Acoustic MIMO Signal Processing - Huang, Yiteng

. .

Résumé :
Telecommunication systems and human-machine interfaces start employing multiple microphones and loudspeakers in order to make conversations and interactions more lifelike, hence more efficient. This development gives rise to a variety of acoustic signal processing problems under multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scenarios, encompassing distant speech acquisition, sound source localization and tracking, echo and noise control, source separation and speech dereverberation, and many others. Acoustic MIMO Signal Processing is divided into two major parts - the theoretical and the practical. The authors begin by introducing an acoustic MIMO paradigm, establishing the fundamental of the field, and linking acoustic MIMO signal processing with the concepts of classical signal processing and communication theories in terms of system identification, equalization, and adaptive algorithms. In the second part of the book, a novel and penetrating analysis of aforementioned acoustic applications is carried out in the paradigm to reinforce the fundamental concepts of acoustic MIMO signal processing. Acoustic MIMO Signal Processing is a timely and important professional reference for researchers and practitioners from universities and a wide range of industries. It is also an excellent text for graduate students who are interested in this exciting field.

Biographie:
Jacob Benesty was born in 1963. He received the Masters degree in microwaves from Pierre & Marie Curie University, France, in 1987, and the Ph.D. degree in control and signal processing from Orsay University, France, in April 1991. During his Ph.D. program (from November 1989 to April 1991), he worked on adaptive filters and fast algorithms at the Centre National d'Etudes des Telecommunications (CNET), Paris, France. From January 1994 to July 1995, he worked at Telecom Paris University on multichannel adaptive filters and acoustic echo cancellation. From October 1995 to May 2003, he was first a Consultant and then a Member of the Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ, USA. In May 2003, he joined INRS-EMT, University of Quebec, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, as a Professor. His research interests are in signal processing, acoustic signal processing,and multimedia communications.Dr.Benesty receivedthe 2001 and 2008 Best Paper Awards from the IEEE Signal Processing Society. He was a member of the editorial board of the EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing, a member of the IEEE Audio & Electroacoustics Technical Committee, the co-chair of the 1999 International Workshop on Acoustic Echo and Noise Control (IWAENC), and the general co-chair of the 2009 IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics (WASPAA). Dr. Benesty co-authored and co-edited many books in the area of acoustic signal processing.
