IEEE-AASP Challenge on Acoustic Source Localization and Tracking (LOCATA)
On behalf of the organising committee, I am pleased to announce the release of the development dataset for the IEEE-AASP Challenge on Acoustic Source Localization and Tracking (LOCATA). The aim of this challenge is to provide researchers in the field of acoustic source localization and tracking the opportunity to benchmark their...

Open Access: IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing Authors: Christine Evers and Patrick A. Naylor Abstract: In many applications, sensors that map the positions of objects in unknown environments are installed on dynamic platforms. As measurements are relative to the observer's sensors, scene mapping requires accurate knowledge of the observer state. However, in practice, observer reports...

IEEE Xplore Access: Proc. European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO) Authors: Constantinos Papayannis, Christine Evers and Patrick A. Naylor Abstract: Acoustic channels are typically described by their Acoustic Impulse Response (AIR) as a Moving Average (MA) process. Such AIRs are often considered in terms of their early and late parts, describing discrete reflections and the diffuse...

IEEE Xplore Access: in Proc. IEEE Intl. Conf. on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) Authors: C. Papayiannis, C. Evers, and P. A. Naylor Abstract: Several speech processing and audio data-mining applications rely on a description of the acoustic environment as a feature vector for classification. The discriminative properties of the feature domain play a...
