Sampling Spherical Finite Rate of Innovation Signals

2015
Conference Papers

Abstract

Sampling schemes on the sphere require O(L^2) samples to perfectly sample and reconstruct a signal with bandwidth L. If the signal in question is a low-pass observation of a finite collection of spikes or rotations of a known function, we can use less samples. We propose an algorithm that improves over the best known finite rate of innovation (FRI) sampling scheme on the sphere by a factor of approximately four. Further, we show how multiple sound source localization (SSL) by a spherical microphone array can be transformed into a spherical FRI sampling problem. We certify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by using it to solve the SSL problem.

Sampling (statistics)

In statistics, quality assurance, and survey methodology, sampling is the selection of a subset or a statistical sample (termed sample for short) of individuals from within a statistical population to estimate characteristics of the whole population. Statisticians attempt to collect samples that are representative of the population. Sampling has lower costs and faster data collection compared to recording data from the entire population, and thus, it can provide insights in cases where it is infeasible to measure an entire population.

Microphone

A microphone, colloquially called mic (maɪk), is a transducer that converts sound into an electrical signal. Microphones are used in many applications such as telephones, hearing aids, public address systems for concert halls and public events, motion picture production, live and recorded audio engineering, sound recording, two-way radios, megaphones, and radio and television broadcasting. They are also used in computers for recording voice, speech recognition, VoIP, and for other purposes such as ultrasonic sensors or knock sensors.

Acoustic location

Acoustic location is the use of sound to determine the distance and direction of its source or reflector. Location can be done actively or passively, and can take place in gases (such as the atmosphere), liquids (such as water), and in solids (such as in the earth). Active acoustic location involves the creation of sound in order to produce an echo, which is then analyzed to determine the location of the object in question.
