Patent number: 11988735Abstract: Position information estimation in a distributed radio frequency (RF) communications system is provided. Embodiments disclosed herein facilitate high-precision estimations of positions, orientations, velocities, and acceleration of network nodes in a distributed RF network (e.g., including base stations and vehicles, such as aircraft or unmanned aerial systems (UASs)). Modern radio systems must adapt to limited spectral access by reducing spectrum demand and increasing operational efficiency. In this regard, an RF system is provided which simultaneously performs positioning and communications tasks. This system specifically addresses the issue of spectral congestion by employing an extremely efficient positioning strategy and using a joint waveform that simultaneously enables both tasks. This efficiency in turn supports more users in a given frequency allocation.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of Arizona State UniversityInventors: Sharanya Srinivas, Andrew Herschfelt, Daniel W.

Patent number: 11988772Abstract: Remote recovery of acoustic signals from passive sources is provided. Wideband radars, such as ultra-wideband (UWB) radars can detect minute surface displacements for vibrometry applications. Embodiments described herein remotely sense sound and recover acoustic signals from vibrating sources using radars. Early research in this domain only demonstrated single sound source recovery using narrowband millimeter wave radars in direct line-of-sight scenarios. Instead, by using wideband radars (e.g., X band UWB radars), multiple sources separated in ranges are observed and their signals isolated and recovered. Additionally, the see-through ability of microwave signals is leveraged to extend this technology to surveillance of targets obstructed by barriers. Blind surveillance is achieved by reconstructing audio from a passive object which is merely in proximity of the sound source using clever radar and audio processing techniques.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of Arizona State UniversityInventors: Yu Rong, Daniel W.

Publication number: 20240153103Abstract: Tracking-based motion deblurring via coded exposure is provided. Fast object tracking is useful for a variety of applications in surveillance, autonomous vehicles, and remote sensing. In particular, there is a need to have these algorithms embedded on specialized hardware, such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) or application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), to ensure energy-efficient operation while saving on latency, bandwidth, and memory access/storage. In an exemplary aspect, an object tracker is used to track motion of one or more objects in a scene captured by an image sensor. The object tracker is coupled with coded exposure of the image sensor, which modulates photodiodes in the image sensor with a known exposure function (e.g., based on the object tracking). This allows for motion blur to be encoded in a characteristic manner in image data captured by the image sensor. Then, in post-processing, deblurring is performed using a computational algorithm.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Arizona Board of Regents on Behalf of Arizona State UniversityInventors: Suren Jayasuriya, Odrika Iqbal, Andreas Spanias

Patent number: 11978466Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses to restore degraded speech via a modified diffusion model are described. An exemplary system is specially configured to train a diffusion-based vocoder containing an upsampler, based on pairing original speech x and degraded speech mel-spectrum mT samples; train a deep convoluted neural network (CNN) upsampler based on a mean absolute error loss to match the estimated original speech {circumflex over (x)}? outputted by the diffusion-based vocoder by extracting the upsampler, generating a reference conditioner, and generating a weighted altered conditioner cTn?. The system further optimizes speech quality to invert non-linear transformation and estimate lost data by feeding the degraded mel-spectrum mT through the CNN upsampler and feeding the degraded mel-spectrum mT through the diffusion-based vocoder. The system then generates estimated original speech {circumflex over (x)}? based on the corresponding degraded speech mel-spectrum mT. Other related embodiments are described.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of Arizona State UniversityInventors: Jianwei Zhang, Suren Jayasuriya, Visar Berisha
