Multi-Objective NSGA-II Optimization for Broadband Beamforming with Spherical Harmonic Domain Assistance

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Sidelobe suppression is a major challenge in wideband beamforming for acoustic research, especially in high noise and reverberation environments. In this paper, we propose a multi-objective NSGA-II wideband beamforming method based on a spherical ...

Spherical microphone array acoustic rake receivers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Several signal independent acoustic rake receivers are proposed for speech dereverberation using spherical microphone arrays. The proposed rake designs take advantage of multipaths, by separately capturing and combining early reflections with the direct ...

Online Monaural Speech Enhancement Using Delayed Subband LSTM [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
This paper proposes a delayed subband LSTM network for online monaural (single-channel) speech enhancement. The proposed method is developed in the short time Fourier transform (STFT) domain. Online processing requires frame-by-frame signal reception and

Performance Analysis of MVDR Beamformer Applied on an End-fire Microphone Array Composed of Unidirectional Microphones

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2021
Microphone array with minimum variance (MVDR) beamformer is a commonly used method for ambient noise suppression. Unfortunately, the performance of the MVDR beamformer is poor in a real reverberant room due to multipath wave propagation. To overcome this

UV–Optical Disk Reverberation Lags despite a Faint X-Ray Corona in the Active Galactic Nucleus Mrk 335

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
 We present the first results from a 100-day Swift, NICER, and ground-based X-ray–UV–optical reverberation mapping campaign of the Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Mrk 335, when it was in an unprecedented low X-ray flux state.

A channel-selection criterion for suppressing reverberation in cochlear implants [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011
Little is known about the extent to which reverberation affects speech intelligibility by cochlear implant (CI) listeners. Experiment 1 assessed CI users’ performance using Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) sentences corrupted with varying degrees of reverberation.

Speech improvement in noisy reverberant environments using virtual microphones along with proposed array geometry

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2022
This paper proposes a novel approach for improving the speech of a single speaker in noisy reverberant environments. The proposed approach is based on using a beamformer with a large number of virtual microphones with the suggested arrangement on an open

Self-shadowing Effects of Slim Accretion Disks in Active Galactic Nuclei: Diverse Appearance of the Broad-line Region

open access: yes, 2014
Supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) undergo a wide range of accretion rates, which lead to diversity of appearance. We consider the effects of anisotropic radiation from accretion disks on the broad-line region (BLR), from the ...

The intermediate line region in active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We show that the recently observed suppression of the gap between the broad line region (BLR) and the narrow line region (NLR) in some AGN can be fully explained by an increase of the gas density in the emitting region.

Channel and temporal-frequency attention UNet for monaural speech enhancement

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing, 2023
The presence of noise and reverberation significantly impedes speech clarity and intelligibility. To mitigate these effects, numerous deep learning-based network models have been proposed for speech enhancement tasks aimed at improving speech quality. In
