USE OF SIMILARITY METRICS IN ROBUST TIME DELAY ESTIMATION

Robust Time-delay Estimation in Highly Adverse Acoustic Environments

This paper describes an algorithm for robust time-delay estimation (TDE) in situations where a large amount of additive noise and reverberation is present. In [1] an adaptive eigenvalue decomposition algorithm has been developed for TDE between two microphones in highly reverberant acoustic environments. In this paper we extend this algorithm to highly noisy and reverberant environments, by usi...

Robust Multichannel Acoustic Time Delay Estimation in Reverberant Environments

Time delay estimation is a basic building block of an acoustic source localization system. Such a system must cope with adverse acoustic conditions to be generally applicable, i.e. high reverberation times and low signal-to-noise ratios. In general, better results can be achieved if multiple channels are considered. We propose an extension of a mutual information based delay estimator to the mu...

Delay-Dependent Robust Asymptotically Stable for Linear Time Variant Systems

In this paper, the problem of delay dependent robust asymptotically stable for uncertain linear time-variant system with multiple delays is investigated. A new delay-dependent stability sufficient condition is given by using the Lyapunov method, linear matrix inequality (LMI), parameterized first-order model transformation technique and transformation of the interval uncertainty in to the norm ...

Time-Delay Selection for Robust Angle of Arrival Estimation

Application of Model-Based Estimation to Time-Delay Estimation of Ultrasonic Testing Signals

Time-Delay-Estimation (TDE) has been a topic of interest in many applications in the past few decades. The emphasis of this work is on the application of model-based estimation (MBE) for TDE of ultrasonic signals used in ultrasonic thickness gaging. Ultrasonic thickness gaging is based on precise measurement of the time difference between successive echoes which reflect back from the back wall ...
