Lend me an Ear: Speech Enhancement Using a Robotic Arm with a Microphone Array
Zachary Turcotte, François Grondin
Speech enhancement performance degrades significantly in noisy environments, limiting the deployment of speech-controlled technologies in industrial settings, such as manufacturing…
Acoustic Drone Package Delivery Detection
François Marcoux, François Grondin
In recent years, the illicit use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for deliveries in restricted area such as prisons became a significant security challenge. While numerous studie…
Sugar Shack 4.0: Implementation of a Cyber-Physical System for Logistic and Sanitary Automation in a Maple Syrup Boiling Center
Thomas Bernard, François Grondin, Jean-Michel Lavoie
This paper presents the design and deployment of a process-aware cyber-physical system that automates plant-level logistics, traceability, and sanitation in a centralized maple-syr…
Unsupervised Improved MVDR Beamforming for Sound Enhancement
Jacob Kealey, John Hershey, François Grondin
Neural networks have recently become the dominant approach to sound separation. Their good performance relies on large datasets of isolated recordings. For speech and music, isolat…
Efficient Face Detection with Audio-Based Region Proposals for Human-Robot Interactions
William Aris, François Grondin
Efficient face detection is critical to provide natural human-robot interactions. However, computer vision tends to involve a large computational load due to the amount of data (i.…
PlumberNet: Fixing interference leakage after GEV beamforming
François Grondin, Caleb Rascón
Spatial filters can exploit deep-learning-based speech enhancement models to increase their reliability in scenarios with multiple speech sources scenarios. To further improve spee…
