wavenumber Domain Algorithm (WDA) for highly squinted sliding spotlight SAR data processing. This algorithm adopts azimuth deramping approach to overcome the azimuth spectral folding phenomenon. The chirp rate fo...

Precise azimuth-variant motion compensation (MOCO) is an essential and difficult task for high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. In conventional post-filtering approaches, residual azimuth-variant motion errors are generally compensated through a set of spatial post-filters, where the coarse-focused image is segmented into overlapped blocks concerning the azimuth-dependent resi...

The comparison of subsalt images obtained by common-azimuth migration and singlearrival Kirchhoff migration demonstrates the potential of wave-equation migration when the velocity model causes complex multipathing. Subsalt reflectors are better imaged and the typical Kirchhoff artifacts caused by severe multipathing disappear. A detailed analysis of common-azimuth images indicates that the resu...
