Abstract

International audience; This paper deals with robust heart rate detection intended for the in-car monitoring of people. There are two main problems associated with radar-based heart rate detection. Firstly, the signal associated with the human heart is difficult to separate from breathing harmonics in the frequency domain. Secondly, the vital signal is affected by any interference signal from hand gestures, lips motion during speech or any other random body motions (RBM). To handle the problem of the breathing harmonics, we propose a novel algorithm based on time series data instead of the conventionally used frequency domain technique. In our proposed method, a deep learning classifier is used to detect the pattern of the heart rate signal. To deal with the interference mitigation from the random body motions, we identify an optimum location for the radar sensor inside the car. In this paper, a commercially available Novelda Xethru X4 radar is used for signal acquisition and vital sign measurement of 5 people. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with and found to be superior to that of the conventional frequency domain technique.

Abstract

International audience; Ambient sound scenes typically comprise multiple short events occurring on top of a somewhat stationary background. We consider the task of separating these events from the background, which we call foreground-background ambient sound scene separation. We propose a deep learning-based separation framework with a suitable feature normaliza-tion scheme and an optional auxiliary network capturing the background statistics, and we investigate its ability to handle the great variety of sound classes encountered in ambient sound scenes, which have often not been seen in training. To do so, we create single-channel foreground-background mixtures using isolated sounds from the DESED and Audioset datasets, and we conduct extensive experiments with mixtures of seen or unseen sound classes at various signal-to-noise ratios. Our experimental findings demonstrate the generalization ability of the proposed approach.

Abstract

We investigate the effect of speaker localization on the performance of speech recognition systems in a multispeaker, multichannel environment. Given the speaker location information, speech separation is performed in three stages. In the first stage, a simple delay-and-sum (DS) beamformer is used to enhance the signal impinging from the speaker location which is then used to estimate a time-frequency mask corresponding to the localized speaker using a neural network. This mask is used to compute the second order statistics and to derive an adaptive beamformer in the third stage. We generated a multichannel, multispeaker, reverberated, noisy dataset inspired from the well studied WSJ0-2mix and study the performance of the proposed pipeline in terms of the word error rate (WER). An average WER of $29.4$% was achieved using the ground truth localization information and $42.4$% using the localization information estimated via GCC-PHAT. The signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) between the speakers has a higher impact on the ASR performance, to the extent of reducing the WER by $59$% relative for a SIR increase of $15$ dB. By contrast, increasing the spatial distance to $50^\circ$ or more improves the WER by $23$% relative only, Comment: Submitted to ICASSP 2020

Abstract

This paper addresses the structurally constrained sparse decomposition of multi-dimensional signals onto overcomplete families of vectors, called dictionaries. The contribution of the paper is threefold. Firstly, a generic spatio-temporal regularization term is designed and used together with the standard ź 1 regularization term to enforce a sparse decomposition preserving the spatio-temporal structure of the signal. Secondly, an optimization algorithm based on the split Bregman approach is proposed to handle the associated optimization problem, and its convergence is analyzed. Our well-founded approach yields same accuracy as the other algorithms at the state of the art, with significant gains in terms of convergence speed. Thirdly, the empirical validation of the approach on artificial and real-world problems demonstrates the generality and effectiveness of the method. On artificial problems, the proposed regularization subsumes the Total Variation minimization and recovers the expected decomposition. On the real-world problem of electro-encephalography brainwave decomposition, the approach outperforms similar approaches in terms of P300 evoked potentials detection, using structured spatial priors to guide the decomposition. HighlightsA sparse structured decomposition method is proposed for multi-dimensional signals.Knowledge priors are encoded in a regularization to obtain plausible representations.The proposed split-Bregman based method outperforms counterparts in terms of speed.The approach is applied to EEG denoising for the extraction of P300 potentials.

Abstract

International audience; We consider the problem of exploring an anonymous line by a team of k identical, oblivious, asynchronous deterministic mobile robots that can view the environment but cannot communicate. We completely characterize sizes of teams of robots capable of exploring a n-node line. For k= 5, or k=4 and n is odd. For all values of k for which exploration is possible, we give an exploration algorithm. For all others, we prove an impossibility result.
