The regularized tau estimator: A robust and efficient solution to ill-posed linear inverse problems

Martin Vetterli, Benjamin Bejar Haro, Marta Martinez-Camara

Linear inverse problems are ubiquitous. Often the measurements do not follow a Gaussian distribution. Additionally, a model matrix with a large condition number can complicate the problem further by making it ill-posed. In this case, the performance of pop ...

FRIDA: FRI-Based DOA Estimation For Arbitrary Array Layouts

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Robin Scheibler, Eric Bezzam, Hanjie Pan

In this paper we present FRIDA—an algorithm for estimating directions of arrival of multiple wideband sound sources. FRIDA combines multi-band information coherently and achieves state- of-the-art resolution at extremely low signal-to-noise ratios. It work ...

From Lagrange to Shannon...and Back: Another Look at Sampling

Martin Vetterli, Paolo Prandoni

Classical digital signal processing (DSP) lore tells us the tale of a continuous-time primeval signal, of its brutal sampling, and of the magic sinc interpolation that, under the aegis of bandlimitedness, brings the original signal back to (continuous) lif ...

Sensor Networks for Diffusion Fields: Detection of Sources in Space and Time

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic, Juri Ranieri

We consider the problem of reconstructing a diffusion field, such as temperature, from samples collected by a sensor network. Motivated by the fast decay of the eigenvalues of the diffusion equation, we approximate the field by a truncated series. We show ...

Demosaicking by Alternating Projections: Theory and Fast One-Step Implementation

Martin Vetterli, Yue Lu

Color image demosaicking is a key process in the digital imaging pipeline. In this paper, we study a well-known and influential demosaicking algorithm based on alternating projections (AP), proposed by Gunturk, Altunbasak and Mersereau in 2002. Since its p ...

Sensorcam: An Energy-Efficient Smart Wireless Camera for Environmental Monitoring

Martin Vetterli, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Paolo Prandoni, Zichong Chen

Reducing energy cost is crucial for energy-constrained smart wireless cameras. Existing platforms impose two main challenges: First, most commercial smart phones have a closed platform, which makes it impossible to manage low-level circuits. Since the samp ...

Sampling and Exact Reconstruction of Pulses with Variable Width

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Gilles Baechler, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz

Recent sampling results enable the reconstruction of signals composed of streams of fixed-shaped pulses. These results have found applications in topics as varied as channel estimation, biomedical imaging and radio astronomy. However, in many real signals, ...

The Gigavision Camera

Edoardo Charbon, Martin Vetterli, Sabine Süsstrunk, Luciano Sbaiz, Feng Yang

We propose a new image device called gigavision camera. The main differences between a conventional and a gigavision camera are that the pixels of the gigavision camera are binary and orders of magnitude smaller. A gigavision camera can be built using stan ...

Compressive Sampling of Multiple Sparse Signals Having Common Support Using Finite Rate of Innovation Principles

Martin Vetterli, Ali Hormati

In sensor networks and communication systems, one is often confronted with sampling multiple sparse signals having a common support set. Multipath channels in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication setting is an interesting example ...

Spatial Super-Resolution of a Diffusion Field by Temporal Oversampling in Sensor Networks

Martin Vetterli, Yue Lu

We study the spatial-temporal sampling of a linear diffusion field, and show that it is possible to compensate for insufficient spatial sampling densities by oversampling in time. Our work is motivated by the following issue often encountered in sensor net ...

Room Helps: Acoustic Localization With Finite Elements

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic

Acoustic source localization often relies on the free-space/far-field model. Recent work exploiting spatio-temporal sparsity promises to go beyond these scenarios, however, it requires the knowledge of the transfer functions from each possible source locat ...

Multi-channel low-frequency room equalization using perceptually motivated constrained optimization

Martin Vetterli, Christof Faller, Mihailo Kolundzija

We consider the problem of multiple-loudspeaker low-frequency room equalization for a wide listening area, where the equalized loudspeaker is helped using the remaining ones. Using a spatial discretization of the listening area, we formulate the problem as ...

Let There Be Light: Robust Lensless Imaging Under External Illumination With Deep Learning

Stefan Christian Peters, Martin Vetterli, Eric Bezzam

Lensless cameras relax the design constraints of traditional cameras by shifting image formation from analog optics to digital post-processing. While new camera designs and applications can be enabled, lensless imaging is very sensitive to unwanted interfe ...
