Sampling of Sparse Channels with Common Support

Martin Vetterli, Yann Barbotin, Ali Hormati

The present paper proposes and studies an algorithm to estimate chan- nels with a sparse common support (SCS). It is a generalization of the classical sampling of signals with Finite Rate of Innovation (FRI) and thus called SCS-FRI. It is applicable to OFD ...

Image sensor having nonlinear response

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz, Sabine Süsstrunk, Edoardo Charbon

In previously known imaging devices as in still and motion cameras, for example, image sensor signal response typically is linear as a function of intensity of incident light. Desirably, however, akin to the response of the human eye, response is sought to ...

Calibration in Circular Ultrasound Tomography Devices

Martin Vetterli, Amin Karbasi, Reza Parhizkar

We consider the position calibration problem in circular tomography devices, where sensors deviate from a perfect circle. We introduce a new method of calibration based on the time-of-flight measurements between sensors when the enclosed medium is homogene ...

Population Size Estimation Using a Few Individuals as Agents

Olivier Dousse, Patrick Thiran, Martin Vetterli, Farid Movahedi Naini

We conduct an experiment where ten attendees of an open-air music festival are acting as Bluetooth probes. We then construct a parametric statistical model to estimate the total number of visible Bluetooth devices in the festival area. By comparing our est ...

The Distributed Multiple Voting Problem

Patrick Thiran, Martin Vetterli, Florence Bénézit

A networked set of agents holding binary opinions does not seem to be able to compute its majority opinion by means of local binary interactions only. However, the majority problem can be solved using two or more bits, instead of one [1]. Pairs of agents a ...

Localization of Diffusive Sources Using Spatiotemporal Measurements

Martin Vetterli, Pier Luigi Dragotti, Yue Lu

Consider a diffusion field induced by a finite number of localized and instantaneous sources. In this paper, we study the problem of estimating these sources (including their intensities, spatial locations, and activation time) from the spatiotemporal samp ...

Sampling and Reconstructing Diffusion Fields with Localized Sources

Martin Vetterli, Amina Chebira, Yue Lu, Juri Ranieri

We study the spatiotemporal sampling of a diffusion field generated by K point sources, aiming to fully reconstruct the unknown initial field distribution from the sample measurements. The sampling operator in our problem can be described by a matrix deriv ...

Spatiotemporal Gradient Analysis of Differential Microphone Arrays

Martin Vetterli, Christof Faller, Mihailo Kolundzija

The literature on gradient and differential microphone arrays makes a distinction between the two types, and nevertheless shows how both types can be used to obtain the same directional responses. A more theoretically sound rationale for using delays in di ...

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

Martin Vetterli, Amina Chebira, Juri Ranieri, Ivan Dokmanic

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 ...

Reproducing Sound Fields Using MIMO Acoustic Channel Inversion

Martin Vetterli, Christof Faller, Mihailo Kolundzija

Sound fields are essentially band-limited phenomena, both temporally and spatially. This implies that a spatially sampled sound field respecting the Nyquist criterion is effectively equivalent to its continuous original. We describe Sound Field Reconstruct ...

Hydrologic response of an alpine watershed: Application of a meteorological wireless sensor network to understand streamflow generation

Martin Vetterli, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Marc Diebold, Marc Parlange, François Ingelrest, Daniel Nadeau, Silvia Simoni, Simone Padoan

A field measurement campaign was conducted from June to October 2009 in a 20 km2 catchment of the Swiss Alps with a wireless network of 12 weather stations and river discharge monitoring. The objective was to investigate the spatial variability of meteorol ...

Estimating Sparse MIMO Channels Having Common Support

Martin Vetterli, Yann Barbotin, Ali Hormati

We propose an algorithm (SCS-FRI) to estimate multipath channels with Sparse Common Support (SCS) based on Finite Rate of Inno- vation (FRI) sampling. In this setup, theoretical lower-bounds are derived, and simulation in a Rayleigh fading environment show ...

Can One Hear the Shape of a Room: The 2–D Polygonal Case

Martin Vetterli, Yue Lu, Ivan Dokmanic

We consider the problem of estimating room geometry from the acoustic room impulse response (RIR). Existing approaches addressing this problem exploit the knowledge of multiple RIRs. In contrast, we are interested in reconstructing the room geometry from a ...
